Re: [Koha] One biblio record not visible in staff interface or OPAC
Hello, I'm currently doing a test on my laptop installation. I'm trying to add the first record, and I'm keeping an eye on the tags you mentioned. I only have tags 906, 942, and 955. I _do not_ have tag 999 and there's no option to either add or delete the tag when I go to "Koha to MARC mapping". In addition to that, there's a note: If you make any change to the mappings, you must ask your administrator to run misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl. How exactly do I run misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl?? There's no system administrator who can do it for me.

Hi,
did you use another/different framework for the locally published title maybe?
When you run the MARC framework check in the administration module, are there any errors?
Are there any errors in the system information tab on the about Koha page?
Hope this helps,

Hello all, I didn't think I'd have a new question so fast but here it is:

Hello, this is a MARC21 installation; the UNIMARC installations were removed as I didn't know how to adapt the default framework to a Books, booklets and workbooks framework. (Why is there only the default, fast add and acquisitions framework when you do a UNIMARC installations, and a lot more frameworks when you do a MARC21 installation??) I dd not make any changes to any of the frameworks in this installation. Yes, I do have 001 for the three records I added so far (imported via Z39.50) and there is a biblionumber there. I have not gotten to adding the locally published book which was the problematic one - I could not find it via Z39.50 so I had added it manually. Is a biblionumber generated automatically when you add a new record manually, or do you need to create one yourself, and how is that done?

I'm sure I'm missing something during data entry as it's been many years I worked with any marc flavor and relearning it is taking longer than I expected (why doesn't the knowledge of it just magically transfer XD )

Hi,
did you use another/different framework for the locally published title maybe?
When you run the MARC framework check in the administration module, are there any errors?
Are there any errors in the system information tab on the about Koha page?
Hope this helps,
Katrin
Hello all, I didn't think I'd have a new question so fast but here it is:
So I've added a few books to my catalog. I can search for them in both staff interface and OPAC by their title, barcode or ISBN, and almost all of them appear in search results except the locally published
On 17.04.23 15:40, library@ssst.edu.ba wrote: title I added manually, not via Z39.50 (which is how I added the rest). Why is that, and how can I correct it? Please and thank you!

Sucess!! I did some digging into the global settings for "controlnumber" to see if I'd missed any preferences when I reinstalled this instance, and it turned out that I needed to set the following: UseControlNumber to Use record control number ($w subfields) and control number (001) for linking of bibliographic records. under "Display", and autoControlNumber Control Number (001) is generated as biblionumber under "Record structure".

(But I also remember reading something about this not being a good choice if you have serials and if you are planning to catalog articles.

Hi, Aida!
UseControlNumber to Use record control number ($w subfields) and control number (001) for linking of bibliographic records. ... I also remember reading something about this not being a good choice if you have serials and if you are planning to catalog articles.
We have serials and catalog articles ("analytics") and this works fine for us (with custom XSLT from ByWater that they are happy to share with the community) and is better than searching for author and/or title due to the often generic titles of serials. Uploading a local cover image is easy-peasy! It can be uploaded to go with an item or at the bib level. We pull cover images from OpenLibrary, so I will often contribute the cover image to OpenLibrary.org so it's more widely available. And why are there more bibliographic frameworks with a MARC21 installation? I'm a Real Cataloger and I have no idea—we use the default framework exclusively. The other frameworks are, IMO, completely unnecessary. I think they are used more often in consortia or really large libraries that may have lots of staff contributing records with very different levels of training and expertise. The differing frameworks/choices of authority records also drive me round the bend—I dream of a day that I can open an Advanced Authority Editor and just key in an authority record.

Hello Heather! Way way back when I had just been placed in charge of the library, I used a program that was originally meant for collectors, but could work for libraries as well. The way I handled articles was to use its container feature to catalog the serial, articles as items and joined them under that particular container. When the developer ultimately stopped working on that program, the in-house system developed by our IT didn't have a way to import those serials, and since they had mostly been donations from staff and almost never complete volumes, tin addition to very rarely being circulated, they were never imported. I'd like to eventually put them back into circulation, so knowing that something exists for that purpose is really helpful! I must finish importing the records I've cataloged so far (embarrassingly few, but then again I was working on learning how to install web servers on Linux and Koha setup, so I won't feel guilty about it!) "And why are there more bibliographic frameworks with a MARC21 installation? I'm a Real Cataloger and I have no idea—we use the default framework exclusively. " OH! And I was under the impression that one wasn't supposed to use the default framework directly, but to duplicate the framework and edit the fields they need to use. "The other frameworks are, IMO, completely unnecessary. I think they are used more often in consortia or really large libraries that may have lots of staff contributing records with very different levels of training and expertise." My level of expertise with MARC is definitely low and I certainly got used to the simplified system we currently use, but I'm slowly improving. Today I even recognized some tags when they were mentioned in the cataloging SIG! "The differing frameworks/choices of authority records also drive me round the bend—I dream of a day that I can open an Advanced Authority Editor and just key in an authority record." I'm looking forward to using the advanced editor once I'm more confident in my skills! Re: local covers, I noticed there's an option under cataloging tools to upload a local cover image, so I will go and investigate that and OpenLibrary. (And I also discovered that switching my replies to plain text stops my emails from balooning in size and being stopped for moderation.)

