Problems with hidden option in the marc subfileds.
by library cdac 28 Oct '06

28 Oct '06

Hi Can anyone let me the following: 1. When you are editing the MARC subfields, in the editor constraints, there are various options out of which one of them is 'hidden'. In the 2.2.4 version it allows you to either put a tick or leave as it is. 2. But in the demo version i.e circ/liblime, when you go to biblio framework and then go to the edit marc subfields, the 'hidden' field in the editor constraint allows you to put numbers like 1, 2, -1, -5 etc. Why is it so? Also what do the numbers after 3 and negative numbers like -5, -6 signify? For eg: 1 means hidden in opac, 2 means hidden in editor. What about the remaining? thanks --trupti

Install Koha using Oracle database
by Linda R 28 Oct '06

28 Oct '06

Hi Gerrit, I came across your post from some time ago when I was trying to find out if Koha worked with Oracle. What was the outcome of your experiment? Thank you, Linda Tue Sep 25 00:11:03 NZST 2001 Hi, To see if Koha suits our needs, I am trying to install it on top of an Oracle database. So far I converted the database script and created the database and istalled Koha. Unfortunately some column names are not beeing accepted by Oracle (reserved words). These are: biblioitems->number biblioitems->size deletedbiblioitems->number deletedbiblioitems->size newitems->number users->level I have changed the names by applying the prefix c_ to them. Where in the sources do I have to change the references to these columns? Koha seems to work (at least talk to the database), allthough errors occur. If I succeed I will post the changes to the list. -- Regards, Gerrit Niestijl Revalidatiecentrum Rijndam Adriaanstichting Westersingel 300, 3015 LJ Rotterdam Postbus 23181, 3001 KD Rotterdam Tel (010) 2412439 Fax (010) 2412400 --------------------------------- Check out the New Yahoo!

Re: [Koha] import from OpenOffice Calc

Wednesday, October 25, 2006 21:47 CDT Hi, Sebastian, In quick response to your posting ... No, you would not need to export to XML first. You should be able to save your data as delimited text and use a very handy free tool called MARCEdit, available off of the Library of Congress MARC Records, Systems and Tools page, to convert it into functional MARC records. Surf to URL <http://www.loc.gov/marc/marctools.html> to find MARCEdit. I have been told by a linux user in the past that MARCEdit was stable on linux. But if not in your case, I could convert delimited text forwarded for you (although I currently do NOT have the time to do any more editing). Let me know if you need further assistance with that. N.B. for Koha, you will have to choose between UNIMARC and MARC21 (etc.) in terms of MARC flavours. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck with your data conversion and migration. Cheers, Steven F.

by Todd Wiegel 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

Ok so I am setting up a new koha install and everything is great except I cannot get the z3950 koha client to work I have tried everyting I can think of to make it work to no avail. What files should I look at within koha to see why it is failing I have DNS right I can nslookup anything I want. I can traceroute to the LOC server but everytime I try to search for a LOC number it just does nothing except look like it is in an eternal loop? Any suggestions? Any ideas?

Problem with Locations/Branches
by James Weinheimer 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

Hello, I'm trying to develop Koha for my library, and I'm very close. It's great. One of the last problems, but a major one, is that when I have a record already in Koha, and I want to change the home or holding branch, it updates it only in the marc_subfield_table and not in the items.homebranch/items.holdingbranch table. It leads to some strange displays, and this is very important for me because I place many materials into and out of our Reserves location. When I make a record from scratch, everything works fine, but it's in the update. Thanks in advance, James Weinheimer j.weinheimer(a)aur.edu Director of Library and Information Services The American University of Rome via Pietro Roselli, 4 00153 Rome, Italy voice- 011 39 06 58330919 ext. 327 fax-011 39 06 58330992

batch mode Z39.50 client
by Jochum van der Heide 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

Hi, I've just installed Koha 2.2.6 successfully on Ubuntu (6.06 LTS) and I'm trying to figure out how to migrate the 6000 records from our old DOS based library system. As our current records are pretty basic I'd like to enhance them by using Z39.50 to download MARC records from public servers. I've managed to get the Z39.50 client working using Koha's Intranet web interface but it seems this only does one biblio at the time. Is it possible to quiry a list of ISBN numbers on multiple Z39.50 servers? If this is possible, I wonder, would it then somehow still be possible to keep our current local Call-Number when using MARC records from different Z39.50 servers? All the best, -- Jochum
