[Koha] Errors in the MARC bibliographic framework test: itemtype NOT mapped and subfields not in same tabs (UNIMARC)

Hello Aida,


We are UNIMARC users too (in Greece) and came across the same issue 
while evaluating Koha 22.11.

You need to take a couple of steps in order for the MARC bibliographic 
framework test to complete without errors.


However, I just wanted to point something out first: I can see from your 
message that you're using Koha's "Default" framework.

As per the official manual [1], it's a good idea to create a clone of 
the "Default" framework (e.g. name it "Books") and apply any changes to 
your new framework. Then, use that new framework when cataloguing books.

Otherwise you may run into problems if you perform a Koha upgrade later 
on and the "Default" framework's definition for UNIMARC has changed in 
the mean time.


For the first error, in "Administration > Koha to MARC mapping" you 
should keep just one Koha-to-MARC mapping for biblioitems.itemtype (e.g. 
delete the one for subfield 099$t and keep the one for 942$c).


Then, for the second error the easiest way to fix it is (once you've 
created your new framework) to run the following SQL statement 
(replacing <YOUR_FRAMEWORK_CODE> with your new framework's code):

UPDATE marc_subfield_structure SET tab = 4 WHERE frameworkcode = 
"<YOUR_FRAMEWORK_CODE>" AND tagfield LIKE '4%' AND tagsubfield = '0' AND 
tab != 4 ;

This SQL statement will set the "managed in tab" value to '4' for the 
tags you mentioned in your message (it's actually the 0 subfield in each 
tag that's managed in tab 3 by mistake).

Alternatively, you can edit each 4xx$0 subfield manually and set the 
"Managed in tab" dropdown to '4', but it will take longer ;-)


I hope this helps!


Kind regards,

Andreas

I am in Bosnia, and we use UNIMARC, so I chose that as my MARC flavor during the installation. When doing the MARC bibliographic framework test, I got two errors:
