And a tertiary problem: I've discovered that some of my records contain errors that cause the bulkimport scripts to fail. I think, but am not sure, that this is related to non-Roman characters in the records. Two questions related to this problem: 1) Is there are trick for identifying these records before I actually try to load them?
Try to use yaz-marcdump command.
2) I made the dumb mistake of double loading about 8000 authority records because I forgot to rebuild_zebra after my authority load script failed. Is there a good way to do one of the following: a) Batch delete all authority records with no bibs attached.
There is a way to do this :
mmmm... latest bulkmarcimport should be more failsafe. try remove_unused_authorities.pl in misc/migration_tools It is on the official/master branch It safely removes unused authorities. my 2 cents. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT
