Multi Site Library, circulation user can't search patron outside their location
by Murphy, Daniel J 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Hi all, I work at a school that has 2 physical sites but we use one Koha Instance\database to house the collection (we have subnet IPs setup for each site to pick up the default library). We often need a user with basic circulation permissions to circulate books to students, however I am finding that unless the user is a superlibrarian they can only view patrons from the subnet of the library they are in (unless they know the correct UserID of the patron). Site 1: Campus 1 IP: 10.166.x.x Site 2: Campus 2 IP: 10.132.x.x So if the circulation user is on Site 2 they can only view patrons from site 2, and under filters they only have the option of filtering the library but site 2. This is a bit of an issue as we often have staff and students move between campuses. I have searched through the lists as best I can however I can't seem to come up with a solution, any help would be really appreciated.

Hi we recently upgraded our KOHA to version 3.22.02. It is now logging off users with a *session time-out error*, even in the middle of a cataloging process/transaction. the 'timeout' in the system preference is set to 12000000. -- Jonathan Limo Technical University of Mombasa jonathan.limo@tum.ac.ke|limotit28@gmail.com +254-728593370|+254-774111760

FW: MarcEdit Error Message
by Shell, Lezlie 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Found the problem. I had 4 records with an extra $ in subfield b. Sorry for the false alarm. Lezlie From: Shell, Lezlie Sent: Monday, February 15, 2016 3:57 PM To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: MarcEdit Error Message I was doing the last step of preparing my records for importing (re-re-re-importing) my records into our new Koha db. I was using Swap Fields to copy the 050ab to the 942$h and got this error message: Index was outside the bounds of the array. Since I have no idea what that means, I thought maybe my file of 118k records was too big, so I split it into 5 files and did a happy dance when the first group of 25k records did the swap with no problem. But, the second file, did not work, so I split that and one of those worked. For the one that didn't I used Swap Fields and copied 260ab to 942h and it worked. So, there must be a problem with one or more of the 050 fields? Can someone please give me some idea of what I should be looking for in my 050 tag? I was so close. Thanks, Lezlie

Fixing Zebra After Upgrade
by wildness 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

Hi All, I've been trying to solve this issue for a about a month now and was wondering if you all could provide any advice. This issue occurred after I upgraded to version 3.18 and the previous version was at least two years old, but I didn't note it down. Our server is running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS. The About page show this error: Zebra server seems not to be available. Is it started? When I re-index I get these errors: .error retrieving biblio 314 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 315 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 316 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 317 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 318 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 319 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 320 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 321 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 322 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 323 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 324 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 325 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 326 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 327 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. Zebra configuration information ================================ Zebra biblio directory = /var/lib/koha/library/biblios Zebra authorities directory = /var/lib/koha/library/authorities Koha directory = /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin Lockfile = /var/lock/zebra_koha_library/rebuild/rebuild..LCK BIBLIONUMBER in : 0$ BIBLIOITEMNUMBER in : 952$9 ================================ ==================== exporting authority ==================== 701..................... The issue seems similar to this post http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Indexing-Not-Updating-td5866318.html, but I had no luck after reading through it and applying it to our iteration of koha. In zebra logs this is happening: 20160115 18:04:11 library-koha-zebra: terminating too quickly, waiting 30 seconds 20160115 18:04:41 library-koha-zebra: client (pid 2195) exited with 1 status 20160115 18:04:41 library-koha-zebra: client (pid 2196) exited with 1 status 20160115 18:04:41 library-koha-zebra: client (pid 2197) exited with 1 status 20160115 18:04:42 library-koha-zebra: client (pid 2198) exited with 1 status 20160115 18:04:42 library-koha-zebra: client (pid 2199) exited with 1 status 20160115 18:04:42 library-koha-zebra: terminating too quickly, waiting 30 seconds In a infinite loop while the service running. I've gone through just about every guide, post, log, etc available on the interwebs, but nothing has solved my issue. Advice?
