Fix confusion between 099 and 942 field in UNIMARC framework
by Mathieu Saby 23 Aug '25

23 Aug '25

Hi Some weeks ago I submitted a patch in order to fix the management of Koha-specific fields in UNIMARC. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38336 If you're familiar with the way Koha manage UNIMARC and think you can make a constructive comment, don't hesitate. Even if don't know UNIMARC you should be able to test easily the patch and sign if off by following the test plan. Regards, Mathieu Saby, Université Cote d'Azur

Slowness & outages
by Chris Davis 11 Jul '25

11 Jul '25

Dear Colleagues, My library consortium is hosted by ByWater Solutions and during the last seven days, several times Koha has been slow and then there's an outage for thirty to sixty minutes then things are fine for a while, then there's more slowness and outage. ByWater is addressing these issues, but I want to know if anyone else's sites or clients are having issues like these? I am also trying to get educated on modern internet threats and causes for issues like this. ByWater told us that the cause of these issues are the many, many AI bots that are crawling our site and ByWater has put our site behind CloudFlare for protection. I also know that at https://status.bywatersolutions.com, ByWater mentioned that their upstream provider have had issues with SSL errors and major data packet loss. Thank you, Christopher Davis Technical Services Specialist Lincoln County Library District (541) 264-8141 <tel:5412648141> christopher.davis(a)lincolncolibrarydist.org www.lincolncolibrarydist.org <https://www.lincolncolibrarydist.org> Click to view my schedule or book an appointment w/ me <https://calendar.app.google/6Ymx4UrHiTfR6faaA>

Question on Cronjob for building holds queue
by Bruns, Anke 01 Jul '25

01 Jul '25

Dear list, one, and only one of our Koha servers/instances regularly sends this message: ---------- /etc/cron.hourly/koha-common: RealTimeHoldsQueue system preference is enabled, holds queue not built. Use --force to force building the holds queue. ipp-greifswald: 1 status returned by "/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/holds/build_holds_queue.pl" ---------- Does this mean we have to add --force as a parameter to the relevant line in koha-common, changing koha-foreach --chdir --enabled /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/holds/build_holds_queue.pl to koha-foreach --chdir --enabled /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/holds/build_holds_queue.pl --force ? I am asking because in none of our other instances this error message comes up although they all do not have the --force parameter. Thanks for your help in advance, and have a nice Monday!
