Well, we are still having some issues with Authorities and linking. koha-3.02.00-rc with zebra index We have imported biblios with item records using the standard web interface to stage and then import MARC records. (no issues) This was folled by rebuild_zebra -v -b -r We have created 2 different marc files for authoriy records: Names.marc and Terms.marc. These authority files should have complete coverage for all names in the 100$a field and the 653$a field. We imported these with: bulkauthimport.pl -v 2 -file Names.marc bulkauthimport.pl -v 2 -file Terms.marc we then ran: rebuild_zebra.pl -v -a -r Finally we ran: link_bib_to_authorities.pl --verbose --test Bib authority heading linking report ------------------------------------ Number of bibs checked: 1440 Number of bibs modified: 0 Number of bibs with errors: 0 So nothing was linked. I can search on blblios and authorities and everything looks cool. One weird thing is that if I do an authorities search for a Person, the results look fine. If I do the same for a Term (e.g. Texas), I get results, but they have '$a' stuck on the front in the 'Authority search results' page. Even after manually linking, the authority Terms still show Used in: '0 biblio(s)' While doing this we also discovered that if defining terms for a biblio, it does not appear to hand 653 records with repeating $a subfields (as in 653$aword1$aword2$aword3). It appears to be much happier with repeated 653 records with a single $a subfield in each. MARC documentation at LOC is not definitive about how these two variations should behave (that we could find). I am happy to make our marc files available if someone wants to take a look. I am still suspecting that we may not have something right in our configuration or MARC records. I have included some a couple of sample MARC records output with marcdump below.

You're absolutely correct, I tried the search again without the $d (date) and it worked. I still don't understand why my uploaded authorities aren't linking. Maybe whatever was hanging up the server interfered with the link process? At any rate, we're going to start again from scratch tonight. The uploaded records don't have subfield d in them, so at least that's not part of the problem.
I'm supposed to demonstrate the wonders of Koha to the advisory committee tomorrow. I must say, it looks impressive, even if it's not all there yet!

Elaine, We have seen this on one of our systems when the subfield d in the authority is used for date range. I believe that Colin Campbell has been looking at it. I will let Colin (or anyone else) comment on what the solution might be, but thought it worth mentioning you are not alone and I don't think you missed a step.

Greetings all,
We did a bulk import of biblios, and then a bulk import of name authorities, Then we ran link_bibs_to_authorities.pl , and finally ran the zebra. Sometime after that we had to reboot the server as something else was causing it to run very slowly. Have we missed any steps in this process?
Two possibly? related problems occurred with authorities. 1) The authorities don't seem to have linked to the bibs. 2) Trying to figure out why, I created a new biblio, so we could see where the link is broken in our imported records. I was editing the new record, and asked it to search the authorities for a name (one that isn't in the authorities file, as it happens) in the 100 field. This popped up:
ZOOM error 20003 "can't set prefix query" (addinfo: "@or @attr 7=1 @attr 1=Heading 0 @and @attr 1=authtype @attr 5=100 PERSO_NAME @attr 1=Heading @attr 5=1 @attr 4=6 "Maxwell, Robert L.," @attr 1=Heading @attr 5=1 @attr 4=6 "1957- "") from diag-set 'ZOOM' For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@efdss.org), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.
My webmaster doesn't know what this means. I've found multiple bug listings for ZOOM error 20003- I think this is the latest. http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3386
We've got the candidate release of 3.2 installed - do I still need the patch? Does this error message have anything to do with the fact that the links aren't working? As far as I can tell, the MARC framework for the 100 field is set correctly. Thanks again
