l looked at bug 11940. Our records aren't usually very large, and my first attempt was for a subset of records that do not have any items attached. The problem reported in 11940 seems to be something that happens when there are too many items. I have tested an XML export of of the subset of records selected by item type, but got the same results, an empty file. However, export all records with items attached does work in XML (whereas it doesn't in plain MARC). Part of the problems seems to be related to limiting by item type. I'm assuming this item type is the one stored in MARC21 942$c If it was pulling it from the item record that would explain why I get 0 records if I limit it by item type. I'm looking around on Bugzilla now to see if anything matches what we're experiencing. On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 12:16 AM, Robin Sheat <robin@catalyst.net.nz> wrote:

No errors showed up in the logs. I can export the whole catalogue (minus the items) by selecting don't export items. Otherwise, all I get are empty files. I haven't tried exporting single items.
Hmm, that contradicts "and selecting 'Don't export items' but this resulted in another empty file."
If it works without items, then it's possibly bug 11940. Have you tried exporting as XML, that tends to not have problems with overlarge records.
