Duplicate book entry in staff interface
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Ali, and I work for a university based in Kenya. Recently, I installed KOHA ILS for our university library. During the setup of our bibliographic data, I converted our records into MARC format and uploaded them to the system. Unfortunately, I realized I made some mistakes when creating the MARC records. In my efforts to resolve the issue, I followed the instructions from the following link on how to delete all records while keeping the settings intact. https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/How_to_delete_all_records_and_keep_sett... Specifically, I truncated all the tables except for the borrowers table. After correcting the MARC records, I re-uploaded the bibliographic data. The system accepted the updates, and the data appeared to be fine. However, I have encountered a problem when searching for any book via the staff interface. I see two entries for each book—one from the old incorrect data and one with the new corrected data. Clicking on the old entries results in an error message indicating that the item is not found. On the OPAC side, the search results appear to be correct with no duplicates. Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue? Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support. Best regards, Aliasgar I Badri IT Department Aljamea tus Safiyah -- Aliasgar I Badri IT Department Aljamea tus Safiyah
This sounds like you need to do a full rebuild of the search indexes for your data. What this looks like, exactly, depends on whether you're using Zebra or ElasticSearch, as both are supported. *Joel Coehoorn* Director of Information Technology *York University* Office: 402-363-5603 | jcoehoorn@york.edu | york.edu On Wed, Nov 6, 2024 at 8:19 AM Aliasger Ilyas Badri < aliasgar.badri@jameasaifiyah.edu> wrote:

I'm currently using Zebra as my bibliographic database in Koha. I've encountered some challenges while trying to execute the koha-rebuild-zebra command. I've read that using sudo with this command can lead to permission issues, preventing newly added bibliographic records from being automatically added to the Zebra database. This would require running koha-rebuild-zebra after every new book addition, which is obviously inefficient. However, when I try to run the command without sudo, I receive the error: -bash: koha-rebuild-zebra: command not found I'm unsure how to proceed. Could you please provide guidance on the correct method to execute koha-rebuild-zebra to avoid these issues? On Wed, Nov 6, 2024 at 5:49 PM Coehoorn, Joel <jcoehoorn@york.edu> wrote:

Hi! You have to run koha-rebuild-zebra with sudo. It should not mess with permissions. (koha-rebuild-zebra runs another job i nthe background, and if I remember correctly, running *that* job as sudo might mess with permissions.) Your problem with duplicate records sounds like something that will be fixed by a full reindex. Best regards, Magnus Den 06.11.2024 16:15, skrev Aliasger Ilyas Badri:
