[Koha] Imported records not found in catalog search

[Randall Rowe]

Shelley,

 From a command line run

  ps -ef | grep zebra

 and you should see something like the below. If it comes back with a blank line or simply returns the "grep zebra" command then the server is not running.

 OK, a simple google search defined zebra for me, but second question still applies - how do know if it's running?

Oh dear, now my complete lack of knowledge will be apparent.  What is zebra, exactly?  I've seen the word throughout the manual and sort of ignored it.  Since both replies to this question asked me if it was running, how do I find that out?

Hi Shelley 

Are you using zebra? Do you have zebra running and is the rebuild_zebra cronjob set up to run?

 Thanks to Chris, I have been able to use the z39.50 search function to
 import MARC records for books, but when I go to search for those books
 in the catalog, they are not found.

 This is what is happening:

 Did z39.50 search by book title;  found record;  clicked on "import"
 Took me to "Add MARC record" page;  clicked on "save";  unable to save
 because 003 field was blank;  clicked field and default value of "OSt"
 appeared;  then able to save record
 Took me to "Items for..." page;  changed item type (y) to appropriate
 value;  unable to add barcode (p) because I don't have labels yet;
 clicked "add item";  record appeared at top of page

 Then, if I type the title (or author or ISBN #) into the "search the
 catalog" box on home page, I get "no results found"

 Tried clicking on "More" at top of home page;  clicked "Cataloging"
 and typed title into that search box
 It says "no results found", but right under that, the record appears
 in "Biblios in Reservoir";  if I click on "Add biblio", it takes me
 right back to the "Add MARC record" page and the circle repeats!

 Wondering what error I made or what step I missed.  Could it be the
 003 MARC record field where I used the default value because we don't
 have a control number identifier?  Or could it be because I couldn't
 put in a bar code yet?
 I'm stuck - can anyone help me?

 Thanks, Shelley
