It has been a year since I set up OAI on our system. So, if memory serves, I turned on the OAI database and designated a marc tag to identify what field to hold the set name.
From experience, it has to be an indexed field. I used tag 595 subfield 'a'.
You also will need to set how many records you will deliver per request. I set ours to 500. But, it could have been 2000 with no impact on the server. Note: If you have multiple set names Koha will only use the first one. I don't know anything about SOPAC2. I did not set it up nor do I know if it exists on our system. Once it was set up I tested by using a browser to sent a request. In a browser I sent it to the "page" at: http://koha.andrews.edu/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=Identify (Obviously use your own sitename in place of 'koha.andrews.edu') If all is well it should sent you a XML response that identifies the OAI database. The verb on the end tells it what you want to receive. Other "pages" I found useful are: http://koha.andrews.edu/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListSets http://koha.andrews.edu/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&set=SDAPI http://koha.andrews.edu/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=marcxml&set=T590 Note: if you don't specify the set name (or spell it wrong) you will get _all_ records. In our testing we preferred that. Something I learned (but everyone else seemed to know already) is that OAI-PMH compliance isn't about the database. It is the interface. The interface receives a request from a computer (or a human via a browser), queries the database and send the appropriate response to the requester. [In theory the database could be a flat file if not too large. Less than about 10,000 records should be fine.] Hope my ramblings help.
