[Koha] Availability (& Zebra?)

[Scott Daniels]

Hi,

I am hoping to get some help with an issue I am having with our 
Koha(v3.00.05.003) installation. This is a new installation and 
biblio/item data has been imported via MARC records. All of our items 
imported correctly, we imported patrons and manually populated the 
issues table with data from the previous system.

The problem we are having is, in the search screen (ie 
cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=test).
The books are ALL reported to be on loan. (Availability: No items 
available: Checked out (1))

The reality is, some are available, some are not. This is ACCURATELY(and 
contradictory to the search screen) reflected in the details screen for 
each book (cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=733), this will list 
the items with their correct status, available or checked out.

In my research I found that Availability is calculated based on 5 
fields, notforloan(0); damaged(0); itemlost(0); wthdrawn(0) and 
onloan(null). These are all accurately set in our data.

I looked into the code (/usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 1249) and 
it seems that the availability is retrieved from the Zebra index for the 
search screen, and not the data, unless I am misinterpreting the comment.

# 'available' is defined as (items.onloan is NULL) and (items.itemlost = 0)
# In English:
# all records not indexed in the onloan register (zebra) and all records 
with a value of lost equal to 0

The scenario of a 'Zebra onloan register' not being populated would 
'fit' my problem in my mind, as it is only on the search screen that 
availability is wrongly presented.

My question is how can I populate this 'register'?

I have run zebra_rebuild -v -b -w , this has had no effect.
