by GPage 14 Apr '09

Anyone got a set of instructions for getting Koha 3 up and running on Mac OS X Server (10.5.6)? All of the instructions I have been able to locate are for a) an older version of OS X and b) a much older version of Koha (2.2.5) TIA, GPage gpage(a)tandj.net

Linking biblios to authorities
by Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

Hi,we are migrating a library that have some 60.000 records and 25.000 authorities. The import of the biblios and authorities works fine, but... we need to link them. Up to now the procedure we follow is to import the authorities, dump the data to find out which "authid" koha assigned to each one, then scan the xml o marcedit file of the biblio data, putting on any matching field a $9 subfield with the corresponding "authid". Then we import this data and all is done, works fine. What wonders me is why is not working the script "/usr/share/koha/bin/link_bibs_to_authorities.pl"? When we run it, all we obtained is the removal of the links to authorities that we have! An inspection of the file shows that it use the procedure LinkBibHeadingsToAuthorities() from C4/Biblio.pm. In that file the following line my $authorities = $heading->authorities(); gives a null result and that explains the removal of my links (following the algorithm). Inspecting C4/Heading.pm we found that the line to find matching authorities is my ($error, $results, $total_hits) = SimpleSearch( $query, undef, undef, [ "authorityserver" ] ); which in turn guides us to C4/Search.pm (implementation of SimpleSearch), in which there is this line $zoom_queries[$i] = new ZOOM::Query::CCL2RPN( $query, $zconns[$i]); Now, the authorities search in opac and staff interfaces (which give correct results!) use a different procedure for the query in C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm my $Anewq= new ZOOM::Query::PQF($query,$oAuth[0]); Then I read a little about the difference between PQF and CCL queries, and I must confess... I am lost. The only I know is that one kind of query gives results and the other no. Then my questions to the list: 1) Have any of you been able to make the former script work properly? And how? 2) Is there a procedure to make CCL queries works, if that is the reason? Perhaps tweaking koha-conf.xml? 3) It's a problem with the configuration of the zebra server? 4) Have you know of any other "automatic" procedure to do the job? We are using Koha 3.01.00.014 on Ubuntu 8.04. The last git checkout (3.01.00.018) changes several files but no the previous lines . Cheers, bgk

Hi. Since I'm paying for this on my own dime, I'd like to save some money. Anyone want to share a room? I've got a reservation already, but thought I'd see if anyone wanted to stay in the Holiday Inn Express at the KohaCon rate divided by 2. Thanx.

Vendor Marc Records into Koha 3.0
by Marie Wardall 13 Apr '09

13 Apr '09

Hi All- I'm pretty sure of the answer for this question but must post it to satisfy others. Will MARC records from Baker & Taylor import into Koha without any problems? We were having problems with importing Follett records in and have a fix that works for now although it may be affecting imports from other vendors. My guess is that yes, Baker & Taylor records will import into Koha as long as the Marc Specs have been changed to meet the Koha 3.0 requirements. Please let me know if you have imported records from Baker & Taylor and if it works or not. Thanks, Marie Marie J.
