Merging branches in koha database
by Manoj 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Dear Friends I am new to Koha. We are running koha in or organization. Somebody in our organization, setup koha and it is working since then. I am assigned a task in koha. I have seen tables in koha database little bit. In branches table, It has 8 branches records.. Out of these 8 records, Two Branches are going to merge. For Example. branchcode=AA branchcode=AB Now I have to make these two branches in to one branch with branchcode A but this branchcode has many relationships in other tables. What is the right way of doing it. What I understand is that, First I change the values in all tables where branch code is there like AA should be changed to A and AB should be changed to A Then finally I change either AA or AB in branch table., to A, and delete one row which I don't change. Then Will it work? In OPAC, there are some report/search, in that some statistics come So that report should also be change. I think this will change, it values in tables will be changes. Please suggest. Thanks for help. Manoj

Koha slowness and server hardware
by Steven Nickerson 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some thoughts/opinions. I have a working 3.14.04 "package install" environment running on a 4-core 3.6GHz system with 8GB RAM. The OS is Debian 32-bit running as a VM on top of VMware ESXi. This single VM is allocated pretty much all of the physical hardware resources in the system...just wanted the flexibility of adding a "test" VM environment later perhaps. We are noticing that most functions are quite slow, including check-ins, check-outs, and patron lookups. I've monitored the system for a bit and am seeing that mysqld is consuming 100% of all 4 CPUs consistently during the slowness. What I'm wondering is: - Does this seem normal to folks? Should a relatively small environment (less than 2000 patrons and just over 11,000 items) be consuming that much CPU? - Could it be VMware? - Could it be the 32-bit OS? The version of VMware I installed wouldn't allow me to create a 64-bit Debian VM. - Are there any MySQL tuning parameters I should consider? - Any other thoughts/ideas on what I should look at? Thanks all! Steve

Some databases require a user/pass or make sure you are specifying the right database (ie Dynix is horizon) There is a directory of z39.50 servers on the web, but the name escapes me (someone else knows, I'm sure) Riley Childs Student Asst.

Re: [Koha] Items showing no location in the opac
by Riley Childs 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Nope, the index is working and bib changes appear and it shows the location of the item (Charlotte United Christian Academy) in the staff client, but not in the OPAC. an example of it is at http://catalog.cucawarriors.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=432 in the items section under the location column, I cannot figure it out! Also don't judge on the lack of bib info, i'm fixing that ;) Riley Childs Junior IT Admin email: rchilds(a)cucawarriors.com office: +1 (704) 537-0031 x101 cell: +1 (704) 497-2086 Please Think Before Hitting Reply All I Do Web Design!
