Is there anyone in the community who successfully connect to Library of Congress Z39.50 server for copy cataloguing practices or search on port 210?
It works for me when I tested just now, although the LoC Z39.50 server is known to have occasional outages. If you have access to the command line on your Koha server, try the following command: yaz-client lx2.loc.gov/LCDB If it can connect at all, you should see something like this: Connecting...OK. Sent initrequest. Connection accepted by v3 target. ID : 81 Name : Metaproxy/YAZ Version: 1.11.2/5.15.3 7b9b025f4ca925ef5a1a939b989f8b35d3a17a72 Options: search present scan namedResultSets Elapsed: 0.431115 Z> If it cannot connect, it may signify that there is a firewall in place that is blocking access to port 210 on the LoC Z39.50 server. If it *can* connect, you can try running a search at the "Z>" prompt like this: Z> f @attr 1=4 "special relativity" If it works, you should see something like this: in particular, what you're looking for is whether it returns a non-zero number of hits: Sent searchRequest. Received SearchResponse. Search was a success. Number of hits: 138, setno 1 records returned: 0 Elapsed: 0.847077 To exit yaz-client, just enter "quit" at the "Z>" prompt. If you get this far and the yaz-client test indicates that the Koha server can reach and search LoC's Z39.50 server, then the next thing to check is the Z39.50 target definitions, which you can find in Home › Administration › Z39.50/SRU servers in the staff interface. The entry for the LC Z39.50 server should have values like this: Server name: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Hostname: lxc.loc.gov Port: 210 Database: LCDB Syntax: MARC21/USMARC Encoding: utf8 Record type: Bibliographic Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton Infrastructure and Added Services Manager Equinox Software, Inc. / Open Your Library email: gmc@esilibrary.com direct: +1 770-709-5581 cell: +1 404-984-4366 skype: gmcharlt web: http://www.esilibrary.com/ Supporting Koha and Evergreen: http://koha-community.org & http://evergreen-ils.org
