Background job / Staging MARC import stuck at 0%
by Michael Brown 09 May '23

09 May '23

Greetings: My name is Michael Brown and I am a professional cataloger and SirsiDynix System Admin at the Texas State Library & Archives in Austin (20+ years now). I have been using Koha on Arch Linux in my home library for about a year now. I am migrating my home server to AlmaLinux and I'm having a problem. I am running Koha 22.11.03.000 Rosalie on AlmaLinux 9.1. Staging a MARC file for import gets stuck at 0%. On screen, I am able to select the file for import (bib.mrc), review the profile options (but I don't change any defaults), and then click on "Stage for import" at the bottom. Next screen reads: The job has been enqueued! It will be processed as soon as possible. 0% View detail of the enqueued job After a few seconds, it changes to (and then hangs at): The job has been enqueued! It will be processed as soon as possible. 0% Not started View detail of the enqueued job Clicking on "View detail of the enqueued job" I see: Details of job #22 Job ID: 22 Status: New Progress: 0 / 0 Type: Staged MARC records for import Queued: 03/02/2023 05:42 Started: Ended: Report Detailed messages Return to the job list The corresponding entry in mariadb is: id 22 status new progress NULL size 0 borrowernumber 1 type stage_marc_for_import queue Name of the queue the job is sent to long_tasks data {"encoding":"UTF-8","comments":"","basket_id":null... context JSON-serialized context information for the job {"flags":1,"branch":"ALMA","interface":"intranet",... enqueued_on 2023-03-02 05:42:33 started_on NULL ended_on NULL (If you need to see the full entries for "data" and "context", please let me know.) tmp, koha_upload, and lock directories have been tweaked and fine tuned. I was getting early warnings about them not being set in koha-conf.xml so I created them (and set correct permissions) and I can see the uploaded file (for job 22 the name is 2287629673fb980ad4102f62ebeaa1b9_bib.mrc), so the actual upload function appears to be working. I am getting no apache errors and no other on-screen diagnostics. I have Koha 22.05.02.000 running on Arch Linux that imports this file just fine. Similarly, I have Koha latest running on a Debian VM that can import this file just fine, too. What am I missing?

Question on keyword index for 084
by Bruns, Anke 08 May '23

08 May '23

Hi, according to https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/How_to_add_new_zebra_index I created a new index for the local classification of my library which is in 084. I tried to set this index up for word search and for phrase search. Now I find that only the phrase search works fine, but the word search doesn't. It simply doesn't find the words from the 084 entries. My assumption is that this might be due to the fact that 084$a is linked to an authorized value, and only the value itself is searched, but not the authorized value's description. How can I make the description of the authorized value searchable as a word search?

Microsoft Outlook email configuration with Koha
by Shiva Kumara 05 May '23

05 May '23

Hi Koha Community Members, We have installed (package) Koha 22.05 on Ubuntu 22.04. We configured email agent exim4 with Outlook to send notices from Koha. Koha reporting circulation transactions details email status sent. But the patron has not received any email from Koha. We also tried Koha's inbuilt SMTP Servers methods in the administration module. None of the above options worked for us. Kindly help us to integrate Microsoft Outlook email with Koha. We appreciate your support in advance. Thank you -- ***With Regards*** Shivakumara RM Digital Library Analyst Institute for Social and Economic Change Dr. VKRV Rao Road, Nagarabhavi, Bangalore - 560 072 <https://sites.google.com/site/shivakumararm/>

