Thank you Sunil for that info, I have found the current one is holding info at tag 852 I have edited it using MARCEdit 8.5 and when I import I see there are items imported though when I go to the book itself to view it tells me that "no physical items for this record" what could I be doing wrong?

Fwd: Koha Database Migration
by Chris Nighswonger 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Yesan, Please send your support requests to the Koha User's list. You will have a much greater chance of getting a response that way. You should be able to do an "in place" upgrade. After taking a backup of your current database, just install the new version of Koha and browse to the staff interface to run the installer. There is also at least one script you will need to run from the command line to remove the items from the bibs. Probably the best way is to move to the packages. I believe there is a way when installing from the packages to import your existing database. Check out koha-create for more on that. Also, I think the packages will run all of the necessary back-end scripts. Someone else will correct me if I'm wrong.

Dear All, I agree with the same, I always had problem in advance search especially for the barcode based search. Even if I select the barcode as search option and enter the specific barcode number, Koha opac always show all the titles wherever that specific number is entered. But other that the barcode number. Is there any solution for the same?

One of the things we noticed is that the advanced search option is not only confusing for blind users but also even for normal users. I have noticed the following issues with it: 1) By default the Fewer Options option is selected, which is not obvious to the normal users until they click on More Options. 2) The layout could be a lot better, in particular the Fewer Options search form is quite abstract in what it does. For example, the default boolean operator is AND which is not obvious to even normal user. In my opinion, layout similar to the one http://kea.massey.ac.nz/search/X, is better. Looking forward to your comments/feedback.

I generallly like the "look: of the Koha advanced search page. The problem (apart from any accessibility issues) is that some functions don't work as one might expect - as outlined below. Also: We would like to turn off or limit languages to onees that are actually available in our catalog. The Search for additional content types is really misleading as it relies on codes from marc field 008 which may or may not have been used. I'm sure I have other issues with this screen and I would be keen to discuss any improvements further. We support anything that makes it more accessible too.

It has been quite some time since I've tried to use koha. I've been upgrading my koha from 3.00 towards 3.8 via the tarball method. I was attempting to be good, and going in smallish steps so 3.00 to 3.02 to 3.04 to 3.06 and then to 3.8. In between each upgrade I was trying a few searches to make sure that the books end of the db was intact and then backing up the DB. After the 3.06 step it seemed to be working. But, after the 3.8 step suddenly most of the books seem to have vanished. I'd put it down to noticing in the upgrade notes some extra steps that I didn't see in the 3.6 or 3.4 notes (the ones about removing the duplicated item details). So I dropped the DB and reloaded the backup from the 3.6 step and tried without these steps. I've also now tried the original backup too, without success. I'm not sure at this point if it's the items that have vanished or the records too. Yes, I have run rebuild_zebra -b -r as the koha user (several times no luck). So I suppose I'm looking for guidance on a) working out what is going on. b) how to get normality back again. -ramon. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2012 18:01:53 +0200 From: Hugo Agud <hagud(a)orex.es> To: Ramon Andi?ach <custard(a)westnet.com.au> Cc: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Problems upgrading to 3.8 Message-ID: <CADT_QRTsaDrrye_Ux-To_JkjQZk=eT3QN_b1UEoEPSg1N_k64Q(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi Ramon Do not worry it happens to a lot of people ... take a look on this http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8665 Kindest Regards 2012/10/24 Ramon Andi?ach <custard(a)westnet.com.au> > Hi, > > This is going sound pathetic, and stupid, but I'm in need of some > guidance.

Dear Dennis, I believe you are missing MARC tag 952 series, 952 is the local tags which contain all the information about the holding. For example. 952$8$9$a$b$c$g$h$p$y $8 is for collection code $9 is for biblio number $a is for permanent location $b is for current location $c is for shelf location $g is for purchase price (you can include the vendor name, location and invoice details also here) $h is for volume details of the resources mainly it is used for the journal/magazine/periodicals $p is for the barcode $y is for the item type Once you have all the required information in 952 series you can convert the file into marc format and upload the same to koha, as the standard process.

It has been quite some time since I've tried to use koha. I've been upgrading my koha from 3.00 towards 3.8 via the tarball method. I was attempting to be good, and going in smallish steps so 3.00 to 3.02 to 3.04 to 3.06 and then to 3.8. In between each upgrade I was trying a few searches to make sure that the books end of the db was intact and then backing up the DB. After the 3.06 step it seemed to be working. But, after the 3.8 step suddenly most of the books seem to have vanished. I'd put it down to noticing in the upgrade notes some extra steps that I didn't see in the 3.6 or 3.4 notes (the ones about removing the duplicated item details). So I dropped the DB and reloaded the backup from the 3.6 step and tried without these steps. I've also now tried the original backup too, without success. I'm not sure at this point if it's the items that have vanished or the records too. Yes, I have run rebuild_zebra -b -r as the koha user (several times no luck). So I suppose I'm looking for guidance on a) working out what is going on. b) how to get normality back again. -ramon. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2012 18:01:53 +0200 From: Hugo Agud <hagud(a)orex.es> To: Ramon Andi?ach <custard(a)westnet.com.au> Cc: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Problems upgrading to 3.8 Message-ID: <CADT_QRTsaDrrye_Ux-To_JkjQZk=eT3QN_b1UEoEPSg1N_k64Q(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi Ramon Do not worry it happens to a lot of people ... take a look on this http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8665 Kindest Regards 2012/10/24 Ramon Andi?ach <custard(a)westnet.com.au> > Hi, > > This is going sound pathetic, and stupid, but I'm in need of some > guidance.

Problems upgrading to 3.8
by Ramon Andiñach 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi, This is going sound pathetic, and stupid, but I'm in need of some guidance. It has been quite some time since I've tried to use koha. I've been upgrading my koha from 3.00 towards 3.8 via the tarball method. I was attempting to be good, and going in smallish steps so 3.00 to 3.02 to 3.04 to 3.06 and then to 3.8. In between each upgrade I was trying a few searches to make sure that the books end of the db was intact and then backing up the DB. After the 3.06 step it seemed to be working. But, after the 3.8 step suddenly most of the books seem to have vanished. I'd put it down to noticing in the upgrade notes some extra steps that I didn't see in the 3.6 or 3.4 notes (the ones about removing the duplicated item details). So I dropped the DB and reloaded the backup from the 3.6 step and tried without these steps. I've also now tried the original backup too, without success. I'm not sure at this point if it's the items that have vanished or the records too. Yes, I have run rebuild_zebra -b -r as the koha user (several times no luck). So I suppose I'm looking for guidance on a) working out what is going on. b) how to get normality back again. -ramon.