Hi, you should not *need* to have 001 set to biblionumber in a MARC21 installation to make things searchable, although it doesn't hurt if you want to link records, which is one reason why you can do it. But: UNIMARC expects the biblionumber in 001, I think. I keep wondering if your indexing configuration might be wrong. If you don't search for keyword, but select title or author as search option - do you find what you are looking for? Checking the koha-conf.xml for the URLs to indexing configuration would help to show if I am right or wrong. Hope this helps, Katrin On 04.05.23 16:01, library@ssst.edu.ba wrote:

Alright, so after applying the fixes that worked on the laptop to the server, I can access the records in OPAC by clicking the link in the coverflow. I cannot get it to appear if I do a search when the search engine is set to Elasticsearch. Once I change it to Zebra, the search works. My MARC bibliographic framework test shows no errors in the MARC parameters table. On the other hand, I find that when I click on the authors, I get "No results found" or if I click on the loupe next to their name, I get " This authority is not used in any records." Clicking on "Link authorities automatically" brings up a note that the authorities are missing and have been created, but repeating an author search after that still brings up no results. Not sure how to correct that. I thought I might find some answers in the "About Koha" page, but that still brings up a 500 error.

Hi, that's what I've been trying to explain: The MARC flavor you choose in the web installer will determine which sample data is loaded, including the MARC frameworks. The indexing configuration is determined by how the instance was created when using 'sudo koha-create'. It defaults to MARC21, but can be set to UNIMARC using the option: --marcflavor flavor If you have a mismatch between those settings, meaning one is MARC21 and the other was UNIMARC, that would explain the issues you see with indexing, search, links etc. I believe the easiest solution would be to create a new instance and import your database there if that is the root of your problems. Hope this helps, Katrin On 08.05.23 08:42, library@ssst.edu.ba wrote:

Hello, The MARC flavor I chose in the web installer was indeed MARC21, however when I opened /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf to check I see that ZEBRA_MARC_FORMAT="unimarc". If I change this to MARC21 instead, and restart Zebra, will I stop getting errors when I add a record manually vs. via the Z39.50 servers? I'm guessing that since I went through the creation/removal of a Koha instance more than once, with both flavors, when I created the current instance the Zebra indexing setting was left at UNIMARC. I thought this would be an automatic change during the next installation. If I absolutely must I will do it, but I would really like to avoid having to create yet another instance and to have to remake all the html customizations and CSS for the OPAC. There's a setting in Record structure where I recently set the preference for autoControlNumber Value to Control Number (001) is generated as biblionumber. Would this be a correct setting for MARC21 then? When it comes to the two different flavors, with MARC 21 I got several MARC frameworks (books, serials, DVDs, etc.) in addition to the default one. With UNIMARC, I get the default plus fast cataloging and acquisitions. Is this the same for others? I really need to make this setup work, because the in-house system is not suitable for my needs, and the dev team absolutely cannot devote any time to adapting it for me this year. I need circulation to function properly, and acquisiotions so I can send out orders, and reports so I can send them to our management and to the federal statistics agency.

The indexing configuration is determined by how the instance was created when using 'sudo koha-create'. It defaults to MARC21, but can be set to UNIMARC using the option: --marcflavor flavor If you have a mismatch between those settings, meaning one is MARC21 and the other was UNIMARC, that would explain the issues you see with indexing, search, links etc. I believe the easiest solution would be to create a new instance and import your database there if that is the root of your problems.

Hello,
"But: UNIMARC expects the biblionumber in 001, I think. I keep wondering if your indexing configuration might be wrong."
I'm pretty sure I chose MARC21 during the web installation, and I can see what my indexing configuration looks like though I wouldn't be able to tell if there's something wrong with it. I'd appreciate any advice on correcting it as i tis.
Now that I'm back at work, I can go through the same process I did with the old laptop instance and see if I can replicate the solution. Any corrections to the indexing configuration I would do to the work server instance.

