Koha 20.05 error rebuilding Zebra biblio indices
by Curt & Penny Murley 07 Nov '22

07 Nov '22

Hi Koha Discussion List, Introduction ============ My name is Curt Murley and I provide tech support for a small public library in Casco, ME USA. We are a long time Koha user starting with Koha 2.2 in 2007. Environment =========== Our production server is running Koha 20.05.18 installed from a Debian package on Debian Stretch. I have set up a new backup server running Debian Buster using the 20.05.x Debian package and loaded it using a mysqldump from the production server. With the exception of catalog searches the backup server seems to run fine, however the catalog cannot be searched. Problem ======= When I try to rebuild the zebra indices using #/sbin/koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v -b cpl (cpl is the instance name) I get the following error and of course the Zebra biblios indices are not rebuilt. I get the same error for authorities but the authorities indices are rebuilt. Error ===== Zebra configuration information ================================ Zebra biblio directory = /var/lib/koha/cpl/biblios Zebra authorities directory = /var/lib/koha/cpl/authorities Koha directory = /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin Lockfile = /var/lock/koha/cpl/rebuild/rebuild..LCK Use of uninitialized value $biblionumbertagfield in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 219. Use of uninitialized value $biblionumbertagsubfield in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 219. BIBLIONUMBER in : $ Use of uninitialized value $biblioitemnumbertagfield in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 220. Use of uninitialized value $biblioitemnumbertagsubfield in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 220. BIBLIOITEMNUMBER in : $ ================================ Then for every biblionumber exported the following error occurs: error retrieving biblio N at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/ rebuild_zebra.pl line 681 Additional Information ====================== 1) I have checked that both kohafield='biblio.biblionumber' and kohafield='biblioitems.biblioitemnumber' have the correct values in the marc_subfield_structure table for all the framework codes in the cpl instance, i.e. 999c and 999d. 2) I have checked the cpl Koha logs in /var/log/koha/cpl and found nothing that will help me solve this problem. Question ======== Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Whenever adding an item record, I have started getting a blank table after saving the record. No headers on the table or data or anything. Is this a common issue and is there a solution? I have added a screenshot of an example from my screen. Mathew B. Wood

Request for Libraries using Koha to participate in the 2021 Library Automation Perceptions survey
by Marshall Breeding 03 Nov '22

03 Nov '22

To all libraries using Koha: I'm collecting data for the 2021 edition of the International Library Automation Perceptions survey. This survey, conducted annually since 2007, provides an opportunity for libraries to register their perceptions of the strategic automation products they use, organizations that provide these products, and the quality of support delivered. The survey also probes at considerations for migrating to new systems and the level of interest in open source products. As open source software supported both by the general community and by a variety of different service organizations, some special considerations apply to Koha. In the libraries.org directory, Koha is represented by a combination of the name Koha and the primary support organization involved. (For example Koha - Catalyst IT, Koha -- ByWater Solutions). Libraries relying entirely on community support or internal resources are represented as Koha - Independent. If there are any special support arrangements not covered by these conventions, just mention that in the comments area of the survey. In this way the survey will be able to reflect both the functionality of the Koha software and the quality of support provided. This model of representing libraries using Koha isn't perfect, but is a pragmatic approach that aggregates all users of Koha while also segregating the different support scenarios. Participation in this survey will help amplify the visibility of Koha among those interested in library automation. While the numeric rating scales support the statistical results of the study, it's the comments offered that provide the most insight into the current state of library automation satisfaction. Comments will be published in the survey results, redacted to conceal text that might identify the individual or organization responding. The raw data for the survey will not be shared, but reports are available that provide a variety of ways to view results. Please help your fellow librarians who might be in the process of evaluating library automation options by responding to the survey. Any information regarding vendor performance and product quality can be helpful when making strategic decisions regarding automation alternatives. A large number of responses strengthen the impact of the survey and the subsequent report. If you have responded in previous years, please respond again this year to help identify any trends regarding improvement or worsening of the products or support services. For more information about the survey, for instructions on how to participate, and to see results of previous year's survey reports, see: https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2021/invite/ I hope that all libraries using Koha will respond. Feel free to forward this request to any other library-related list. You can view the report summarizing the results of last year's survey, including data from all previous editions, here: https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2020/ Please let me know if there are any questions regarding the survey.
