The first indicator of the 100 field should be 1. I don't know if this is the cause of the problem, but it is worth checking. Otherwise, what you have done sounds OK to me. I am the librarian half of the team, so I may have missed something on the technical side. Elaine On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 8:11 AM, Haik Zargaryan <haikzargaryan@yahoo.com>wrote:
Dear Elaine,
After your e-mail I suspected that this problem may be due to non-latin characters of our authority records. So,
1. I have turned on IncludeSeeFromInSearches 2. I have created an authority record in English manually, 3. then attached it to a biblio, 4. re indexed the zebra (with -a -b)
Again, although the authority and biblio were linked, when I used the 400 $a "see from personal name" for the search, no result was retrieved. Maybe there is a problem with our authorities? Below you can see its MARC structure. Or maybe we are missing some important step? 000 - LEADER *@* 00331nz a2200145n 4500 001 - CONTROL NUMBER *@* 10125 003 - CONTROL NUMBER IDENTIFIER *@* AM-YeHGA 005 - DATE AND TIME OF LATEST TRANSACTION *@* 20130205115609.0 008 - FIXED-LENGTH DATA ELEMENTS *@* 130204|| aca||aabn | a|a d 040 ## - CATALOGING SOURCE *a* Original cataloging AM-YeHGA 100 ## - HEADING--PERSONAL NAME *a* Personal name London, Jack 400 1# - SEE FROM TRACING--PERSONAL NAME *a* Personal name Լոնդոն, Ջեկ 400 1# - SEE FROM TRACING--PERSONAL NAME *a* Personal name Лондон, Джек 400 1# - SEE FROM TRACING--PERSONAL NAME *a* Personal name Landan J.

Dear friends,
We have recently upgraded to koha 3.10. After importing our catalog and authority records we have used link_bibs_to_authorities.pl script to link them. During the process I was frequently (once per 1000 record) seeing this error on the console. ----- Auth error: Query term includes characters that do not translate into the target character set (1072) Bib-1 -----
However, when the process is over it seems that authorities were linked to the biblios. The message below appears in the console. ----------------------------------------------------

Yet, when I search for the authority in the *Used in* column *0 records* is written.
Not sure about the above, but whenever we do anything serious we rebuild zebra as the final step. I have a couple reports that I use to find 1XX and 6XX names and terms that are not linked to authorities, but your problem sounds like they have the linking authority number there, it's just not working.
What is more, I was told that starting from this version we can search for the records using the *authority 400 a$* field instead of the author name just preliminary turning on syspref "IncludeSeeFromInSearches". Unfortunately, this feature worked neither.
We're running 3.10.02 and following these instructions (from bug 7417) "IncludeSeeFromInSearches" worked fine for us.
to enable the inclusion of alternate forms of headings in bibliographic searches. When the new syspref IncludeSeeFromInSearches is turned on (default is off) rebuild_zebra.pl will insert see from headings from authority records into bibliographic records when indexing, so that a search on an obsolete term will turn up relevant records.
To test: 1) Enable IncludeSeeFromInSearches 2) Add a heading that has an alternate form to a record (for example, "Cooking" has the alternate form "Cookery," if you have authority records from LC) 3) Index the zebraqueue (or reindex if you haven't indexed your system yet) 4) Confirm that if you search for "Cookery" you get the record you
