Switching from non-zebra to zebra
Hi there - I've inherited a mid-size volunteer run genealogy library server running koha 3.0. There are approx 9000 books, and people are starting to complain about non-zebra. I would like to switch over to zebra, but whenever I try to run the rebuild_zebra.pl script, I get the warning: [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in (bib1, Local-number) (and then it stops) I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this warning/error. If it is just a warning, why does it stop at that point? If it's an error, can someone give me an idea where to start looking for what it means? Thanks in advance, Amber
Amber, It's most likely a bad MARC record. The difficulty, however, is in finding it. I encountered this with a MARC record that exceeded the 99999 size limitation. One idea is to run rebuild_zebra.pl with the -x option which will use the marcxml table field rather than the marc table field. David 2010/5/19 Amber Bole <aabole@gmail.com>

Thanks so much, I will try this tonight. Hopefully I can figure out which MARC record is the "bad" one.... it'll be hard going through all 9000 by hand :D On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 12:12 PM, Birmingham, Dave <dbirmingham@ptfs.com>wrote:

I don't know whether you are running marc 21 or unimarc, but if you are running MARC 21, check your record.abs (for me in /etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/biblios/) and uncomment the line under KOHA SPECIFIC that says: melm 090$c Local-number:w Worked for me anyway. Possibly also works for unimarc. --- On Wed, 5/19/10, Amber Bole <aabole@gmail.com> wrote: From: Amber Bole <aabole@gmail.com> Subject: [Koha] Switching from non-zebra to zebra To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Received: Wednesday, May 19, 2010, 10:58 PM Hi there - I've inherited a mid-size volunteer run genealogy library server running koha 3.0.
