Hi, all! About three months ago, my library moved its Koha ILS to a new server. The transition was not ideal but it was smooth enough. We still catalog a bit on the old laptop and last week we extracted and uploaded a bunch of records to the new server. The upload process stalled. After days of pulling out my hair -- and I'm bald -- in trying to find out why the uploading process would stall, I noticed that the 952 subfiled 7 in a few records was miscoded as a 952 subfield 9 instead. Once I reverted the 952 subfield 9 to 952 subfield 7, all was well. This also happened when a transfer record had a 999 field. If the record number in 999 subfield c and 999 subfield d did not exist, the uploading processing would stall. So I deleted the 999 fields or corrected them to what was in the other copy of the ILS; and again all was well. I have been reading online about this phenomenon and I haven't found a reason or solution to the stall. Mind you, other operations continue to run: the editing of existing records and the entry of new records; circulation; calendar changes, etc. It's just the automatic record uploading that stalls. Well, here are two possible solutions: check for 952 subfield 9 fields and 999 fields. They may be the source of stall. Their presence may not be the only source, mind you, but their presence is a possibility. P. S. It would be nice if instead of stalling, the uploader would write the MARC record to some sort of upload log with a reason; and then try uploading the next record. Shall I file a feature request? -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.
