Followup on Z3950 daemon
by ICINZ 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

OK, it seems there was something with the permissions of the daemon because I've got it up and running and downloading records now. My next question is how do I switch on the LOC "function". I've never had much success with re-mapping MARC fields to Koha fields even following previous posts about the subject related to ver 2.0 to the letter. If I look at the raw tables I can see the records in the breeding farm table and that the LOC call number is in their but I can't seem to get it to drop it into anywhere let alone display. When I look at the biblioitems table there is nothing in the classification field. There must one little thing that I'm doing wrong.

Z3950 daemon on Koha 2.1
by ICINZ 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

Hi there, I've upgraded to 2.1 to check out the extra LOC support. Needed to install LDAP extensions for Perl but figured that out easy enough. The problem I have now is the Z3950 daemon cans out. The error log gives the following information : Global symbol "$context" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 107 Global symbol "$context" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 108 Global symbol "$context" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 109 Global symbol "$context" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 110 Global symbol "$context" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 111 Global symbol "$context" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 187 Global symbol "$context" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 188 Global symbol "$context" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 189 Global symbol "$context" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 190 Global symbol "$context" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 191 Execution of /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950quese aborted due to compilation errors As far as I can work out from looking at the script it is not getting the information required to interact with MySql, etc. Is a matter of adding an "EXPORT" command so that the path to the koha config file is there? This is at the limit if not beyond my abilities so any pointers would be gratefull accepted.

Cannot add Item - server error
by Thomas Bøge 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

I am trying to test, if Koha can work for us. We have imported the Danmarc2 format instead of marc21, and after some work with the Koha db- Marc linking, the Marc Check is finally OK. BUT: Adding the Biblio seems to be OK - but when I after the Biblio is added is transfered to the "New Item" screen, there is a failure when I press "Add Item" The browser changes its url to http://admin.koha.boegenielsen.dk/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/additem.pl and responds with a 500-error "Internal Server Error". The koha-error-log: [Thu Aug 5 16:28:11 2004] [error] [client 194.192.135.47] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/acqui.simple/additem.pl Fields below 010 do not have subfields at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Biblio.pm line 909 [Thu Aug 5 16:29:41 2004] [error] [client 194.192.135.47] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/acqui.simple/additem.pl /Thomas Bøge

Problems with subject searching
by Michael Watson 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

I am working with Koha 2.0.0. Subject searching doesn't seem to be working. When I try an "Advanced Search->Search on Subject" in the opac, I get zero retrieval, even when I know for certain that I've created items in the catalog with that subject. I'm wondering if the problem is that I need to define mappings in parameters->links koha MARC Db. I see a message there saying that if I change the link between a MARC subfield and a non-MARC field, I need to run the misc/rebuildnonmarc.pl script. But when I try to do that, I get an error message that says that the script can't locate C4/Content.pm in @INC (error message follows). ./rebuildnonmarc.pl Can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/ i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/ i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/ site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/ perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at ./rebuildnonmarc.pl line 10. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./rebuildnonmarc.pl line 10. I know the location of the C4 directory, which does contain a Context.pm. This seems like some kind of path error--the directory containing this module evidently isn't stored in @INC. I tried pushing it there by adding a line to readuilbnonmarc.pl, but that didn't work. Does anyone know what the problem might be? For what it's worth, I've run into some path problems previously with Koha on SuSE Linux 9.0 professional. Mike Watson

importing, marc mapping, progress
by Scott Scriven 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Hello. I've been slowly building a path to migrate data from various data sources into koha, and am now at the point where I want to improve the translation. My process so far is this: I'm dumping data to MODS format, and converting to MARC XML with some LoC stylesheets. After that, I can convert to binary MARC with the perl MARC::File::XML package, and import into Koha with its bulk import script. I've had to modify the LoC stylesheets somewhat, and will need to modify them more, but otherwise the existing tools have worked okay. I've noticed a bit of data loss going into Koha. For example, I can't find the series title anywhere, even though it's in the marc database as field 440a, and is mapped to biblio.seriestitle. It seems to work during searches, but is never displayed. Is this a template problem? If possible, I'd also like to populate the koha inventory during import. Can I set a 9xx field to indicate the number of items in stock, and create other similar koha-specific data that way? There are also various other data fields I'm not sure where to put. Bibliographic data about authors, short book review blurbs, awards each book has won, text from the back of the book, type of material (novel, screenplay, poem, etc: not the regular MARC types), genre, urls for books/authors/series, author pseudonyms, quotes from books/authors/series, and a few others. Any idea how to fit these into MARC? -- Scott

Re: [Koha] modifying tags

Tuesday, August 10, 2004 00:22 CDT Hi, Eric, > From: "Eric G. Salayon" <esalayon(a)tip.edu.ph> > Date: 2004/08/09 Mon PM 09:23:02 CDT > To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz > Subject: [Koha] modifying tags > > in modifying tags (MARC tag structures), what is meant by > Repeatable, Mandatory ... "Repeatable" means that the tag can occur more than once in a given record, as prescribed by MARC Bibliographic standards. "Mandatory" means that the tag MUST be in the record, that it cannot be left out (although, from somethings I have been told recently, that may not be strictly true as far as Koha is concerned, it is true from the requirements of validity in MARC standards). > and [what is meant by] Authorised value? i assumed that > authorised value are derived from data in the system > parameter, am i correct? IIRC, from the default values that one specifies in Parameters. Hope this helps a bit. Steven F. Baljkas library tech at large Koha neophyte Winnipeg, MB, Canada

where is my dewey decimal number?
by Nicole Hatch 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Hello Koha, We recently installed Koha 2.0, and now I am trying to catalogue our small collection. I followed Brooke's Newbie Guide step by step, and I think I have done everything correctly. But when I search for a record in the user OPAC, the dewey decimal number does not show up. This is what I'm getting ISBN: 3787314431 <http://opac.ecla.int/cgi-bin/koha/opac-searchresults.pl?isbn=3787314431 > Author: Kant, Immanuel, <http://opac.ecla.int/cgi-bin/koha/opac-searchresults.pl?author=Kant%2C% 20Immanuel%2C> Published by :Meiner, in 1999 , xxxix, 126 p. ; , 19 cm. Year : 1999 Dewey: 0.000000 <http://opac.ecla.int/cgi-bin/koha/opac-searchresults.pl?type=opac&dewey =0.000000> LCCN: 00298159 Total Number of Items: 2 What am I doing wrong? Also, is there any way to get a full-record search result? I should probably mention that although "Librarian" is part of my job title, I do not have my MSLS. ECLA is a very small institution, and I was basically handed the library project because I was the only administrator with any library experience.
