Time to translate: string freeze to prepare 20.11.06 release
by Fridolin SOMERS 14 May '21

14 May '21

Hi, String freeze is into effect today 🥶 The 20.11.x maintenance branch is preparing for 20.11.06 release 📦 The release is scheduled for around the 25. This means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform: https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/ Note that nl-NL translation for 20.11 was very low, I've ask them to be reinitialized with merge of files from 19.11. Translation is now around 70%. Keep in mind that translation must be done with priority on higher version 🔥 Happy translating 🌎🌍🌏 -- Fridolin SOMERS <fridolin.somers(a)biblibre.com> Software and system maintainer 🦄 BibLibre, France

Migrating data from Zebra to Elasticsearch Koha server
by Bales (US), Tasha R 13 May '21

13 May '21

Good afternoon, I am working on implementing Koha and need to migrate to a different server. My current server is set up for Zebra, but the new server is set up for Elasticsearch. I was planning on copying the entire koha database using mysqldump and loading it to the new server. Now I'm worried that the difference in indexes will mess something up or lead to corrupt data on the new server. Because of this, I'm considering importing only specific tables, and populating the system preferences by hand. I will also reload biblios and authorities instead of importing them. Any tips or insight as to whether I am about to corrupt all my data by doing this? Thanks for your time! Tasha R.

Rotating collections - internal server error
by Isabel Pineda 13 May '21

13 May '21

Hi. I have created a rotating collection and was going to transfer it to another library. After selecting the library and pressing the button, I got this error: Software error: Can't call method "holdingbranch" on unblessed reference at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/RotatingCollections.pm line 456. Is this a bug or have I got something wrong? I am using version 20.11.05 and I remember that it used to work for me in previous versions. Thank you Isabel Pineda

Re: [Koha] ZEBRA SEARCH RETURNING "NO RESULTS MATCH YOUR SEARCH

If I understand correctly, you are running Koha 20.05 on Ubuntu 20.04. As far as I know Koha 20.05 is officially only supported for Ubuntu 18.04: * Debian 8 (Jessie) with MySQL 5.5 (End of life) * Debian 9 (Stretch) with MariaDB 10.1 * Debian 10 (Buster) with MariaDB 10.3 * Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) with MariaDB 10.1 * Debian 9 (Stretch) with MySQL 8.0 (Experimental MySQL 8.0 support) See https://koha-community.org/koha-20-05-released/ However, I would do the following: 1. Check if Zebra is really running - otherwise you won't find anything in your catalog. The following command $ ps -ef | grep zebra should show some processes like the following: hfs-koha 796 1 0 Apr15 ? 00:00:00 daemon --name=hfs-koha-zebra --pidfiles=/var/run/koha/hfs/ --errlog=/var/log/koha/hfs/zebra-error.log --output=/var/log/koha/hfs/zebra-output.log --verbose=1 --respawn --delay=30 --user=hfs-koha.hfs-koha -- /bin/zebrasrv -v none,fatal,warn -k 1024 -f /etc/koha/sites/hfs/koha-conf.xml hfs-koha 797 796 0 Apr15 ? 00:00:00 /bin/zebrasrv -v none,fatal,warn -k 1024 -f /etc/koha/sites/hfs/koha-conf.xml hfs-koha 1068 1 0 Apr15 ? 00:00:00 daemon --name=hfs-koha-indexer --errlog=/var/log/koha/hfs/indexer-error.log --stdout=/var/log/koha/hfs/indexer.log --output=/var/log/koha/hfs/indexer-output.log --pidfiles=/var/run/koha/hfs/ --verbose=1 --respawn --delay=30 --user=hfs-koha.hfs-koha -- /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -daemon -sleep 5 hfs-koha 1069 1068 0 Apr15 ? 00:01:47 /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -daemon -sleep 5 2. If Zebra is not running, start it using the following command: $ sudo koha-start-zebra After you have started Zebra, as above, check if it is really running with $ ps -ef | grep zebra 3. If you can't start Zebra check your log files: $ cd /var/log/koha/<instance> $ more zebra-error.log There are also other log files in this directory that may give you a hint. Hope this helps.

SRU Config
by Thomas Klausner 10 May '21

10 May '21

Hi! (reposting from IRC, where I got warnocked): Can somebody help me setting up a Z39.50/SRU server config? We want to query https://services.dnb.de/sru/authorities, but I don't get any results, because it seems Zoom gets a 400 error (which is not reported to the UI) I assume that dnb.de returns a 400 BAD REQUEST, but I cannot figure out what request Koha is sending (and I don't want to dust off wireshark..) What exactly do I have to configure in z3950servers.pl to make dnb.de/sru/authorities work? It currently does not work using: Hostname: services.dnb.de Port: 443 Database: /sru/authorities Syntax: MARC21 Encoding: utf8 Record Type: Authority Additional SRU options: version=1.1,operation=searchRetrieve,recordSchema=MARC21-xml SRU Search fields mapping: EMPTY I also could not find any docs on how to set up Koha to query a SRU Server for authorities. We have a working config using Z3950 to query authorities at bsz-bw.de; and a working SRU config to query dnb.de for biblios, but this one uses an account and has some "SRU search field mappings". So my current guess is that the missing "SRU search field mappings" are causing the problem. Any hits would be appreciated!
