Hi, it's not a file, but in the database. The table is called bibliotitems and the field is marcxml. But it's the whole MARC21 record in XML syntax and not only the field for OPAC suppression. So you have to parse it for the field you want to check. Hope that helps, Katrin From: Altaf Mahmud [mailto:altaf.mahmud@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, December 03, 2010 3:14 PM To: Fischer, Katrin Cc: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz; Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] Suppressing records in Koha 3.2.x Please ignore this if found repetitive.

That what I guessed :) Deleted things go into the tables mentioned before. Suppressed titles are not shown in OPAC, but can still be researched and displayed in Intranet. It is a separate feature. If you have set the sys pref to don't hide, you probably have no suppressed records yet. For a record to be suppressed in OPAC view the 942$n field has to be set to 1. The feature is described in the Koha manual: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/index.php?ch=c18#AEN3 113 Though I found this feature under cataloging section of the manual: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/index.php?ch=c18#AEN2 96 There is no separate database field where you can see if a title is suppressed. The information is stored in the XML of biblioitems.marcxml. Couldn't find the file even by exhaustive 'find' command, is it possible to provide the exact path? I need to have those data somehow.

Moreover, we don't have any marc record with $942 field, but the deletedbiblio, deletedbiblioitems and deleteditems still have data. After getting your mail, I searched some items in normal OPAC view which are in deletedbiblio table. I got the items in Koha, the records are also in biblio table. That's why I'm still confused. Does Koha retain those 'deleted' items for any further reference, or those are supposed to be 'suppressed' items? What the reason could be?

Which database field indicates that the item is suppressed in OPAC view?
