Dear List We have downloaded Koha 3 on Linux and set all parameters. We have downloaded some test records into the reservoir using the Z39.50 connection and added item records. However, when we search the catalogue for these records they still appear in the reservoir not the catalogue. Any records added manually do not appear in either the catalogue or the reservoir. How do we make the records change from the reservoir to the catalogue? Also what do you do to make manually added records appear in the catalogue? We would appreciate your help. Thanks Irene _________________________________________________________________
Irene -- You need to index the records. See the script: misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z Options may vary, but rebuild_zebra should be scheduled by your systems administrator as a cron job to run regularly. --Joe On Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 11:30 AM, Irene Sachs <irene_sachs@hotmail.com>wrote:

Dear List We have Koha version 3 installed on a Linux platform. We are having problems getting records that we have downloaded using Z39.50 from the reservoir into the catalogue. I understand that to be able to search the records (in both the catalogue and the reservoir) you need to run the script misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z. We have run this script but haven't scheduled it to run regularly but still can only find records in the reservoir not the catalogue. Items added manually do not appear in either the reservoir or the catalogue. I can not get the records from the reservoir to the catalogue. When I go to the 'Stage Marc records for import' in the Tools section I am asked to select a file to stage. Isn't this meant for a batch upload rather than records already in the reservoir? The option to browse a file doesn't point to records in the reservoir. How do I select items from the reservoir for import? I feel that I am missing something very simple here but can't figure it out. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. The information in the manual and in the FAQs is not helpful Irene _________________________________________________________________

Yes, I've not checked but I believe so.

I think you select items from the reservoir for import by selecting them from a search results screen during acquisition. They won't show up on the catalogue if the rebuild_zebra isn't running smoothly.

I suspect that one or more of the Zebra files, including the lock files identified in the log messages, are owned by root or some user other than the one you've logged in as.

No. Errors can originate from the system, module, application, configuration, Apache server, database, hardware, etc. The best thing is to view the ErrorLog for your instance and see what file and line number it references for the action that caused the error. --Joe Atzberger
Hello, i think that saidshafik is probably only asking for a list of application errors. Certain applications indeed have lists of "symbolic" error codes that can be mapped to specific localized error messages in the language of choice. Error messages are not 'hard-coded' in the source files, but are resolved into an appropriate message at run-time...perhaps someone with translation experience can speak to that... i am not aware and haven't checked if Koha takes that route, but perhaps that is what saidshafik may be looking for.
