[Koha] z395_search.pl takes 20 seconds to retrieve data based on an ISBN

[Ted Lawless]

Susan,

Assuming you have the Yaz-client installed, you can connect to OCLC like this:

~$yaz-client zcat.oclc.org:210/olucworldcat -u username/password

If successful, this will report something like below and take you to
the yaz prompt:

Authentication set to Open (user/password)
Connecting...OK.
Sent initrequest.
Connection accepted by v3 target.
......


Then from the Yaz prompt:

Z>f @attr 1=7 9780226895109
Sent searchRequest.
Received SearchResponse.
Search was a success.
Number of hits: 2, setno 5
Result Set Status: 0
records returned: 0
Elapsed: 0.143152
Z>show 1

Which will display the record.


Hope this helps,

Ted
