Problem importing MARC records into Koha
Hello, I am trying to import some very simple MARC records into Koha 16.11. Here are the first two records: =LDR 00000nam 2200000Ia 45e0 =008 170517s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =100 \\$aErica James =245 \0$aPrecious Time =952 \\$p100$yAF$d12/17/2015$aFROGL$bFROGL =LDR 00000nam 2200000Ia 45e0 =008 170517s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =100 \\$aIan Rankin =245 \0$aHide and Seek =952 \\$p101$yCRI$d12/17/2015$aFROGL$bFROGL (FROGL is my library code.) Having compiled this to a .mrc file using MarcEdit I have tried to import it using the "Stage Marc Records for Import" tool. This tool reports: MARC staging results : Processing bibliographic records 2373 records in file 0 records not staged because of MARC error 2373 records staged Did not check for matches with existing records in catalog 2373 item records found and staged All seems OK so far, but when I then run the "Manage Staged Marc Records" tool it tells me that 0 records and 0 items have been staged, and no records are displayed. I am pretty new to Koha and would appreciate some suggestions on what the problem might be, to save further damage to my head (and the brick wall ...) Thank you Chris Brown
The next step is to click on the button "Manage staged records" -- be sure to look under the blue box and click on import this batch into the catalog. If there is nothing there recheck your matching rules, then try to import a different bib. Hope this helps.

Koha expects your Item type to be defined in two different places (for 2 diff purpose) - (a) 942$c and (b) 952$y As for your error, this is just a hunch - what does it show if you try to validate your marc records *inside* MarcEdit using the Marc validator function? regards idg -- 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
I am wondering the same thing. The leader shows a length of 00000 which would mean the marc record is 0 bytes long. I wonder if this is why the records are not being recognized/parsed by Koha. On Wed, May 17, 2017 at 1:53 PM, Indranil Das Gupta <indradg@gmail.com> wrote:
