Hello, I've just installed Koha 2.0.0-pre1 to try z39.50 search. I did not find any place to specify a search term as well as z39.50 server. I did the following for a z39.50 search: - Run z3950-daemon-launch.sh - Go to Intranet site - Go to Acquisition page - Click the link "Add biblio without ISBN/ISSN" - Click the link "z3950 search" Now a window poppep up with the message 'Still ?? requests to go'... It does not seem to search any z39.50 server, even Library of Congress z39.50 server (the one listed in tables z3950servers). Am I missing something? What does the current z39.50 client do? Does it actually search a z39.50 server? Thien ctho@freeshell.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org

The search can be done on ISBN/author/title. Just enter one of them in the MARC editor BEFORE clicking the link. Note : it works only if isbn/author/title fields are mapped in parameters / MARC parameters. Note2 : to see what the daemon does, you can type in a console z3950processqueue instead of daemon-launch. The processqueue does the "true" search, and is launched by daemon-launch. processqueue reports all what he does. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

I can find only ISBN field. I clicked the numbers on top but it didn't make any difference.

I've just found out how to select servers for a search. It is set by changing vaule of 'checked' in table z3950servers to 1. I think the there should be a note that z39.50 server name should not have any space. Otherwise z3950processqueue will not work. Space separates z39.50 servers when user searches several servers. However, there's nothing in the popup window after processz3950queue reports the search is done with 1 (one) result. (I search for ISBN 0717257908 at Library of Congress.) Any ideas?

Could you send me a screen copy of your window ? If there is 1 result (not : "still 1 request to go" this one means koha is waiting for answer from 1 z3950 server) it should appear in the popup. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

strange... the previous line means something is found.
In the search result, no result is showed after the search is done: Z3950 Search Results Biblios found Title Author ISBN coming from Nothing found
and this one means nothing is found. Can you tell us what is in your z3950* tables ? in the z3950result, is the blob field empty or not ? is it true iso2709 file ? -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
