To respond to part of my own question, the problem was related to the dom/grs1 configuration. dom is the default configuration for authority indexing yet it's not supported with unimarc. I changed (in fact re-installed) using grs1 config for authority indexing and now I can import and see the authorities. I cannot link them however to biblios since I get this error: ./link_bibs_to_authorities.pl Can't locate object method "new" via package "C4::Heading::UNIMARC" (perhaps you forgot to load "C4::Heading::UNIMARC"?) at /usr/share/koha325bjarad/lib/C4/Heading.pm line 168. and there seems to be no Heading::Unimarc package. I only have C4/Heading/MARC21.pm Kind regards, Len On 03/01/2011 10:46 PM, Marilen Corciovei wrote:

Hello,

We are trying to import authorities and biblios from an old system into koha but we've run into several problems. There is another recent thread related to authorities import but I don't think the problems are related.

Our problem is as following. We tried to import authorities from a marc file with the following format:

LDR 00119nx a22000613 009 HERBERT, FRANK 200 _aHERBERT _bFRANK 801 0 _aRO _bARBJ

using the bulkauthimport.pl tool. The tool gives no error and 1 item seems imported. However we can see nothing in the interface. I also tried to use the stated import from the interface but after some research I found a thread saying it is only used for biblios and not authorities. Upon some digging we noticed the following warn in zebraidx:

22:24:10-01/03 zebraidx(1209) [warn] /usr/share/koha325bjarad/etc/zebradb/authorities/etc/dom-config-marc.xml: stylesheet authority-zebra-indexdefs.xsl not found in path /usr/share/koha325bjarad/etc/zebradb/authorities/etc:/usr/share/koha325bjarad/etc/zebradb/etc:/usr/share/koha325bjarad/etc/zebradb/marc_defs/unimarc/authorities:/usr/share/koha325bjarad/etc/zebradb/lang_defs/en:/usr/share/koha325bjarad/etc/zebradb/xsl

Is there a xsl for unimarc?

I don't know if this is causing the problem. The entries are imported and not indexed? Or they are not even imported. Is the marc format wrong for unimarc? Also it seems that the unimarc install only creates the default authority type. In marc21 there are several created. Can this be a cause of problems?

Also, again unrelated to the previous problems when searching for authorities from the create biblio page the following error occurs:

Premature end of script headers: auth_finder.pl, referer: http://10.10.0.12:8002/cgi-bin/koha/authorities/auth_finder.pl?authtypecode=PER&index=tag_700_subfield_a_470688_260229&value_main=

It seems there is no luck for authorities today.

Thank you for any help. Kind regards, Len www.len.ro _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
