After the script completed, I re-indexed zebra and ran a search from the OPAC, I got results but every biblio in all the results always say item is not available, despite the items being displayed in the details page.

I suspect that the changed mappings are the root cause of the problem

To check the item data has been removed, do a
SELECT marcxml FROM biblioitems limit 1;

There should be no item data in there.


Thanks so much for the reply. Using your command, I can verify the items has been removed from biblioitems. And I believe the mappings are the cause of the problem.

When I put 952bdop in the AlternateHoldingsField systems preferences (the permanent location is 952$d while holdingbranch is 952$b, barcode is 952$p) the OPAC now shows item availability.

Any advice to correct the mappings? If I do leave the system in this state, would it have any repercussions in the future?

Thanks
