500 errors in staff mode and forcing a database update
by Fairlamb, Christina 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Hello all, We've had these issues since at least Koha 21.11 but are now on 22.05. Some links on the koha staff page result in a 500 error. Checking the plack-error.log, these are the lines linking to the page I was trying to access: *EDI accounts* DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::_dbh_execute(): DBI Exception: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Unknown column 'me.responses_enabled' in 'field list' at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/admin/edi_accounts.pl line 110 *Library EANs* DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::_dbh_execute(): DBI Exception: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Unknown column 'me.ee_id' in 'field list' at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/admin/edi_ean_accounts.pl line 93 We also still have the Patron relationship problems issue in this bug: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24263, which should have been fixed during past upgrades. (values have been used for guarantee/guarantor relationships, but do not exist in the 'borrowerRelationship') It seems as though our database schema is not updating fully during our latest koha upgrades. I've tried to run the Manual schema upgrade which results in this message only: DEV atomic update /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/installer/data/mysql/atomicupdate/ bug_30899.pl [07:15:11]: Bug 30899 - Check borrower_attribute_types FK constraint (30449 follow-up) Which, according to this bug report: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30899 - is a none issue and means the schema is up to date. Is there a way to force a schema update to go through all updates since a specific koha version? Christina

Accessing DNB databases via SRU and HTTPS
by Michael Kuhn 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

Hi We had a working Koha configuration to access the database of the German national library (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek / DNB) via SRU and HTTP. But since 19 July requests using the HTTP-protocol will be redirected to the HTTPS-protocol by "HTTP-Statuscode 301 Moved Permanently" (see https://lists.dnb.de/pipermail/ons-sru-ru/2022-July/000015.html) The search via HTTPS is working via yaz-client: # yaz-client https://services.dnb.de/sru/dnb Z> sru GET 1.1 Z> find "Marx" Z> s 1 So in our Koha configuration we changed port 80 to port 443 - but when searching anything Koha immediately (apparently without really searching) returns "Nothing found". It's is the same with both databases "sru/dnb" (bibliographic data) and "sru/authorities" (authorities). Has anyone been successful recently when trying to access the DNB databases via SRU and HTTPS?

Hi Anke Thank you very much! You wrote: > our config still works well - see screenshot. We have exactly the same configuration - but when trying to access we are getting the following error message: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request Reason: Error reading from remote server I tested the same configuration on my demo installation https://koha.adminkuhn.ch - there it works well. The demo installation is directly in the internet with no (outgoing) firewalls involved. > Changing 80 to 443 doesn't help - the SRU search doesn't work anymore > with that setting. Changing 80 to 443 didn't help either on my demo installation. Thus I think this is a problem of the local firewall of our library that doesn't like the redirect from port 80 to 443. It will have to be solved locally. Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.

500 Errors on search after update
by Keith Sorbo 25 Jul '22

25 Jul '22

After upgrading to the latest (22.05.02.000), I am getting 500 errors when a search should return a biblio entry. This happens on the OPAC and when I do a search under the cataloging section in the staff site. I am able to search for patrons with no apparent problem.(I did have quite a bit of trouble updating my database) I ran rebuild zebra and it made no difference. How do I detect what is causing this problem?

Electronic resource management module (ERM) in Koha - quick update
by Jonathan Druart 25 Jul '22

25 Jul '22

Hi, I have been working during the last months on implementing a first version of what could be an ERM module in Koha. To help getting feedback from end-users we have created a sandbox that has the latest version of the code: https://staff-erm.sandboxes.biblibre.eu/cgi-bin/koha/erm/erm.pl For developers who would like to read the code and help get them onboard, an entry point page has been written with some details about the implementation: https://tree.taiga.io/project/joubu-koha-erm/wiki/home The code is available at https://gitlab.com/joubu/Koha/-/commits/erm An overview of the current state of the development can be found on this kanban board: https://tree.taiga.io/project/joubu-koha-erm/kanban Any feedback, ideas, contributions are greatly welcomed! Regards, Jonathan

Koha 22.05: Where has the columns setting for the patrons list gone?
by Bruns, Anke 25 Jul '22

25 Jul '22

Hi, a minor problem but nonetheless...: In version 20.11 we had the possibility to choose in the staff client which columns from the patron record we wanted to display in the patrons short list. There was a "Columns" button next to the "Export" one. This option seems to have gone with one of the more recent versions (we upgraded directly from 20.11 to 22.05, so no idea when exactly this was the case). Instead there is a "Clear filter" button now. Is there any chance to get the choice of columns option back? E.g. we do not need or want to display the Date of Birth column which isn't populated in our case.
