Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply. bulkmarcimport has been tested and approved for the migration :)
Still, on a daily basis, I need to have the stage marc import working, so our librarian can get his notices from bookwhere (as an mrc file) and import them to Koha...
I am assuming that you have tried to run a file from bookwhere through bulkmarcimport.pl and have success. But the same file will not import via the staff-client marc import tool.
I don't think it is related, but I had a couple of SQL nitpicks in BatchImport.pl - column ambiguous definition that wouldn't allow me to see the table of to be imported records. Let me know if you want more info on this...
Sorry, I'm not familiar with BatchImport.pl. It does not appear to be in the main Koha git repo.
Regarding stage import, is there anything else I can try?
Silent fails are particularly hard to troubleshoot and the staff-client marc import tool fails silently. One thing that will make it fail is if the branch code contained in items attached to a bib is none existent. I believe the field is 952$a in a default Koha installation. There are several other bugs there as well. See here: http://tinyurl.com/ych7p68 for a list of currently reported ones. Kind Regards, Chris

Hi there,
I am helping a school setting up Koha for their 6000 books library. We are nearing the stage of production with installation, labels, importation, daily management etc under control, thanks to Koha. So KUDOS :)
That's great. Congratulations!
The last thing we need is to import records from Bookwhere (a Z ). I can stage a batch of records, the records appear in the managing batch as expected but no matter what, clicking on "import into catalogue" will give me a 0 number of records added, updated, ignored and the same for items. Obviously, I don't find my records in the catalogue.
I don't get any error message in koha_error-log, so I wonder if I am missing something obvious? btw, my koha version is 3.00.04.
Maybe try using bulkmarcimport.pl in the migration_tools sub directory. Running 'perl bulkmarcimport.pl -h' should get you information on how to use it.
Kind Regards, Chris
