[Koha] Software error: Can't call method "branchname" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 1627.

[Tadesse, Bruck]

Dear Karam,

Thanks, Since the update didn’t result in solving the problem, I will revert back for now. I have taken a snapshot of the VM, so it easy to do that. I would still appreciate any advice that would help me resolve the underlying problem of updating the items.

Thanks,
Bruck T.

Hello Bruck,

This query (UPDATE items SET homebranch='LIB', holdingbranch='LIB') )  is very dangerous.

This will set all (homebranch  and holdingbranch )  in your items table to be LIB for all items!

if that is not what you want, then try to retrieve a backup from ( /var/spool/koha ) or anywhere else you store your backups .

Please note that LIB should be one of your branches custom code. so are you sure it is LIB in your Koha installation ?
Regards.

Hi All,

I have just recently upgraded to 17.05 from 16.05 and when I try to edit items on Koha, it throws the following error "Can't call method "branchname" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 1627". I search the archive online saw the advice to update the two fields<https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2017-September/048966.html> (UPDATE items SET homebranch='LIB', holdingbranch='LIB'). I have done that and did the full reindex. But, that does not seem to have helped. Please advise.

Many thanks,
Bruck Tadesse