by Perl Koha 04 May '23

04 May '23

*TL;DR :* 1. There's only one week left before our call for talks closes on April 30th. Don't hesitate to submit your draft ideas or works in progress here: ➡️ CALL FOR TALKS SUBMISSION PAGE: perlkohacon.fi/cft <https://perlkohacon.fi/Call-For-Talks-Perl-Koha-Helsinki-August-2023.html> 2. The Perl and Koha Conference in Helsinki will happen from 📅 *August 14th to 18th, 2023* More hints on this soon! 3. Track our social channels (we prefer Telegram): - *t*.me/PerlKohaCon <http://t.me/PerlKohaCon> - *Facebook*.com/PerlKohaCon <http://facebook.com/PerlKohaCon> - *Twitter*.com/PerlKohaCon <http://twitter.com/PerlKohaCon> - *Instagram*.com/PerlKohaCon <http://instagram.com/PerlKohaCon> - *LinkedIn*.com/showcase/PerlKohaCon <http://linkedin.com/showcase/PerlKohaCon> - (Mastodon) *Fosstodon*.org/@perlkohacon <http://fosstodon.org/@perlkohacon> ... and share the link to this message you are reading among your friendly bubble. 🤗 We need more interesting talks, we need more attendees, and you. *LONG VERSION, with some fun and suspense:* We're inspired to bring you the "Perl and Koha Conference in Helsinki" (also known as KohaCon with YAPC::Europe/PerlCon) taking place from 📅 August 14th to 18th, 2023. The conference will feature three days of talk streams (August 14th to 16th) and two additional days of workshops and special meetings (August 17th to 18th). Among all the usual things you know about KohaCon, this time, we have a unique event that gives an opportunity for the Koha and Perl communities to unite, exchange insights, and forge (unwind together!) new connections. As a valued member of the Koha community of all of you, we need your expertise! 🌟 We also need your help to present Koha to the Perl community in the best possible way, as Koha could become the flagship product for the Perl community. To make that happen, we need to unite, present ourselves, and share all the ideas we can come up with! (By the way, you can propose ideas through our channels or by reaching out directly to the main organizer, Andrii, at nugged(a)gmail.com) There's only one week left before our call for talks closes on April 30th. Don't hesitate to submit your draft ideas or works in progress here: ➡️ CALL FOR TALKS SUBMISSION PAGE: perlkohacon.fi/cft <https://perlkohacon.fi/Call-For-Talks-Perl-Koha-Helsinki-August-2023.html> After you make a placeholder for a talk (i.e. send the form), we will know this, and confirm with you later, and this will help us to select the best talks, make the conference most interesting and useful, and plan our schedule. Afterward, you can progress with your talk development further, this means no need to have the talk ready in one week, so no panic. No-panic more: if you want, you can talk to our dedicated team, who is ready to help you refine your talk and provide guidance if needed. Reach out to us at perlkohacon(a)gmail.com 💌. If you have experience in Koha or around, but no experience in stage-action: we value first more, so we'll try to cover your back! Mind that talk is only one part of the reason and only ignition point to share your experience: you might find mates and interested people after your presentation, so that might be just the beginning of something greater! We will talk all about expansion, improvement, and experience exchange, and these are engaging topics for your talk (but keep your experience in priority of anything below): Best practices, tips, hacks, and challenges in using Koha in the library Koha software development, including integrations with other systems The future of BIBFRAME, MARC, and Linked Open Data in Koha Features needed for Koha to become more capable, which the Perl community can contribute to, such as ILL, ERM, and others Upcoming or requested Koha feature developments: proposals, progress, and collaboration opportunities As this will be an event with many IT professionals and developers from the Perl community, we will also cover geekier and dev-related topics. However, we will have one separate stream fully dedicated to libraries (usage, pro-tips, and KohaCon-related topics). You will meet library and Koha experts from 🇫🇮Finland, a country that has already switched hundreds of libraries to Koha, as well as experts from ByWater Solutions, BibLibre, PTFS Europe, Koha-and-library IT-topic activists from France, Germany, Sweden, and more. Even from Ukraine (consider there will be something special about this). This conference is an excellent opportunity to make meaningful connections with the Perl community and explore how these relationships can benefit the Koha community! 🤝 Don't forget, August is an ideal time for a summer vacation in Helsinki with your family. ☀️ Extend your stay over the weekends to experience the city's culture and attractions while attending the conference. We will have a partners program and more coordinated activities (might be even sponsored, but we need more participants and attendees to make that happen!). Stay connected by following us on social media, there, we will publish more and announce things that we will have these weeks soon before the conference (yes, something gifty or nifty is planned). We'll target as main social channel Telegram one: - t.me/PerlKohaCon and encourage you to use this geeky, fast, and comfortable groups, channels, and messaging platform. But feel free to join us on any of these platforms for news and updates: - Facebook.com/PerlKohaCon <http://facebook.com/PerlKohaCon> - Twitter.com/PerlKohaCon <http://twitter.com/PerlKohaCon> - Instagram.com/PerlKohaCon <http://instagram.com/PerlKohaCon> - LinkedIn.com/showcase/PerlKohaCon <http://linkedin.com/showcase/PerlKohaCon> - (Mastodon) Fosstodon.org/@perlkohacon <http://fosstodon.org/@perlkohacon> Feel free to use the platform where you have the most connections to share and spread the word! *🙏 "Kiitos" - this means "Thank you" in Finnish.* Btw, and sounds as it reads, no fine prints! Please share this message with colleagues and friends who might be interested in presenting at the conference or attending. Together, let's make this event a significant and enriching experience for both the Koha and Perl communities! 🚀 ... and we look forward to seeing you in Helsinki! Warm regards, The Perl and Koha Conference Organizing Team === Andrii and the National Library of Finland Koha team!
