SQL report to search for series statements and volume numbers
by Michael Kuhn 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

Hi Our library is using Debian GNU/Linux 10 and Koha 20.11. We are trying to extract the series statement (MARC 490$a) and volume numbers (MARC 490$v) from the MARCXML data. Some title data records more than one MARC 490 entry. We came up with the following SQL statement: SELECT biblionumber, ExtractValue(metadata,'//datafield[@tag="490"]/subfield[@code="a"]'), ExtractValue(metadata,'//datafield[@tag="490"]/subfield[@code="v"]') FROM biblio_metadata WHERE ExtractValue(metadata,'//datafield[@tag="490"]/subfield[@code="a"]') = <<Series statement>> ORDER BY ExtractValue(metadata,'//datafield[@tag="490"]/subfield[@code="v"]') This will only find and sort the records that have just one and only one MARC 490 entry. Even if the given series statement is in the first MARC 490 entry the record will not show up if the same record has a second MARC 490 entry. We then changed the SQL statement to: SELECT biblionumber, ExtractValue(metadata,'//datafield[@tag="490"][1]/subfield[@code="a"]'), ExtractValue(metadata,'//datafield[@tag="490"][1]/subfield[@code="v"]') FROM biblio_metadata WHERE ExtractValue(metadata,'//datafield[@tag="490"][1]/subfield[@code="a"]') = <<Series statement>> ORDER BY ExtractValue(metadata,'//datafield[@tag="490"][1]/subfield[@code="v"]') At least this will find all records that have the given series statement in the first MARC 490 entry. But it will (of course) not show or sort the records that have the given series statement in the second, third, etc MARC 490 entry. According to https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Query_MARC I understand that ExtractValue concatenates multiple tags into a single field but unfortunately I couldn't come up with a solution to our problem... Using column "seriestitle" from table "biblio" doesn't help because it behaves the same and there is no possibility to search for the volume number of the series (MARC 490$v). Can anyone please help us out? Best wishes: Michael Kuhn -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.

Serial Record Holding
by Shafrizan Affendi 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

Hi there. I would like to seek help regarding importing my serial holding into my koha. I got a holding file but i don't know how to upload it into my koha. I wish anyone here could help me do that.. I will pay for your service/consultation. Can be discussed. I did contact a few paid support services that listed in the koha site but none of them can provide a sample like I want. Most of them convert it as items linked to bibliographic records but I want to convert it to a serial control record. I will provide the file needed for testing. I do have a development cloud to do the testing. Won't mind giving access to whoever wants to try. I hope someone can help me with this problem.. do contact me through shaffendi(a)gmail.com or whatsapp +60174815354 Thank u very much.. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Cataloging Record Uploading Process Stalls -- Possible Solution
by Charles Kelley 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

Hi, all! About three months ago, my library moved its Koha ILS to a new server. The transition was not ideal but it was smooth enough. We still catalog a bit on the old laptop and last week we extracted and uploaded a bunch of records to the new server. The upload process stalled. After days of pulling out my hair -- and I'm bald -- in trying to find out why the uploading process would stall, I noticed that the 952 subfiled 7 in a few records was miscoded as a 952 subfield 9 instead. Once I reverted the 952 subfield 9 to 952 subfield 7, all was well. This also happened when a transfer record had a 999 field. If the record number in 999 subfield c and 999 subfield d did not exist, the uploading processing would stall. So I deleted the 999 fields or corrected them to what was in the other copy of the ILS; and again all was well. I have been reading online about this phenomenon and I haven't found a reason or solution to the stall. Mind you, other operations continue to run: the editing of existing records and the entry of new records; circulation; calendar changes, etc. It's just the automatic record uploading that stalls. Well, here are two possible solutions: check for 952 subfield 9 fields and 999 fields. They may be the source of stall. Their presence may not be the only source, mind you, but their presence is a possibility. P. S. It would be nice if instead of stalling, the uploader would write the MARC record to some sort of upload log with a reason; and then try uploading the next record. Shall I file a feature request? -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.
