Dear Mr. Vimal,
We have developed the code level multiple /fine slab system for Koha.
Please feel free to contact the undersign for any clarifications.

Thank you Mark for the warning and suggestions. The truth is I've had some
unix experience in the distant past; instead of copying anything, I'd link
so that I could easily revert to the original state.
As I've mentioned before, I use a ready-made VM, the reason that I don't ask
the provider of that image directly is that his (and your) replies will be
available to us all, for all current and future users of his appliance.
/etc/environment is empty in my installation, I've updated
/home/koha/.bashrc instead, as per Ian's instructions.
Kind regards,
Manos
P.S. I do miss the good old unix days when all I had to check was a .profile

Greetings,
DISCLAIMER: THIS FEEDBACK DOES NOT APPLY TO EVERYONE, PLEASE DON'T JUST TRY
THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.
> About your problem *Can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC* Someone in

This is the WRONG solution. Yes, it works, but upgrading your koha in the
future becomes a nightmare!
There are supposed to be two environment variables defined:
$KOHA_CONF
$PERL5LIB
If you do not have these defined, you will encounter problems running Koha
scripts.
(WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DO NOT READING
CAREFULLY.)
*IF* (IF, IF, IF, IF, IF) PERL5LIB is not (I repeat NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT)
defined at all, and given the results of your search:
(DO NOT DO THIS IF PERL5LIB IS DEFINED, BECAUSE YOU COULD BREAK SOMETHING
ELSE!)
$ export PERL5LIB=/home/koha/kohaclone
Follow up questions:
If you have a kohaclone directory, how did you answer the build questions?
If you didn't build this, and it is a virtual machine image, ask the
provider of that image.
One potential workaround, if your system is a koha only system:
Under Ubuntu, and perhaps other debian-based OSes (though I haven't tested
them) you can add to the bottom of /etc/environment (as root):
PERL5LIB=/home/koha/kohaclone
Log out, and log back in, and this will be set for EVERY user on the system.
This is only a good solution if the system is a koha only system. Otherwise,
you will need to modify appropriate rc shell scripts in particular users
home directories to set it.
GPML,
Mark Tompsett

Hi all,
No issues here, just following up in case someone is looking at this thread
in the future.
I updated the database using the sql statement below, and it deleted most of
the 852 datafields. I thought all was well but a week or so later found a
record that still had some 852 datafields in it. Upon investigation I found
a number of records - around 400, and all of them had multiple 852
datafields - at least two per record. I did some experimentation and the
sql statement below only works on those records where there is a single 852
datafield. I tried some variations and found that if I ran this one it
would remove the first 852 datafield:
update biblioitems set marcxml = UpdateXML(marcxml,
'//datafield[@tag="852"][1]', '');
I did a backup, ran the sql statement above several times until it returned
0 records changed (17 in fact, as I had one record with 16 852 datafields).
Each time it ran it stripped off the leading 852 datafield. I then ran this
one to check for any leftovers:
SELECT
ExtractValue (marcxml ,'//datafield[@tag="852"]/*') FROM biblioitems
WHERE marcxml RLIKE '<datafield tag="852"';
It returned zero results.
Ran touch_all_biblios.pl
Zebra indexes rebuilt that night as part of our regular cron job.
All looks good.
- Doug

Hi,
No, whitespace between datafield elements is irrelevant as far as Koha's
parsing of the MARCXML records is concerned.

Hi guys,

Salve!
??? I had to rub me eyes and wonder if I were conflating listservs. :D
Welcome to Koha.
>Every year we need to fill out statistical reports for the state

??? A long time ago when animals could talk, there were no statistics
whatsoever with Koha. Don't worry, there are now. I believe that you have
Paul Poulain to thank for this very simple breakdown, or perhaps Chris
Cormack. Or perhaps I'm mortally offending whoever it actually was a jillion
years ago. The thing is, I asked for it, and the nice developers made it
like RIGHT AWAY with a smile.
??? Your needs should be close to the initial thingy that I asked for, since
we essentially needed the same thing at my tiny olde Library in Western
Massachusetts. If it is in fact what you want, the good news is that you
don't have to screw about with SQL. :D
??? You can get to the bespoke thingy by logging into the
Staff side and clicking
Reports (this has a nifty pie chart on the Bywater Demo, dunno about your
jobby)
Catalogue by itemtype
>We also are interested in finding out the best way to create reports of

??? I would recommend that you boot about one of the demo sites and click
lots of buttons. That way you can get comfy with reports in general. It'll
help you familiarise yourself with what Koha will already run. It also will
make you feel as though you can't possibly break anything, since you can't.
??? That said, I don't think there's a Librarian alive that has all of their
statistical nerdy needs satiated by the little array of preconstructed ones
at hand. That level of nerdiness is a 2 part process. The first thing you
ought do is head to:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library
??? to see if someone has already slapped one together. They prolly have.
There are a mind boggling number of them.
??? if not, then you head on over to the
Staff side
then
Reports
then
Guided Reports
Create from SQL
??? If mah babbling didn't help, there's always the manual.
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/reports.html
??? Nicole did a preso on this, but it was way back at Plano. Perhaps she's
done summat newer lately that the pigeons have buried deep in the Google
results pages.
Cheers,
Brooke

Manos,
P.S. I do miss the good old unix days when all I had to check was a .profile
I'm not entirely sure what has changed. ~/.profile is still an excellent
place to store your environment variables if you use a Bourne shell
derivative.

Dear Friends,
In our library, move to Koha from SOUL ILS is in progress.
Library staff alone are doing the migration process.
We have no technical support from outside.
We successfully transfered bibliographical details and patron details to
Koha.
One problem is with incremental fine system.
Our fine system is that, first ten days .50 paise per day. After that Rs. 1
per day.
Anybody made customization to run incremental fine system?
Pls. share how it solved and help us to work out it.
Regards,
