importing bibliographic records with system number
I have tried to import records into Koha using the 999 $c to use our current bibliographic identifier numbers, but it didn't seem to work. It looks like it didn't use those numbers where overwritten by koha. The numbers where sequentially assigned by Koha apparently. Are there any special setting in the import or perhaps something else that I may have done incorrectly?

which tool do you use to do the import ? If you use misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl the default position for system number is 910 $a If you want to use a different tag and subfield, you must to use specific parameters, -x <tag> -y <subfielf> For example: ./bulkmarcimport.pl -x 999 -y c -file /home/jmf/koha.mrc -d -commit 1000 An help on parametres: file /path/to/file/to/dump: the file to import d delete EVERYTHING related to biblio in koha-DB before import. Tables: biblio, biblioitems, titems commit the number of records to wait before performing a 'commit' operation To read the full help on the script bulkmarcimport.pl you can use ./bulkmarcimport.pl -h Bye Zeno Tajoli CILEA - Segrate (MI) tajoliAT_SPAM_no_prendiATcilea.it (Indirizzo mascherato anti-spam; sostituisci quanto tra AT con @)
Hello, I currently have Koha 2.2.7 and am having trouble moving my records into 3.0 because when I have tried to do bulkmarcimport, the bibids all change of course, and this throws off everything in the rest of my catalog. If I change the bibid in the export to 910$a, it should work then? Because if it does, I'll be going with version 3 very quickly.

Hi to all,
I currently have Koha 2.2.7 and am having trouble moving my records into 3.0 because when I have tried to do bulkmarcimport, the bibids all change of course, and this throws off everything in the rest of my catalog.

yes, if you change your bibid in the export to 910$a, is easier to import bib data in Koha 3 using bulkmarcimport. But is not mandatory, you can use the switches -x and -y to use an other field and subfield.
