Paul:<br>
<br>
Thank you for your response! I followed the suggested procedure, and
it went mostly as planned. However, I came across a few glitches---<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>After installing Koha 2.0, I deleted the tables in the Koha
database, and imported the data from our old Koha - all went well.</li>
<li>I then ran updatedatabase from /scripts/misc/updater -- all went
well. <br>
</li>
<li>After using mysqldump to import the MARC parameter tables (it
took about 10 minutes to complete) I opened Koha to see about modifying
the MARC tables. However, there were no default tags listed anywhere -
even in the pull-down selectors. So, I checked the database -- and
there were MARC tables there, along with my original data. I was unsure
what to modify at this point, so I continued to the next step.<br>
</li>
<li>There was no updatedb2marc.pl script in my /scripts/misc
directory. However, there was a koha2marc script. I assumed this was
the new name for updatedb2marc.pl, and so I used it. (The process took
about 10 mins)<br>
</li>
<li>When I finally ran Koha, the OPAC seemed to work fine,
searching/finding/and displaying books in our catalogue. <br>
</li>
<li>However, in the INTRANET, the MARC search has no fields or
subfields. Under Parameters, there are no MARC tags for Structure or
Links.</li>
<li>I ran a MARC check, and it says that itemnum, itemtype,
homebranch, holdingbranch, biblio and biblionumber are not mapped.</li>
</ul>
As far as I can discern, there are four possible solutions to my
problem: 1) Find updatedb2marc.pl somewhere since it did not come with
my distribution. 2) Use something other than mysqldump for importing
the parameter tables. 3) Perhaps I was supposed to add tags after
adding the MARC parameter tables, and I didn't know how. 4) Perhaps
everything went as it is supposed to, and now I have to find a way to
fix the items that aren't mapped. I have no idea how to do this.<br>
<br>
Anyway, this is an update of today's work....<br>
<br>
Thanks again!<br>

It is summer, and time for our school KOHA upgrade from 1.3.2 to 2.0!
I have 2.0 installed and working on a new machine, and I have left the
old 1.3.2 library machine in place -untouched- until I complete the
transition - just to be sure the data is safe. My plan is to save the
data on the old machine using mysqldump - then transfer it to the new
machine.
<br>
<br>
As of my last inquiry about the process of upgrading (August 2003)
there was no script that would completely handle the process. At that
point, upgrading involved:
<br>
<br>
* run update database
<br>
* import MARC parameter tables
<br>
* modify MARC parameter tables
<br>
* run updatedb2marc.pl
<br>
<br>
Should I still use this process? </blockquote>
<br>
yes.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Would I start by importing my old database
into mysql?
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
yes, of course.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Are the above commands included with 2.0?
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
MARC parameters tables are in scripts/misc/marc_datas/marc21_en
<br>
updatedb2marc.pl is in scripts/misc/
<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite"> Are there documents available to help with
the upgrade from 1.2.3 to 2.0?
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
no everything is done by the updatedatabase, except MARC populating,
that's why you must populate the DB manually.
