Hi Mike, Step 3 added your duplicate authorities. So yes you will need to de-duplicate authorities before loading. Step 5 was not working at version 3.0 but we have seen it working at 3.2. I hope this helps. Ian On 27/01/2011 14:34, Mike McCormack wrote:
Hi all,
I am converting some bibs and authorities from another system into koha and I have ended up with duplicate authorities on the koha database. I wonder if someone could point out where I went wrong or if koha is behaving as designed:
Here are the steps I followed:
1.Loaded a file of 6,500 Marc Bib records using bulkmarcimport.pl
2.Rebuilt the Zebra index -b
3.Loaded a file of Authorities using bulkmarcimport.pl – As an example, this file contains 6 authority records for “Pullman, Philip”
4.Rebuilt the Zebra index -a
5.Ran link_bibs_to_authorities.pl
6.When I check the personal name authorities there are 6 “Pullman, Philip” entries, all linked to 0 bibs
Do I have to dedup the authority file before I import it (not an easy task)?
Any help would be appreciated
Mike
