Import the MARC21 with Item details
Hello everyone, I have marc21 file with more than 20K records, I would need to import in the Koha with the barcode, I have updated the Marc21 file with MarcExit tool and added items with 952, but still it doesn't reflect in the Koha catalog. When tried to use circulation it says invalid. So please let me know how can I import marc21 file with barcode data. For barcode I have tried these 2 things: =952 \\$a2442 ;$b2442 ;$o2442 ;$p2442 ;$yBooks =952 \\$p2442 Both are not working, please let me know how can I fix it. -- Thanks, Laxmilal Menaria | +91 982 955 3793 | http://laxmilalmenaria.com/
Hi, you want one 952 for each item you want to import. Each 952 should have at least the following fields: $a and $b the branchcode configured in Koha $y the itemtype code configured in Koha $p barcode $o callnumber can be helpful too There should be no semicolons or whitespace like below: Hope that helps, Katrin On 02.06.2018 09:35, Laxmi Lal Menaria wrote:

So by omitting semicolons and whitespaces I guess Katrin is suggesting the following: =952\\$a2442$b2442$o2442$p2442$yBooks $a $b $o and $p all containing the same value "2442" seems wrong. Of course you should use the correct values according to your actual branchcode / itemtype code / callnumber / barcode - only your $yBooks seems correct (assuming "Books" is actually one of your configured itemtype codes).
$a and $b the branchcode configured in Koha $o callnumber $p barcode $y the itemtype code configured in Koha
In fact, myself I don't know about this syntax since I always create MARCXML records. In MARCXML MARC field 952 could look like this, for example: <datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <subfield code="a">KDZ</subfield> <subfield code="b">KDZ</subfield> <subfield code="o">KDZ-A-108-108</subfield> <subfield code="p">+XVK26608</subfield> <subfield code="y">BOOK</subfield> </datafield> Hope this helps.

Hi
I have tried the same but still barcode not listed,
=952\\$aBR1$bBR1$oBR1-2442$p2442$yITEM001
Is only the barcode missing and the rest of the item data is imported - or is the item data not imported at all? Be sure 1. you have defined a library with Code "BR1" in Koha menu "Koha administration > Libraries" 2. you have definded a media type with Code "ITEM001" Koha menu "Koha administration > Item types" If this is both the case - what is your setting of Koha system preference "autoBarcode"?

Hi

If I understand right everything seems correct now, but still you experience the problem. I have no further clues... (and I will be away until tomorrow evening). Maybe it will help if you send the complete data record so people can see if there is something else that really causes the problem.

Hi, One thing I can immediately see wrong with your records is that you have no 942 $c, which you really should. But that won't stop your records from being either staged or imported. By changing BR1 to CPL for 952 $a and $b and itype (942 $y) to BK, I could import all you records into 18.05 without any hiccup as you can see from the following screenshots: 1) https://ibin.co/w800/44NXuTfnw9yJ.png 2) https://ibin.co/w800/44NY6LG7Q8TQ.png So, if these records are not going into your system, you need to review your installation and config settings closely. hope this helps, Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 WWW : http://www.l2c2.co.in Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg On Wed, Jun 6, 2018 at 10:59 PM, Laxmi Lal Menaria <menarialaxmilal@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi
Please find attached sample 10 records file
Let me know if any issue with the file. ...
https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/jdltI5YoY66OTnJN8UGZ5YurvCcBSrETfX0j... No issue, the content of your file is syntactically correct und sufficiently complete (but you should however also use MARC 942 $c, as Indranil Das Gupta has pointed out). I have downloaded your file "10records.mrc". I created a library with code BR1, I created a media type with code ITEM001, then uploaded and imported the records from your file into my Koha 18.05 demo installation, using the standard framework. All records were imported correctly, including the barcode. Since it worked without problems in my demo installation I guess there has to be some configuration issue in your installation. Did you control if there is any 952 $p in the framework that you're using when importuing your data?
I'm able to import but when I go to edit item details the barcode field is blank. Without barcode I am not able to do circulation system.
Or is there maybe a misunderstanding? If you're clicking on "Edit item" you will see a) the existing items in a table at the very top - basically just one long line, with the barcode filled b) the section "Add item" - well, to add a new item. This section has many empty fields, of course the "barcode" field is empty too, because in a new item you would first have to fill it. Hope this helps.
