converting records from reservoir to active db
Hello, I am in the process of converting over from Winnebago CIRC/CAT to Koha and have imported a number of MARC records into the reservoir, but I have yet been unable to move them from the reservoir to the active database, so that they are listed as holdings in my library branch. We've tried using the admin import option, as well as the bulkmarc import script, and the results are the same both times: the records successfully land in the reservoir, but not in the catalogue. I have been able to move one record at a time from the reservoir to the catalogue, by using the "add biblio" feature, and although we're a small library (7000 records), it seems that there must be a more efficient way. Many thanks, in advance, to anyone who might be able to help! Laura Laura Phelps Librarian Phippsburg Elementary School Phippsburg, ME. 04562
Please confirm, have you inserted holding information in 952 tag before importing into koha using bulkmarcimport.pl script? 952$p(Barcode) is must for holding information Ata LISolutions http://www.lisolutions.org/ On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 5:21 PM, Laura Phelps <lphelps@rsu1.org> wrote:

Strange. If you use bulkmarcimport records should go directly to the catalog. Do you use Zebra? If yes, try reindexing your data with rebuild_zebra.pl. If not usig zebra try rebuild_nozebra.pl Marijana ---- Marijana Glavica Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences I. Lucica 3, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia tel. 01 6120 215 fax. 01 6120 037

In 3.0 you can import items from the reservoir into the catalog in bulk. It sounds like you're running 2.2, where that capability doesn't exist.