Hi,
you should not *need* to have 001 set to biblionumber in a MARC21 installation to make things searchable, although it doesn't hurt if you want to link records, which is one reason why you can do it. But: UNIMARC expects the biblionumber in 001, I think. I keep wondering if your indexing configuration might be wrong.
If you don't search for keyword, but select title or author as search option - do you find what you are looking for?
Checking the koha-conf.xml for the URLs to indexing configuration would help to show if I am right or wrong.
Hope this helps,
Katrin

Sucess!! I did some digging into the global settings for "controlnumber" to see if I'd missed any preferences when I reinstalled this instance, and it turned out that I needed to set the following:
UseControlNumber to Use record control number ($w subfields) and control number (001) for linking of bibliographic records.
under "Display", and
autoControlNumber Control Number (001) is generated as biblionumber
under "Record structure".
I can now see the record by adding the appropriate biblionumber at the end of the URL, which was my workaround, but also by searching for the title, which I wanted to do.
(But I also remember reading something about this not being a good choice if you have serials and if you are planning to catalog articles. I will need to leave this for some other time though, after I've added this year's records - the number is low enough that I can redo them in Koha - and finally received and prepared the export from the old system that I will then need to import.)
Next step is trying to find a way to have a cover show up in the coverflow plugin, because it's not getting picked up by Google. I assume I will have to dig into how to upload my own cover that can be used for all the locally published or old books that Google doesn't have.

Make sure 001 is visible in the editor for the framework you are using (Administration > Catalog > MARC bibliographic framework > [the framework you are using] - for visibility, make sure Editor is ticked).

Hello,
The MARC flavor I chose in the web installer was indeed MARC21, however when I opened /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf to check I see that ZEBRA_MARC_FORMAT="unimarc". If I change this to MARC21 instead, and restart Zebra, will I stop getting errors when I add a record manually vs. via the Z39.50 servers? If you take a closer look at the file, there are a lot of references to unimarc and UNIMARC in settings and file paths. You'd need to set all

I'm guessing that since I went through the creation/removal of a Koha instance more than once, with both flavors, when I created the current instance the Zebra indexing setting was left at UNIMARC. I thought this would be an automatic change during the next installation. If I absolutely must I will do it, but I would really like to avoid having to create yet another instance and to have to remake all the html customizations and CSS for the OPAC.
How did you make your changes? If you are using HTML customizations and system preferences they are all stored in the database and you would be able to load your existing database into a new instance and keep using it.
There's a setting in Record structure where I recently set the preference for autoControlNumber Value to Control Number (001) is generated as biblionumber. Would this be a correct setting for MARC21 then?
When it comes to the two different flavors, with MARC 21 I got several MARC frameworks (books, serials, DVDs, etc.) in addition to the default one. With UNIMARC, I get the default plus fast cataloging and acquisitions. Is this the same for others? At the moment there are more sample frameworks for MARC21 than for UNIMARC available with the sample data. You can still create your own
No, it would not be enough, you'd still be experiencing a lot of issues. I assume every search that is not a keyword search won't work correctly. frameworks of course. Hope this helps, katrin

OK, so no go, because I don't know enough about what should go where to attempt that.

If you are using HTML customizations and system preferences they are all stored in the database and you would be able to load your existing database into a new instance and keep using it. Yes, I made the changes using HTML customizations and system preferences. So how do I export the database? When I didn't see anything in the tools or the administration settings, I looked up the mailing list archives and found in message https://www.mail-archive.com/koha@lists.katipo.co.nz/msg28832.html that you need to enable Tools > Export by changing 0 to 1 in <backup_db_via_tools>1</backup_db_via_tools> <backup_conf_via_tools>1</backup_conf_via_tools> and then the reply to that message says it can take up to 24 hours to create a backup. I think I'd rather create a second instance and copy and paste the text of the HTML and CSS customizations between the two instances. I'm leaving for a business trip on Friday and will not be back for 10 days, so I will not be able to work on this work server installation, only on the laptop one I'm taking with me.

I'm afraid my last attempt to create a framework for a UNIMARC instance didn't go well, because I don't know how to adapt it. Last time I tried to catalog anything using the default framework, I could not save anything because I kept getting errors about leaving required fields blank, when those fields did not apply to what I was cataloging (e.g. I was supposed to fill in cartographic information when I was cataloging a textbook). Hope this helps, Thank you, it does somewhat in that I know what I need to do next, but I still need to look for how-tos and hopefully some examples. I think I'll go ahead and look up how to remove the current instance so it doesn't leave any traces behind, and then I'll try again with a new MARC21 instance. I'm also still struggling with getting UDC to appear in both the staff interface and OPAC instead of Dewey. katrin Best regards Aida Đikić

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me; I tried it and got the following result: -bash: ./misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl: No such file or directory I'm not sure how to proceed from here. Do I need to get this file from somwehere, or create it myself? As for cataloging, I've successfully added my latest record and the multiple items, but even after clicking on „Link authorities automatically“, when I click on the authors in the OPAC I get the „This authority is not used in any records“. This is true for both manually added records and Z39.50; I looked them up to make sure. Same with subjects. Is there an extra step I'm not doing that would link these authorities to the records? I'm also still unable to get the UDC classification to appear in OPAC instead of Dewey and LOC.

