Re: [Koha] Migration from 2.2.5 to 3.4 - call numbers and item update
by Peter Thompson 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Thanks to Everyone who replied - the system is now coming together . I upgraded to 3.00 and imported the database, and followed the processes outlined in the http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Upgrading_2.2 document. I have two remaining issues: In the Mysql database (prior to running any scripts etc), the call numbers seemed to be in the 082 field, judging by the contents of the `tag` and `subfieldvalue` fields of the `marc_subfield_tag' file, not in the `itemcallnumber` field of the `items` file. After running the process detailed in the upgrade document, the call numbers dont' appear in the catalogue. They seem to have been moved to a file ' temp_upg_biblioitems_call_num. Any advice on how I can get these call numbers indexed properly? Also, when I try to add an item, the process fails with an error. In the error log, it refers to the record wrapper missing at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/MARC/file/XML.pm. Thanks again, Peter Thompson Whenever I add an item Peter Thompson Database Administrator Information Technology & Communications Unit

Koha in Museums
by Sue McMillan 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Hello, I am wondering of any museums use Koha to catalogue their collections (non book). If so, is the original catalogue work undertaken in a different programme (not using MARC)? Any help would be appreciated.

Key Dates for 3.6.0
by Chris Cormack 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

We are rapidly closing in on the 3.6.0 release, so I thought it would be good remind everyone of the key dates. * Feature freeze – 22 September 23:59 UTC – From this point on, no new features will be considered for inclusion into 3.6.0 * String freeze – 8 October 23:59 UTC – no bugs that change templates accepted after this point. This allows the translators to translate without things changing on them * Translations finished 18 October 23:59 UTC – Translations submitted, so that they can be tested before release * Release 22 October Chris -- Chris Cormack Catalyst IT Ltd. +64 4 803 2238 PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington 6142, New Zealand

Re: [Koha] Upgrade from package (3.02.09 to 3.04.03)

Most often you see it when the package has been manually held for some reason, although I expect that you'd know if that were the case. The other is that that apt is uncomfortable about installing the new dependencies. If this is the case, try: aptitude upgrade which will usually ask you about them (although I would have expected apt to do this also), or: apt-get dist-upgrade which tells apt that you're OK with it making slightly bigger changes. You could also try: apt-get install koha-common which may force it to override the holding. Let me know how you get on. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204

Re: [Koha] Upgrade from package (3.02.09 to 3.04.03)
by Robin Sheat 20 Aug '11

20 Aug '11

Hi, it should be pretty straightforward, although test it on a test server first, just to be safe. Also make a backup of your database (sudo koha-dump libraryname.) Then just do a normal package upgrade. It will pop up a message telling you to run 'koha-upgrade-to-3.4'. When it's installed, run that. It may take a while depending on the number of items you have. Once that's done, you're upgraded.
