I did change the settings as you said. The name of z39.50 server appears in the list of the servers. When I make a search it shows up "No Results". But when I make search in the server using the same field, it gives me about 50 results.<div>
<br></div><div>I have also noticed that other z39.50 targets here have encoding as MARC-8. It searches the z39.50 records from the Library of Congress and all other targets except that I have defined.</div><div><br></div>
<div>What could be the problem???</div><div><br></div><div>Please Help.</div><div><br></div><div>Thankyou.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 11:48 PM, Jonathan Field <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jonathan.field@ptfs-europe.com">jonathan.field@ptfs-europe.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
If you are then looking to search it FROM Koha (that is, back to yourself) you need to configure the target as your describe in the Z39.50 Server Administration. I would make a couple of changes to way you describe it below though.<div class="im">

<br>
The values for the port is found in your koha-conf.xml<br>
<!-- public server runs on tcp --><br>
<!-- <listen id="publicserver" >tcp:@:9999</listen> --><br>
<br>
in this case 9999. You can change the port number if you wish though.<br>

I have tried it before but its a bit confusing. I could not get the search results. I think I made something wrong.<br>
<br>
Don't we have to configure the target from backend???<br>
<br>
I have made a new z39.50 target with the following parameters:<br>
<br>
Z39.50 Server: Healthnet Nepal<br>
Hostname: 202.70.88.18<br>
Port: 9999<br>
Database: biblios<br>
Userid: kohauser<br>
Password: zebrastripes<br>
Checked: 1<br>
Rank: 0<br>
Syntax: Marc21/USMARC<br>
Encoding: MARC-8<br>
<br>
Aren't these things required???<br>
<br>
What are the values to be put in the port, database and encoding fields???<br>
<br>
I am really confused.<br>
<br>
Please Help<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>

Hello Nitesh,<br>
I have this working on my installation. You need to configure your<br>
koha-conf.xml. It is described here:-<br>
<a href="http://koha.org/documentation/faq/could-someone-tell-me-the-exact-steps-i-need-to-take-to-configure-zebra-to-expose-my-koha-3-db-as-a-public-z39.50-service" target="_blank">http://koha.org/documentation/faq/could-someone-tell-me-the-exact-steps-i-need-to-take-to-configure-zebra-to-expose-my-koha-3-db-as-a-public-z39.50-service</a><br>
<br>
I believe, right now, it is not possible to target an individual<br>
library/collection, only the whole database.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps<br>

Hello all.<br>
<br>
I am using KOHA 3.0.3 in Debian Lenny. We are currently hosting<br>
10 different libraries. We want the records of one library to be<br>
searched from another library. For this we are thinking to make<br>
a z39.50 server in our Koha Installation with all the records of<br>
10 libraries into a single server. In this way we can share our<br>
records.<br>
<br>
But I cannot find any resources that says how to make a working<br>
z39.50 server out of my existing Koha Installation.<br>
<br>
If anybody has done it before or has some kinds of tutorials to<br>
make it, please reply.<br>
<br>
Please Help.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>
