Thanks for all your reply mails. I have not installed zebra out of time limit constraint, i added the marc records.(thanks to Mr.krishnan) with different book formats, which asks for limited entries. Many thanks to vimal , resolved my doubts. I had launched the app, woking on it. Mails are not sent on checkout,checkin,hold filed. 1.I have created the patron. and login as opac user UI , now selected Mymessaging menu and checked Email checkbox against ItemDue,ItemCheckout,HoldFilled,Item Checkin,Advance notice. When I login in the staff client UI, and check out /checkin a specific book for the patron i have created and enabled the email checkbox. Mail is not delivered. won't it be triggered at once . Is there any configuration i need to add. Admin - Tools - Menu There is only Rules for Rules for overdue actions:

Re: [Koha] override renewal limit for circulation staff

Thanks Jolanta! :) But the problem for us is that most of our books, does not have an item type at all! So i can't change the specifications of an item type... And I think that must be part of the problem.

Koha Z39.50 question
by Joe Thornton 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Thanks very much to those of you who helped me with my previous questions about Koha and Z39.50. Before I give up trying to make our old Z39.50 client work with Koha I have one more question: Is it possible to force the Koha Z39.50 server to send records in USMARC instead of MARC21? Thanks, Joe Thornton IT Consultant Capital District Library Council 28 Essex Street Albany, NY 12206 518-437-9880 x230 Koha version: 3.00.01.005 OS version: Linux koha 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 2009 i686 GNU/Linux Perl version: 5.010000 MySQL version: mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.51a Apache version: Server version: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) Zebra version: Zebra 2.0.37

as_usmarc error / biblio encoding
by Rachel Hollis 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Greetings colleagues, yesterday I found a biblio record through Z39.50. It was for the e-book version (GMD "electronic resource") and I had the print version in hand. It had a the expected extra fixed fields and while I was at it, I checked the 000/leader. There I found that the encoding/position 9 stated UCS/Unicode. I'm fairly certain that we are using MARC-8/MARC21/USMARC. Could this be the reason we are seeing "Error: Can't call method "as_usmarc" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 2126" when searching the catalog? We load records through Z39.50 and Stage MARC Records for Import (bulkmarcimport?). Our zebra rebuild is set up on a cron job. We have deleted items and records as well as reverted imports. Among the terms that we receive errors on while searching are "resumes", which has diacritics and "atlas" or "germs", which do not have diacritics. I read somewhere that this error may have something to do with the biblio favor of we use and until yesterday was fairly certain that all our records were coming in as MARC21 using the import tool and MARC-8/USMARC with Z39.50. What does this error mean and more importantly, is it possible to correct the situation? We are running Koha version 3.01 on Debian.

Re: [Koha] [was: Holds]
by Cab Vinton 16 Jul '09

2009/7/16 Joe Atzberger <ohiocore(a)gmail.com>: > in the future I think it we will be less permissive > about allowing the appearance of features to persist in the software with no > code to back it up. I would strongly recommend that NO features w/ code lacking be added to the software. Vaporware merely confuses and annoys people. Deprecated features are probably another matter. That said, Koha's model for identifying, prioritizing, & sponsoring development of new/ improved features could probably use some tweaking.

Holds
by Cab Vinton 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

A few questions about handling holds in v.3.01.00.032. It appears that there's no way to get a list of holds to be pulled emailed automatically, i.e., staff need to run the "Holds to pull" report manually on a regular basis. Is this correct? What should happen next? The report says "The following holds have not been filled. Please retrieve them and check them in." What does "check in" mean here? We shouldn't check the material out to the patron as s/he won't have it in hand yet. The OPAC updates the item's status to "On hold", so that's taken care of, but patrons have no indication of how many patrons are ahead of them in the queue. Is this a new feature that others would like to see as well? Any other changes in holds management planned for v3.2? Thank you, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH
