Environment: Koha 3 Alpha / Ubuntu 7.1.0 / Zebra 2.0.26 / Mac-Tel Hardware / MARC21 No experience with Koha 2.x; our goal is to become familiar with Koha while waiting for Koha 3 Beta Problems with Zebra Indexing: 1) When biblio and biblioitem deleted from database data remained in Zebra indexes and search results displayed link to biblio which was no longer in database, even after indexes rebuilt. - How to prevent? 2) Sometimes new biblios would not be indexed for 20-30 minutes and other times Zebra indexes would need to be rebuilt to force indexing of new biblios. - Any suggestions for solving delayed indexing problem? 3) When Zebra server is restarted Zebra directories are missing and must be restored. - How can server be restarted without deleting directories? 4) Today searching no longer works at all. Zebra server was restarted, missing directories were restored and indexes were rebuilt. Biblios and biblioitems are still in the database. - Any suggestions for restoring search function *without* reinstalling Zebra? 5) If we want to export the biblios and biblioitems (less than 25 at this time) in the database to create a backup file in case we need to do a total reinstall of Koha and Zebra are there any "gotchas" or best practices? Thanks in advance for assistance.