Hi Katrin,
I didn't mean to ignore the list; I just got back from a week-long Erasmus staff mobility stay in Sevilla. They have amazing libraries!
Thank you for the link to the instructions, I will check it out, and will probably be back with more questions.
Best regards

Yes, I made the changes using HTML customizations and system preferences. So how do I export the database? When I didn't see anything in the tools or the administration settings, I looked up the mailing list archives and found in message https://www.mail-archive.com/koha@lists.katipo.co.nz/msg28832.html that you need to enable Tools > Export by changing 0 to 1 in
<backup_db_via_tools>1</backup_db_via_tools> <backup_conf_via_tools>1</backup_conf_via_tools>
For exporting your existing database, it's much easier to use a tool like mysqldump. Some instructions can be found here, they are for moving from one server to another, but moving from one instance to another would be similar:

Thank you David, I either haven't been able to find it or have overlooked it in my search. Learning both linux and Koha has proven to be a lot more difficult than I was hoping it would be. I've decided to uninstall Koha from the work server and try the setup and cataloging a few records again to see where I'm making a mistake and not geting results when I click on the authors.

But research is fun, and I like to learn new things. According to a few searches through the list, my attention was brought firstly to the use of 'koha-shell' for such things and secondly to the following command to run this particular script: $ sudo koha-shell -c '/usr/share/koha/bin/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl -c' your_koha_name See https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2021-July/056491.html for the relevant thread. If someone else out there knows better, then please give Aida the better tip! On Fri, May 26, 2023 at 1:24 PM library@ssst.edu.ba <library@ssst.edu.ba> wrote:
Hi David,
I admit I am *sorely* tempted to just remove the Koha installation I have on my work server because it's been nothing but trouble, and testing just the one on my old laptop. I can't access the work server from home anyway and I can take my laptop to work.
So how would I access that from the terminal to be able to run it? Would I need to write this
-bash: /usr/share/koha/bin/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl
Instead of the command below (-bash: ./misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl)
Best regards

Hello Aida, I can't help with your other questions, but I will mention that on my systems, that script is located here:
/usr/share/koha/bin/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl

I am slowly continuing to add the titles I had cataloged this year in our in-house system, adding most of them via Z39.50, but having to add locally published textbooks manually. I'm grateful to Caroline for sending the little "cheat sheet" of the basic fields for cataloging in MARC21, those were very helpful. And it turns out that David Nind also once sent instructions on how to run the ./misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl script, which I had forgotten about, so apologies!
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me; I tried it and got the following result:
-bash: ./misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl: No such file or directory
I'm not sure how to proceed from here. Do I need to get this file from somwehere, or create it myself?
As for cataloging, I've successfully added my latest record and the multiple items, but even after clicking on „Link authorities automatically“, when I click on the authors in the OPAC I get the „This authority is not used in any records“. This is true for both manually added records and Z39.50; I looked them up to make sure. Same with subjects.
Is there an extra step I'm not doing that would link these authorities to the records? I'm also still unable to get the UDC classification to appear in OPAC instead of Dewey and LOC.

Hi. How exactly do I run misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl?? There's no system
administrator who can do it for me.
This is run from the command line on the server where Koha is installed. If you don't have access, then there is no other way to run it. (I'm assuming you have a process to request things from your IT/area that looks after the server.) Here is the help for this command: This script rebuilds the non-MARC fields from the MARC values. You can/must use it when you change your mapping. Example: you decide to map biblio.title to 200$a (it was previously mapped to 610$a). Run this script or you will have strange results in the UI! Syntax: ./batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl -h (or without arguments => show this screen) ./batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl -c (c like confirm => rebuild non-MARC fields (may take long) David Nind New Zealand
(I'm assuming you have a process to request things from your IT/area that looks after the server.) No, the only thing our IT did was set aside some server space for me and gave me PuTTY to install Koha and to set it up. I've been doing everything myself, basically by using the trial and error method and following online posts and instructions. I'd never done anything in Linux before. I have zero budget and zero help from our IT. "Example: you decide to map biblio.title to 200$a (it was previously mapped to 610$a). Run this script or you will have strange results in the UI!" I still need to re-learn the tags as it's been years since I had any reason to use any MARC and I've forgotten a lot. Thank you for the instructions, I will save them in a file I can access later when I need to use it. Best regards Aida Đikić Hi. How exactly do I run misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl??
