Fines question
by Stephen Graham 01 Feb '19

01 Feb '19

Hi All - we have two main ways of generating "fines" - overdue items or book replacement costs. I can see in the accountlines table that for overdue books the fines have an accounttype of either F or FU, and for book replacement costs it's usually L or LR. However, if we write off/wipe a fine the accounttype changes to W. Once this has happened is it possible to work out if the fine was for a book replacement or a overdue item? We've been asked if we can produce a report which has the total amount of all overdue fine wiped off in the last six months, but because all these are now set to W I cannot see a way of distinguishing the two different fine types. We are on 17.11.

by Ricardo Ruiz 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Hi All, I want to update my koha version 3.22 to version 17.11. Already install version 17.11. what is the process to update the version? In previous versions the process that was to download the new version and connect the database of the old version to the new version. Then enter the staff module to run the update process, is the process still the same? Thanks for your help, Ricardo ____________________________________________________________________

Re: [Koha] Item cannot be checked out twice on 3M self-check within the same day
by Peter Lau 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Hi Katrin, I have checked that our setting is “Do not check borrower checkout history to see if the current item has been checked out before.” That’s why it has no problem over the Circulation Counter but the problem is with 3M self-check machine.

3M self-check and RFID tagging for restricted return on some library materials
by Peter Lau 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

We use 3M self-check with RFID for library materials. Unfortunately, when we first started tagging, we’re suggested to tag everything as books only. Now with the 3M self-check, I would like to restrict some of materials so that they can’t be returned through self-check machine; namely AV, Course Reserve and Closed Collection. Is there anything we can do in Koha to have this restriction instead of having to re-tag all of these materials again?

Error retrieving biblio in rebuild_zebra.pl line 680
by otuoma 30 Jan '19

30 Jan '19

Yesterday I upgraded from koha 3.22.08 to 18.11 but can't run koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v -b koha on Ubuntu 16.04 The error I get is exactly the same with bug 18927 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18927 Zebra configuration information ================================ Zebra biblio directory = /var/lib/koha/koha_library/biblios Zebra authorities directory = /var/lib/koha/koha_library/authorities Koha directory = /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin Lockfile = /var/lock/koha/koha_library/rebuild/rebuild..LCK BIBLIONUMBER in : 999$c BIBLIOITEMNUMBER in : 999$d ================================ skipping authorities ==================== exporting biblio ==================== 1error retrieving biblio 2 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 680. .error retrieving biblio 3 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 680. ... Records exported: 0 ==================== REINDEXING zebra ==================== ==================== CLEANING ==================== When I check the file at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 680, the code already has the fix described at https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18927 On further examination, I noticed that the issue is also related to bug 17196 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17196 After the upgrade, it appears the table biblioitems no longer has the marcxml field. Also, the new table biblio_metadata exists but is empty. The other new table deletedbiblio_metadata however has data in it. Indexing with koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v -a koha for authorities works fine with no problems. It appears the update process didn't migrate the data from biblioitems.marcxml to biblio_metadata as should be the case and this is most likely why zebra is not able to index. My problem is now how to solve this issue, thank you. -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html

Failed Searches, No Data Returned, Increased CPU Utilization
by Jesse Stallings 30 Jan '19

30 Jan '19

Zebra server is running and recently rebuilt, but searches are slow and return no results. Koha has been installed on AWS t2.micro instance for the past few years without issue (we are a small library), but something is suddenly running often enough that it is slowing everything else down. I know enough to have installed/updated/maintained things this far, but I'm not sure what logs will help me figure this out. Thanks, Jesse Stallings
