Hi, First message on this list. My company is installing a Koha installation for a customer, and I've been graced with the task. Everything is working, pretty well, but when I attempt to import MARC records, Koha won't add items, only bibliographic records. From the command line: # bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -b -file ~ILS-VM-User01/cbom.mrc -d deleting biblios .Item not added (bib 1, item tag #1, barcode 000020147167): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 2, item tag #1, barcode 000020229757): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 3, item tag #1, barcode 000020189594): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 4, item tag #1, barcode 000020190644): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 5, item tag #1, barcode 000020197209): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 6, item tag #1, barcode 000020179052): invalid homebranch Library Item not added (bib 6, item tag #2, barcode 000020189587): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 7, item tag #1, barcode 000020176716): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 8, item tag #1, barcode 000020180645): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 9, item tag #1, barcode 000010080085): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 10, item tag #1, barcode 000020064341): invalid homebranch Library Item not added (bib 10, item tag #2, barcode 000020100155): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 11, item tag #1, barcode 000010091302): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 12, item tag #1, barcode 12482): invalid homebranch System Location .Item not added (bib 13, item tag #1, barcode 000020140502): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 14, item tag #1, barcode 000020119546): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 15, item tag #1, barcode 000020004026): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 16, item tag #1, barcode 000010007266): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 17, item tag #1, barcode 000020203818): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 18, item tag #1, barcode 000020193751): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 19, item tag #1, barcode 000020193706): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 20, item tag #1, barcode 000020205164): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 21, item tag #1, barcode 000020232375): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 22, item tag #1, barcode 000020086909): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 23, item tag #1, barcode 000010013137): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 24, item tag #1, barcode 000020203825): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 25, item tag #1, barcode 000010010976): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 26, item tag #1, barcode 000010011928): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 27, item tag #1, barcode 000020077044): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 28, item tag #1, barcode 000010010730): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 29, item tag #1, barcode 000020187729): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 30, item tag #1, barcode 000020167141): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 31, item tag #1, barcode 000010011645): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 32, item tag #1, barcode 000020001339): invalid homebranch Library .Item not added (bib 33, item tag #1, barcode 000020010348): invalid homebranch Archives .Item not added (bib 34, item tag #1, barcode 000020010386): invalid homebranch Archives .Item not added (bib 35, item tag #1, barcode 000020017439): invalid homebranch Archives .Item not added (bib 36, item tag #1, barcode 000020010423): invalid homebranch Archives .Item not added (bib 37, item tag #1, barcode 000020010416): invalid homebranch Archives .Item not added (bib 38, item tag #1, barcode 000020010409): invalid homebranch Archives .Item not added (bib 39, item tag #1, barcode 000020010454): invalid homebranch Archives .Item not added (bib 40, item tag #1, barcode 000020010447): invalid homebranch Archives ... However, these branches exist. In MySQL: mysql> select branchcode, branchname, marcorgcode from branches; +------------+-----------------+-----------------+ | branchcode | branchname | marcorgcode | +------------+-----------------+-----------------+ | ARC | Archives | Archives | | LIB | Library | Library | | MAIN | System Location | System Location | +------------+-----------------+-----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> So now I'm confused. Google is usually my friend, but not in this case. I haven't yet added part of the MARC/MARCXML file (there are over 1200 items in there), but I can if necessary. Thanks, - Peter
