[Koha] Demand - on Koha import

[Olcese Martina EXT]

Dear Ladies and Sirs,

Following the exchange on the Koha mailing list on bulk upload, I wish to request your advice regarding own import process.

Steps:

1.            We converted our source excel into Marc .mrk format via Marcedit.

2.            and then staged the .mrc file as per instructions on various sites
Home<https://koha-admin.iter.org/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl>  - Tools<https://koha-admin.iter.org/cgi-bin/koha/tools/tools-home.pl> - Stage MARC records for import<https://koha-admin.iter.org/cgi-bin/koha/tools/stage-marc-import.pl>
No profile - Bibliographic - UTF-8 - MARC - 245a matching rule  - replace existing record with incoming record if match- add incoming record if no match  - check imbedded items

3.            The staging of the two sample files was successful:
MARC staging results
Processing bibliographic records
2 records in file
0 records not staged because of MARC error
2 records staged
0 records with at least one match in catalog per matching rule "245"
0 item records found and staged

4.            Yet, the batch import into the catalogue did not work. The import batch into catalog remained blocked at 0%.

Would you please help us to clarify why the process does not work? Is there an error in the .mrk file?


5.                   Further, I notice that the 245a matching rule is not working, as it seems not able to retrieve records with the same title already on Koha

Description: 245a - Match threshold 1000  - Search index Title-cover:w  -  Score 1000  - Tag 245 - subfield a - normalization none
May I ask you either there is a mistake on the setting of the matching rule?


Thank you very much in advance for your kind help.
