Need help regarding data migration
I am migrating to koha.I got a spreadsheet with the present data. I have found the marc21 tag info details for each column. eg. Accession Number 541##$e. I am using MarcEdit 's Delimited Text Translator. When I tried to map data and click Add argument, MarcEdit gives the following "Mapping Error." " Field / Subfield combinations must be defined at 245$a It appears that your intention is to create such a pair. If that's the case please click OK and update the mapping. If your data is not a field/subfield pair, click cancel to ignore this, as well as future messages. " But when I click ok, I get the same message, And when I click cancel cancel the data is added to the Arguments text area like : 0 541 ##$e 0 Please help me to proceed further. with thanks and regards Tanzeem
Hello, There is a MarcEdit listserv I would recommend you contact. ( https://listserv.gmu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=marcedit-l) They are more experts in the use of MarcEdit than we are. Thanks! joy On Thu, Jan 5, 2017 at 2:38 AM, Tanzeem M.B <tanzeem.mb@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, you should try to auto generate the arguments. To do so, enter the MARC fields, subfields and indicators in each column header in your spreadsheet. In MarcEdit's Delimited Text Translator Tool, click "Auto Generate" instead of "Add Argument". Make sure to use an asterisk (*), if you want to combine multiple subfields in one field, e.g. 245 $a + $b + $b. There's a tutorial in Terry's Worklog: http://blog.reeset.net/archives/1109 Regards, Felix -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Koha [mailto:koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] Im Auftrag von Tanzeem M.B Gesendet: Donnerstag, 5.
