[Koha] One biblio record not visible in staff interface or OPAC

[library at ssst.edu.ba]

I am slowly continuing to add the titles I had cataloged this year in our in-house system, adding most of them via Z39.50, but having to add locally published textbooks manually. I'm grateful to Caroline for sending the little "cheat sheet" of the basic fields for cataloging in MARC21, those were very helpful. And it turns out that David Nind also once sent instructions on how to run the ./misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl script, which I had forgotten about, so apologies! 

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me; I tried it and got the following result: 

	-bash: ./misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl: No such file or directory

I'm not sure how to proceed from here. Do I need to get this file from somwehere, or create it myself? 


As for cataloging, I've successfully added my latest record and the multiple items, but even after clicking on „Link authorities automatically“, when I click on the authors in the OPAC I get the „This authority is not used in any records“. This is true for both manually added records and Z39.50; I looked them up to make sure. Same with subjects. 

Is there an extra step I'm not doing that would link these authorities to the records? I'm also still unable to get the UDC classification to appear in OPAC instead of Dewey and LOC. 


Best regards

Hi Katrin, 

I didn't mean to ignore the list; I just got back from a week-long Erasmus staff mobility stay in Sevilla. They have amazing libraries! 

Thank you for the link to the instructions, I will check it out, and will probably be back with more questions. 

Best regards

I thought this would be an automatic change during the next installation. If I absolutely must I will do it, but I would really like to avoid having to create yet another instance and to have to remake all the html customizations and CSS for the OPAC.

For exporting your existing database, it's much easier to use a tool like mysqldump. Some instructions can be found here, they are for moving from one server to another, but moving from one instance to another would be similar:

Hope this helps,
