Batch import of patrons fails in 19.11.05
by Elaine Bradtke 02 Jun '20

02 Jun '20

That's not news in itself, it's easy enough to get something wrong, but the error message I got back is rather curious. Error analysis: - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron. - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron. - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron. - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron. - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron. - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron. - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron. - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron. - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron. - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron. - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron. - Userid elaine.bradtke is already used by another patron.etc. for all 2000+ records. Any thoughts on this?

Cataloging SIG this Thursday
by Hernandez, Heather H 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hi! For the next Koha-US Cataloging SIG meeting, this Thursday, June 4 @ 8 am – 9 am PT (9 MT/10 CT/11 ET in the United States), we're continuing our discussion of building a catalog without OCLC, and we're going to try something a little different! Before the SIG, I suggest viewing this free ByWater video on Koha's Z39.50 settings & use (10:31 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxZHekLGWxA We'll chat about it! To encourage an open discussion, this session will not be recorded--please feel free to join us, turn on your video, unmute your mic, and ask questions and chime in--as usual, we welcome participants presenting if they'd like to! I will take notes and circulate the notes afterwards. Anything that comes up that looks like a good opportunity for a recorded video will be repeated at a later meeting, or recorded and shared separately. As ever, please feel free to send questions, topics, etc., to me ahead of time at heather_hernandez(a)nps.gov Information on joining the meeting here: http://koha-us.org/event/cataloging-special-interest-group/?instance_id=4507 You don't need to be a member of Koha-US to join in--the meeting is open to all! Other topics we'll consider: --The process illustrated in the May meeting for using MarcEdit to verify authorities and download authority records actually seems correct. My troubleshooting and others' has shown that sometimes authority records are downloaded, sometimes they're not--we don't know why. Let's discuss! --What's a "good enough" bibliographic record?

Re: [Koha] Barcode as a link report
by muirunyeri 30 May '20

30 May '20

Hello Mark, Thanks for pointing me to that direction. The itemnumber link does open the edit item page I was looking for. However if anybody would help me understand why I get an error (biblionumber is ambiguous) after adding any field from biblio table I'd be really grateful. This after correctly adding a left join for the biblios table using biblionumber on itemnumber in items. Without the fields from biblio, the report works runs successfully.

Seeking advise
by Tadesse, Bruck 29 May '20

29 May '20

Hello, Two of our sister institutes are thinking about merging two instances of Koha into one (joined catalog with a single instance of Koha running on a single database) with external expert help. Right now, the two systems are running on two separate VMs and old versions of Koha (3.8 and 16.05). We would like to get advice from the community regarding what strategy to follow: 1. Should these two versions of Koha instances be upgraded separately, then merged. 2. Have a clean install of a new version and migrate the data from both system. 3. Or any insight in this regard would be appreciated. Thanks, Bruck T.

Koha slows and searches fail
by cjf 29 May '20

29 May '20

Hi, So I've installed a fresh version of koha (19.11) using the Debian package install instructions and then migrated over a database from another koha install. It seemed that it all went well but I am not noticing the respond time of koha dramatically slows throughout the day, and searches start to produce no results, both in staff and OPAC. Turning the machine off and on again seems to solve the issue for a while. I've checked some logs and there are no errors in zebra.log however opac-error.log is overflowing with the following errors: [cgi:error] AH01215: [Fri May 8 07:18:43 2020] opac-detail.pl: Use of uninitialized value $query_cond in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/ShelfBrowser.pm line 180.:/usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-detail.pl [cgi:error]: script not found or unable to stat: /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/Maritime law.

Yes, I think I've got it now. Thanks for your help. The hard part was figuring out where to find the itemtype in the bib record.

Sort of OT: configuring UFW
by King, Fred 28 May '20

28 May '20

My apologies for posting a question that's not exactly Koha-related, though could be. I'm hoping that someone here can explain in a way that a simple medical librarian and part-time Koha geek can understand, or point me to a source that can. Yes, I checked the man page. What I want to do us use UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) on Ubuntu to allow access to only permitted IP addresses. I can add one IP address without a problem: sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.115 to any port 80 I think I know how to add a range consisting of anything beginning with 192.168.1.*: sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 80 (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) What I need to do is allow access from the range 192.168.*.* or something like this 192.168.22-65.* or 192.138.187-189.* Any ideas or sources of information?
