NoZebra - Zebra
by stefan 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Dear all We had 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 running for quite a while with Zebra. All three versions made some problems with deleting, reindexing or performance. We recently switched to NoZebra. Things are working better in functionality, maintainability and performance by now. Since we do not use Koha as search interface, I can't say if Zebra is giving an advantage for (OPAC) end users. But Koha with NoZebra is still worth a try. Regards, Stefan

Problems with imported records via MarcFile created with MArcEdit
by CrEp 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hi everyone, I'm trying to import a MARC file created via MarcEdit. It is made up of 26544 records. After importing in Koha reports there are 26544 records, but when I search into catalogue I sometimes find 6444 records and other times more records. For example, when I search by title "java" I sometimes find 4 items and sometimes 5 items. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks a lot best wishes -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Problems-with-imported-records-via-MarcFile-created-w… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

From DBTextworks to Marc records
by Steph Lambert 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Good day everyone Some (possibly) helpful hints in converting DBTextworks to Marc records. Our very clever IT chap has cracked the problem I had with converting the DBTextwork file I had created (which looked fine until the Marcedit was run over it and all the fields just ran into each other)) by doing the following in Marcedit In Marc Delimited Text Translator Choose "Delimited" - comma Text qualifier - " And tick UTF-8 encoded box Then when file is converted and you reach the Marc Tools for edit : Input file C:\ (file name).csv Output file C:\(same file name).mrc And tick Translate to UTF Then execute And it should work (well, it did for me!). Also when doing the first part of the conversion I found that these Export options worked for me Record separator {CR} {LF} Field separator , Entry separator | Quote character " Store field names in first row tick box Hopefully the next step will be less fraught! regards Steph Lambert Information Services Advisor Family Planning - Positive Sexual Health 203-209 Willis Street P.O.

slow response time
by Rachel Hollis 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Greetings friends, our Koha 3 has about 5600 items and 1400 biblios; some biblios have 100s of items. We are experiencing very slow response times with transactions involving biblios with many items. We have many circulations for a day or two once a month and some titles take several minutes to check-in or out, while our patrons wait in line. According to my geek, Zebra (version 2.0.32) appears to rebuild the item index for either the entire database or the biblio (my area of fuzziness) after each transaction. Is this the way Zebra is supposed to operate? If so, is there a way to rebuild indexes overnight? If there is another solution, we'd love to hear it. We are running Koha 3.01.00.001 on Debian Etch with Zebra on a P4 beater box running right next to my desk, available only on the intranet. We use Google Chrome as our interface to Koha.

opac displaying incorrect item status
by jason sherman 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Hi all, My library recently migrated to Koha 3.0.6 from a proprietary system. Everything looks good in the staff client, but as we catalog new biblios and items they are showing up as not available in the opac. An example item shows up as available in the staff client and circulates without issue, but its status in the opac is "Not for loan". I tried setting the status to not for loan, which made the opac display its status as "Not for loan (Not for loan)". I toggled the status back, and now I'm back where I started. Any thoughts? -- Jason Sherman

952 won't upload
by Darla Grediagin 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Good morning, I have rewritten my 952 lines to match what is in Koha 3.0. I double checked that my MARC links for items are all set. When I upload a new batch of records and look at the MARC that is uploaded, there is no line 952. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

biblio reloading & zebra reindexing
by Linda Culberson 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Quick newbie question, folks. Do the zebra_daemon and/or zebraqueue_daemon need to be running or not when doing a reloading of the biblios ? How about when reindexing them? Sorry, but I'm brain-dead today, and can use all the help I can get. Thanks! -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives& History P. O.
