Hi Nicole, there are 2 scripts that work like the staged MARC import tools, but from command line. We use them a lot for our imports from the union catalog matching on 001, but you can use every matching rule defined within Koha: misc/stage_file.pl misc/commit_file.pl stage_file.pl let's you specify the matching rule you want to use: --match <match_id> use this option to match records in the file with records already in the database for future overlay. If <match_id> isn't defined, a default MARC21 ISBN & title match rule will be applied for bib imports Hope that helps, Katrin

That says the opposite of what I want. It says :
"if the same isbn is found, the biblio is not added"
I want the bib I'm importing to overlay/replace the one that's on there.

Nicole, from perldoc of bulkmarcimport.pl
-i,-isbn If set, a search will be done on isbn, and, if the same isbn is found, the biblio is not added. It's another method to deduplicate. -match & -isbn can be both set.
I think that if you import with that switch then isbn will be taken into account.

I have a big file of marc records to import and wanted to know if there is there a way from the command line to overlay records I'm importing based on the isbn match? The docs seem to say if it finds an isbn match then the one I'm importing is ignored.
