If you have details, please make them available. We looked into this (again after MarcEdit attempts), but ran into problems (from memory, more_subfields_xml) ... and we've got about .25 million items to add ;=} Thanks -- Paul

Best practices for koha - journal migration using marcedit
by Suresh Kumar Tejomurtula 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Dear team, I would like to know how to covert excel data of journals especially with large number of issues(having more than 600 issues) for each journal. Tried using marcedit and it is giving error - 501 when trying to covert mrk to mrc format. Is there any other way how I can covert this data to mrc format. -- Regards T. Suresh Kumar

OAI-PMH in 3.22
by Pedro Amorim 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hello all, After the upgrade to 3.22, OAI-PMH response is now using oai_dc:collection instead of oai_dc:dc. NOTE: You might need to access the corresponding staff interface for the links below, because the database may have been reseted and OAI repository might be disabled. *This is an example from online demo version 3.16 (Haven't got any handy 3.20):* http://library.software.coop/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&metadataP… *This is from online demo 3.22:* http://koha.adminkuhn.ch:8000/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&metadata… Can someone else confirm this? Is this intentional? I have found nothing regarding this in the release notes. Thanks, Pedro Amorim

Migration koha 3.12 (debian 6) to a fresh koha 3.22 (debian 8)
by Administrateur 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hello, I am trying to do the migration from koha 3.12 (I'm not the one who installed it) to koha 3.20 or 3.22. The one on debian 3.22 is a freshly installed debian 8. I made my test using a cloned virtual machine so the new system only has mysql-server and apache2. Nothing else is installed or configured. I think I've encountered a problem with Zebra. Both of my installations uses the debian package koha-common. I transfered the database and the files from 3.12 to 3.22 with koha-dump and then koha-restore. (doc-ite is the name of my koha instance) Here is what happen after a restore : ERROR 1396 (HY000) at line 1: Operation DROP USER failed for 'koha_doc-ite'@'%' ERROR 1046 (3D000) at line 2: No database selected DBI connect('dbname=koha_doc-ite;host=localhost;port=3306','koha_doc-ite',...) failed: Access denied for user 'koha_doc-ite'@'%' to database 'koha_doc-ite' at /usr/share/perl5/DBIx/Connector.pm line 32. Can't call method "do" on unblessed reference at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 793. Something went wrong rebuilding biblio indexes for doc-ite DBI connect('dbname=koha_doc-ite;host=localhost;port=3306','koha_doc-ite',...) failed: Access denied for user 'koha_doc-ite'@'%' to database 'koha_doc-ite' at /usr/share/perl5/DBIx/Connector.pm line 32. Can't call method "do" on unblessed reference at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 793. Something went wrong rebuilding authority indexes for doc-ite Restarting apache2 (via systemctl): apache2.service. But even with thoses errors the DB was populated and I was able to do a koha-upgrade-schema without errors. The user koha_doc-ite can connect to the mysql database with the password in koha-conf.xml (I had to manually reset the password). I can connect to the front-end and the back-end and all the data seems to be there (If I look in overdue, I can see my books). But I can't search any books in the library. No hits. My zebrasrv is started (with koha-start-zebra) and running. The weird part is that if I don't do use 'koha-rebuild-zebra' after a fresh restore I have some results with zebra but not all of them. The number of hits is correct but there is like 3 results instead of ten in the result page. Then if I do a complete rebuild here is the message I get : # koha-rebuild-zebra -v -f doc-ite Zebra configuration information ================================ Zebra biblio directory = /var/lib/koha/doc-ite/biblios Zebra authorities directory = /var/lib/koha/doc-ite/authorities Koha directory = /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin Lockfile = /var/lock/koha/doc-ite/rebuild/rebuild..LCK BIBLIONUMBER in : 001$@ BIBLIOITEMNUMBER in : 090$a ================================ skipping authorities ==================== exporting biblio ==================== 78101....................................................................................................

Received SearchResponse. Search was a success. Number of hits: 5876, setno 1 SearchResult-1: term=Bible cnt=5876 records returned: 0 Elapsed: 0.002232 There is also difference in some files (But I think it's because Zebra can't generate an index) /var/lib/koha/doc-ite/biblios/register/ on debian 6 is ~550Mb whereas the one on debian 8 is 20Kb (basically empty) Because it didn't work, I tried to manually dump the SQL from 3.12 and load it on a freshly installed koha 3.22 after creating a dummy instance with koha-create, same problem. I did the same with koha oldstable (3.20), but no success. I even tried to install the 3.12 from the tarball on debian 8 but I've encountered many issues with perl and non-existing lib. I couldn't make it work. I looked for a 3.12 debian repository but it don't seem to exist. Usually I always find solutions but this time I really need help because I have no more idea on how to do it. I'm new to the koha world (started to look into it 2 weeks ago) and I feel like I'm missing something simple. Thanks. -- Regards. Joël M.

Tag 952 field migrated records not shown
by Decka David 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Dear Koha team, It's not happening right when I am migrating MARC records from the Athena library system to Koha. I have set my Koha MARC bibliographic framework correct and the results shown Ok from the MARC test. From the old Athena 852 tag there is little difference in MARC subfields. I have edited MARC fields especially the tag 852 to 952 and its subfields using the MARC editor tool. The only problem now is that tag 952 fields which when migration test records, it seems no records were shown in the 952 Holdings tag. Can someone advice me how to solve this problem or am I missing a step during this process for smooth flow of migration. Does it actually happened that the tag 952 marc field are easy to import from marc file after editing using the marc editor. Or will I be editing all 99 000+ records of the tag 952 fields manually? Regards Decka
