Fred, Ebooks is the classic best case use of the Undo Import feature. Especially in a case like yours were the bibs have no items. You can import the batch (maybe with a note to show when to remove) And when you're ready, you undo the import and those bibs are removed. You should not see any issues in the use-case you describe. Your other option of creating an itemtype of R2 records works as well. You can use a Report to gather the itemnumbers for the R2 items, feed them into the Batch Deletion tool and remove them (and the bib) that way. This way is a bit more work, but works just as well. joy On Fri, Dec 2, 2016 at 7:17 AM, King, Fred <Fred.King@medstar.net> wrote:
Raymund, and others who have used the Undo Import feature,
Since I was about to do pretty much the same thing, could you tell me what little tendrils were left when you did an Undo? I loaded a batch of e-books a while back (ClinicalKey and ClinicalKey nursing), and I was planning to undo that batch and load the latest collection. They're just catalog records with 856 tags pointing to the online book--no item records, checkout history or anything similar. We're using Koha 16.05 with Ubuntu 14.04LTS.
We're also about to offer our users the Rittenhouse R2 collection. This gives our users access to a huge collection of medical books. Any book may be used up to three times without extra charge; once that limit has been reached, we have to decide whether to buy the e-book for our e-book collection.
I'm just starting to think of ways to handle this in Koha; if anyone else has worked with a collection that provides access for x number of uses and then disappears (if we decide not to purchase it) or provides unlimited access (if we do purchase it), I'd love to hear from you.
My current thought is to add all the R2 MARC records as a new item type and put a note in the OPAC Results and OPAC Detail screens that explains what this collection is and how it works. Once the limit has been reached, I could change the item type to R2--added to collection or R2--not added to collection. Has anyone come up with a better way?

We regularly import large files of MARC records into our Koha (16.05) database which have to be deleted at a later date… sometimes months later, and sometimes maybe 30,000 records. I have been using the Undo import (sort-of “unstage”) as I found this functionality astoundingly useful. It automated a task, reducing a tedious job to a couple of keystrokes.
However I was dismayed to find that after a recent “Undo” of 13,000 records our database was left over 7,000 “phantom records”- they didn’t exist but the indexing had failed to remove all traces of them
We were advised to use the batch record deletion tool, as the Undo feature wasn’t designed to be used in the way I was using it. “… it is meant to unstage records nearer to the point in time of being added”. (And what’s the point of that?) We had to have our database re-indexed to resolve the problem. Is there any point in the Undo feature if the indexer can’t cope? I hate to think what other dross I had left behind in earlier “Undos”!
