Biblio_metadata timestamps updating for no reason?
by Bales (US), Tasha R 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

Good morning, I’m seeing updated timestamps in biblio_metadata and I can’t figure out why. I’m working on a test system where no updates are taking place, and I am not running any jobs to link authorities to bib records, or any other jobs that should be updating records. What could be causing biblio_metadata timestamps to be updated? For example, I see 200 records updated in the last 30 minutes, and in the Modification Logs for those records, I don’t see any recent logged actions. I’m trying to implement a process that depends on timestamps, and this is throwing me off. I’ve used the “ps aux” and “ps aux | koha” command several times, but don’t see anything obvious, though I might not know what to look for. If you have any ideas, thank you in advance! 😊 Tasha Bales Enterprise Services http://isesi.web.boeing.com/

Re: [Koha] ElasticSearch and Multiple Reindexing Failures

Hello, Aleisha! In our latest exchange, on 7 Mar 2022 at 08:00 [JST], I received the following from you through the Koha discussion group: The correct query to rebuild the index is: > > sudo koha-elasticsearch --rebuild -d -v library > > Looks like you were close, just missing the --rebuild flag! > > -d drops the current indexes which is why nothing is showing for you now. > > Hope that helps! > I'm afraid it did not. I see the same errors that I reported on 4 March 2022. Besides, I had included --rebuild in various attempts, and I forgot to include such inclusion in last week's report. Unable to resolve host ... > There were errors during indexing. > Use of uninitialized value $sub6 in pattern match ... > Well, we're moving to a new server. Perhaps recreating the entire database from scratch with this version, reloading the bibliographic and authority records, circulation tables, etc. will resolve whatever errors that make this version barely usable. I even tried decommissioning ElasticSearch and installing it anew, but that did nothing but confuse the poor OS about ElasticSearch's location, especially the headers. Now it asks for JAVA_HEADER. Thanks anyhow. -- よろしくお願いします。 -- Charles.

ElasticSearch and Multiple Reindexing Failures
by Charles Kelley 06 Mar '22

06 Mar '22

All, I am preparing my library's catalog for a move to a new server this summer. I have been correcting cataloging errors en masse, and uploading them into the catalog through Tools -> Stage MARC Records for Import. The records upload and I can call them up through clicking on the record number link and I can find through a catalog search. I can also download the records through Tools -> Export Data. However, I can find NOTHING through Authorities -> Search Authorities. It doesn't matter how I search: Default, Personal Name, etc. NOTHING turns up. I have reindexed the entire database through > koha-elasticsearch -d -v library but again NOTHING turns up when I search in Koha. Throughout the reindexing process, I see errors like Unable to resolve host ... There were errors during indexing. Use of uninitialized value $sub6 in patter match ... Nonetheless, it seems to proceed to index. Yesterday, the entire database vanished. (This morning, I opened under the previous day's clone.) What is going on with this database? Is there a way to fix this? I cannot understand what I do wrong because it happens almost every day. I would appreciate an answer. Running Koha ILS v. 20.05 on Debian 9 "Stretch". Thanks. -- よろしくお願いします。 -- Charles.

urgent help with KOHA install
by David Lesniaski 04 Mar '22

04 Mar '22

Well, everything went fine as I set up a new library ... until I got to the final step. After completing the onboarding tool, I was sent to the staff login. I used the superlibrarian username and password I set up during the onboarding process ... and got the error message "invalid username or password." Yet ... I typed in the same username and password I set up during the install. What do I do now? How do I finish this process and get access to the staff interface? this is for a class project .. so time is of the essence, as they say. I have the listserv set for a digest, so if you ALSO could reply to me directly that would save a day. Many thanks for your wisdom! -- David Dr. David Lesniaski Associate Professor MLIS Program St. Catherine University 2004 Randolph Ave. #4125 St. Paul, MN 55105 dalesnaski(a)stkate.edu he, him, his

C4::Heading::MARC21
by Thomas Klausner 03 Mar '22

03 Mar '22

Hi! A few days ago I asked this in IRC, but got no response, so I'm trying here: I have a question regarding C4::Heading::MARC21: https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/master/C4/Heading/MARC21.pm#L49 and #167 define some hardcoded mappings which subfields to include/display eg in the popup window when selecting an authority. But we have some data needed to properly identify the correct auth in a subfield that is not included in this mapping (i.e. 150g). Would you accept additions to these mapping in upstream? Or do we have to patch our local instance? Or could these mapping be moved into some config files? Greetings, domm -- #!/usr/bin/perl https://domm.plix.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}

Hello
by Ms. Naveen Ali 03 Mar '22

03 Mar '22

Hello, This is Naveen from Pakistan. I work at a Public Sector Higher Education University and am trying to implement KOHA. We have been using in house developed LIS. However it needed upgrade and KOHA seems a good next step as many of our requirements have been implemented and tested. I am currently analyzing what policy and functional changes are required for koha implementation. I have found out so far that majority of functions are adaptable. However need some minor customization and am looking into plug ins which I believe are the way to go. With thanks and best regards, Naveen.
