<div dir="ltr">Good day all,<br><br><br>First thank you Ted for explaining about the Yaz Client.<br><br>I tested on my windows machine, which has no Koha installed but on the same network as the Koha server, and the records were found and retrieved very quickly.<br>
<br>Now this makes me think that perhaps it is a proxy issue on ubuntu or not. I remember I had to add a proxy on some other ubuntu servers. I will give it a try.<br><br>For those who may experience such problem, kindly follow the code below to see if it is fast to retrieve.<br>

Susan,<br>
<br>
Assuming you have the Yaz-client installed, you can connect to OCLC like this:<br>
<br>
~$yaz-client <a href="http://zcat.oclc.org:210/olucworldcat" target="_blank">zcat.oclc.org:210/olucworldcat</a> -u username/password<br>
<br>
If successful, this will report something like below and take you to<br>
the yaz prompt:<br>
<br>
Authentication set to Open (user/password)<br>
Connecting...OK.<br>
Sent initrequest.<br>
Connection accepted by v3 target.<br>
......<br>
<br>
<br>
Then from the Yaz prompt:<br>
<br>
Z>f @attr 1=7 9780226895109<br>
Sent searchRequest.<br>
Received SearchResponse.<br>
Search was a success.<br>
Number of hits: 2, setno 5<br>
Result Set Status: 0<br>
records returned: 0<br>
Elapsed: 0.143152<br>
Z>show 1<br>
<br>
Which will display the record.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
<br>
Ted<br>
