Importing MARC records
In 'Cataloging -> Stage MARC records for import' I have tried staging 3 marc files for import. When I go to 'Manage staged MARC records', this screen is empty. However, jobs for each import appear in the 'Administration -> Jobs' screen. Should I see something on the 'Manage staged MARC records' screen? Any advice appreciated.
Hi, first: it would be nice to have a name to answer to đ Then, I suggest considering whether you already performed the import successfully in the past, and if so, since when the problem with the empty screen occurs. Was anything changed about your Koha configuration or version in the meantime? Is this the only feature that doesn't work as expected? Finally, if you ask for advice from the community, please give some details as to which Koha version you are using, how many records were in the MARC files etc. MARC files with a large number of records might lead to timeouts when staged via the web interface. In those cases it's probably better to use the command line tool "bulkmarcimport".

Many thanks for your reply. This is a brand new installation of Koha (version 22.11.03.000 Rosalie), so no records have ever been imported before. It looks like there is only 1 record in each MARC file. Is an invalid MARC file format a possible cause?

Hi Thomas, yes, that might well be the cause. You should check your MARC records with MARCEdit or another tool before import. Please also watch out for the sorting of the fields within the MARC record. The fields (tags) should be in ascending order, 100 before 245 and so on. A scrambled field order might lead to problems when importing. Then, if you have items with your MARC records, make sure to put the item information in field 952 for import in Koha. There is documentation at: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_(9xx). Make sure that authorised values like e.g. library branches, item locations and/or collections, item types... are correctly set in Koha and match the corresponding subfields of 952 in your MARC records. Hope this helps. Regards, Anke
