Hi there,<br><br>Thanks for your help. As it happens, I tried getting a few records via Mercury (free XP Z39.50 client). I couldn't import them either. As stated, however, the Bookwhere files could be imported via <a href="http://bulkmarcimport.pl">bulkmarcimport.pl</a> - but not by web interface...<br>
<br>So I suspect the problem is with Koha or with my installation...<br><br>Thanks for your help. I'll keep looking and would welcome other ideas ;-P<br><br>Joel<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 3:40 PM, Doug Dearden <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dearden@sarsf.org">dearden@sarsf.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Just some troubleshooting thoughts. Have you tried looking
at the bookwhere file using MarcEdit? I had a situation where a wrongly formatted
record would cause the import to fail – and would identify the following
record in the file as the culprit. Using MarcEdit you should be able to
look at the first record in the file, and also to break out a subset of the
records and see if they import. Maybe that will give you a clue as to
where the problem is.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I contacted you a few months ago regarding a Koha
installation I did for a small school. Everything is going well, we are now in
production with only a few minor hicups. Great stuff, thanks for Koha - it is a
great tool and it helps this little institution a lot.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There is however one thing our librarian would like to be
able to do: import files from Bookwhere (his favorite Z39.50 client) with new
notices.<br>
<br>
I managed to import a Bookwhere-generated file via <a href="http://bulkmarcimport.pl" target="_blank">bulkmarcimport.pl</a> but the
web interface wouldn't work: I can load my file, find my records under
"manage staged Marc import" but the "import into catalog"
step always results in 0 records added - the records aren't in the database and
the "Bib" cell stays empty.<br>
<br>
I don't get anything in the koha_error_log - I googled around, checked the
bugzilla but nothing conclusive. Anyone has an idea what is going on - or where
to start looking? Thanks a lot.<br>
<br>
By the way I am using koha 3.00.04_fixed.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
