Hi all, It's been a long time since I last posted to the Koha mailing list! :) Today (7-Jun-2011), I'm doing some testing with "bulkmarcimport" tool (the "bulkmarcimport.pl" script available at "misc/migration_tools") in a Koha 3.0.x git installation (this git version has the last commit dated from Sep-2010). I'm doing the testing with a "ISO 2709" file that contains a single record in UNIMARC. By running the bulkmarcimport command with the help option - "bulkmarcimport.pl -h" - I get the following info for the "v" ("verbose mode") switch: ---------------------------------------- # /koha/koha30xclone/misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -h Small script to import bibliographic records into Koha. Parameters: h this version/help screen file /path/to/file/to/dump: the file to import v verbose mode. 1 means "some infos", 2 means "MARC dumping" [...] ---------------------------------------- So, I thought that if I ran the command with the "v 2" option, I would get a "dump" of the MARC record. That doesn't seem to be case, however. First, this is the (correct) content of the MARC record using the tool "yaz-marcdump": ---------------------------------------- # yaz-marcdump sample.iso 00531 a2200181 4500 100 $a 20100121 pory50 ba 090 $b 790290 101 $a eng 200 $a STANDARDIZATION OF DATA FORMATS FOR A NETWORK OF PROCESS COMPUTERS IN:PROC.OF THE EURO IFIP 79, LONDON, SEP.25-28, 1979 210 $a AMSTERDAM $c NORTH-HOLLAND $d 1979 606 $a NORMALIZAÇÃO 606 $a REDE DE COMPUTADORES 606 $a IFIP 606 $a REUNIÕES 830 $d 19990127 $e 20070320 $m ricardo 990 $c 8 994 $a ARQUIVO 995 $f 2064 $k 0097 ---------------------------------------- OK. Now, the output of a "test" bulkmarcimport run with this ISO file, with the "v 1" option ("some infos"): ---------------------------------------- # /koha/koha30xclone/misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -t -c UNIMARC -v 1 -file sample.iso TESTING MODE ONLY DOING NOTHING =============== Characteristic MARC flavour: UNIMARC . 1 MARC records done in 0.00444483757019043 seconds ---------------------------------------- And finally, the output of a "test" bulkmarcimport run with this ISO file, with the "v 2" option ("MARC dumping"): ---------------------------------------- # /koha/koha30xclone/misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -t -c UNIMARC -v 2 -file sample.iso TESTING MODE ONLY DOING NOTHING =============== Characteristic MARC flavour: UNIMARC . 1 MARC records done in 0.00458002090454102 seconds ---------------------------------------- As you can say "-v 2" is displaying the same output as "-v 1". Shouldn't the "-v 2" option of "bulkmarcimport" display the content of the MARC record? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance! :) Cheers, Ricardo Dias Marques lists AT ricmarques DOT net Installation Guide for "Installing Koha 3.0.0 on openSUSE 11.0" http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.0.0_on_openSUSE_11.0
