Yes, thank you! I found your post late last night after doing less specific queries in google and 1/2 hour later it worked! I wonder why this is a manual requirement rather than an automated script that runs after a successful import? I'm sure there are many good reasons. Thanks, --Huck Betsy Law wrote:

After importing, did you index the records? This solved the problem for me. Run ./bin/migration_tools/rebuild_nozebra.pl *or* ./bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl

depending on which setup you chose.

You did not specify any search criteria.

Error: Can't call method "as_usmarc" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 2133.

That would be GREAT... a reminder--even a static one just on the 'manage staged' page... my "eagerness" was more out of neccessity..my predecessor errantly configured the Linux filesystem he had installed VMware server on and the VM that was housing the Koha system...and the 1 drive he had VMware on died...thank goodness I had backed up the MARC21 records on a monthly basis(small elementary school)...so I had all of the data other than the patrons and their checkout history...which 3.0 is BUTTKICK'n in the report department compared to 2.2 I think he had setup. Librarian gonna be very pleased when she arrives next! --Huck Joe Atzberger wrote:

It is expected that you schedule rebuild_zebra to run automatically at a given interval, like every hour. See the file misc/cronjobs/crontab.example

The incorporation of cron/crontab entries is highly system dependent, so it is not something done by the installer. But many users ignore setting up the automated jobs in their eagerness to test out their new Koha installs, and then end up wondering why it "won't work". Maybe a reminder on screen after successful import would be warranted.
