Re: [Koha] Error appearing upon scanning/entering Barcodes - PLEASE HELP!!!
Sending your response to the list so they can all see it. :) I suspect that your problem lies in your current NoZebra configuration. I'm not sure what to tell you to do since you *want* to keep using your NoZebra. Any thoughts out there? Liz Rea lrea@nekls.org On Aug 30, 2011, at 9:44 AM, Joel Harbottle wrote:
Hi Liz,
Thankyou for your reply.
We are running our Koha system on:
Operating System: Linux Debian Koha Version: 3.4.4 Install Type: Upgraded Install Zebra?: ‘NoZebra’ set Results in OPAC: Yes, results are retrieved upon searching the OPAC. Translation: No
Yes, I have edited a Bibliographic Frameworks (just adding a couple MARC Tags and edited a MARC Tag), but no modifications which could break anything to do with the entry and use of barcodes.
Apart from the current problems with this error appearing upon scanning/entering barcodes, the rest of our Koha installation is working as per perfectly normal.
Our database contains approximately 13,600 Bibliographic records, and we decided to not utilise Zebra, as our Koha server doesn’t have enough power to be able to run both Koha and Zebra together.
I hope this helps in some form.
I hope your able to provide me with some insight on how to fix this problem.
Many thanks!
Kindest Regards, Joel

Joel, Sorry to hear you're having trouble. I have a few questions, if you don't mind.
What operating system are you running Koha on? Which minor release of 3.4 (the last digit is important)? Is this a new install or an upgraded install? If it is an upgraded install, was the previous install running with the zebra indexer or with the nozebra preference set? If it's Zebra, have you done a full reindex? (/home/koha/kohaclone/misc/migration-tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -v) Do you get results when you search? Are you using a translation? Have you changed or edited your bibliographic frameworks?
The answers to these questions will help us figure out where to begin suggesting fixes for you.
Thanks!

Hi All,
I’m having a problem with Koha and the scanning/entering of Item and Patron Barcodes.
Whenever you scan/enter a barcode or patron barcode in any module of Koha (Acquisitions, Cataloguing, Circulation [Checkin/Out], Serials, etc.) the following error will appear and Koha won’t perform the action you require it to do, e.g. Checkout or Checkin an item, or attach an item to a Bibliographic record.
Software error:
Can't call method "subfield" on an undefined value at /home/koha/kohaclone/C4/Biblio.pm line 2880. For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@koha), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.
Has someone out in the Koha Community had this problem and know of a solution to fix it!
At present, our system is on Koha 3.4.
Thankyou in advance for your assistance.

I should add that collections over 10k, we usually really recommend using Zebra for indexing. As a data point for you, I have run a functioning library with 8k or so records with zebra on a P4 with 1G of RAM. So, zebra isn't *that* big of a hog. You could do it on very modest hardware.

It should probably be pointed out that No Zebra code will probably be removed at some point in the future. So along with the fact that it is deprecated and unsupported, it is really a dead end road as well. Kind Regards, Chris 2011/8/30 Liz Rea <lrea@nekls.org>

Hi All,
If I was to turn on Zebra in Koha’s System Preferences after having and using the database on ‘NoZebra’ for so long, would this break the database or Koha in any form? - Also, by doing this, would this fix the problem that I have been having?
It is a reversible process. It wouldn't break anything. If the problem is that you are a deprecated configuration, then yes. Regards To+
