Thanks Chris. When I use UTF8 it loads fine. That kind of makes sense. When I load from another system they are MARC8 and no problem with loading. These records are exported from Koha and then reloaded so it uses UTF8. But, why do some of them load anyway when I uses MARC8? I guess it is because some just don't hang during the load process. Thanks again. Steve On 3/10/2014 6:42 PM, Chris Cormack wrote:

I am new to Koha.
I am exploring Koha for possible use on future projects.
I have Koha running with 52,000+ bib records loaded. No item or patron records.
I exported some records and made some edits on them. Now I am trying to reload them and overlay the existing record.
The reload gets stuck and eventually times out. I split up the load and have loaded several records but it gets stuck at a certain point.
I have narrowed it down to a single record. (But there may be others.)
On the stage MARC for import I upload the file with a single record. Enter a comment: blah blah Record type: bibliographic Character encoding: MARC 8
Is it really MARC8 not UTF8 ? Because the Leader is saying it is UTF8
It could be because it is trying to do a conversion it doesn't need to, and hanging on that
(Position 9 in the leader =a == UTF8)

Modify record using template: Do not use Record matching rule: Recnum [the contents of tag 999c] Action if match: Replace existing record with incoming Action if no match: Ignore incoming record Check for embedded item record data: No How to process items: Ignore items
I am using Koha version: 3.14.04.000
It loads other records, but on this one (and possibly others) is stops. It will eventually time out.
The record that does not load is:

What am I doing wrong?
BTW: It has reloaded on control number before but 40% of my records do not have a control number.
It has also reloaded on marc tag 035 but I haven't been able to do that for the past week.
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks
