Hello, in inspecting my newly installed KOHA, I ran across this: How do I change this invalid authority type to a valid one? I really have changed almost nothing on the system yet, so this error must've happened during installation? The IT guys have me set up for Unimarc records.
Test Result OK itemnum : the field itemnumber is mapped to a field in tab -1 [snip] invalid authority types Not all authority types referred to by the frameworks are defined.
Framework code Framework description Tag Subfield Invalid authority type Default framework 700 a PER TOTAL You have 1 error(s) in your MARC configuration. Please fix them before using Koha
ELLA: I'm following up to this post of yours of 12-Nov-2008, because I'm having a similar problem: the "MARC Bibliographic Framework Test" is also failing (only) for authority types, with the same error message that you had. I'm also using UNIMARC and I'm NOT using Zebra ("NoZebra" is set to ON). The funny thing is that this problem did NOT happen to me when using a ("VMware Server") Virtual Machine, running Linux (openSUSE 10.3), where I installed a pre-Koha 3 (development) version and then kept "migrating" it to newer pre-Koha 3 development versions and then to Koha 3.0 "final". In that virtual machine, for each new development version, I migrated by downloading the newer Koha development version (.tar.gz file) and then running "perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log", "make test" and "make install". The "MARC Bibliographic Framework Test" returned no errors, after each installation. Then, I tried to install *another* Virtual Machine, running SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) 10 SP2 (Service Pack 2). I installed Koha 3.0 final, also set it up for UNIMARC and "NoZebra" and now I'm also getting the same error you're having! :( I tried to migrate this new installation from Koha 3.0 to Koha 3.0.1, but the error persists. Do you Ella - or *anyone* else - have any information / comments regarding this? Thanks in advance.
