[Koha] z3950 problem in 2.0.0pre2

[Chris Michalak]

Lars,

Yes I am able to import data from a z3950 server. I'm very new to Koha
and library software in general so my experience is limited. I tried
about a half dozen different things and I don't remember everything I
did. Of those things I'm sure only 1-2 had anything to do with my
success!

One change I remember making is setting the MARC type field for the LOC
server to USMARC (it defaults to a NULL value). You may want to try
doing this if you haven't already.

For the record, here is what I get in the processz3950queue log file
after a successful lookup :

LOC ==> USMARC at
/usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 156.
LOC ==> answered : 1 found at
/usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 170.
Processing isbn="0201648652" at LOC z3950.loc.gov:7090 voyager USMARC (1
forks)
    z3950.loc.gov:7090 done.

If I decide to do a clean install again I will try to document exactly
what I do to get things to run and send you the info. However I'm
probably going to set this project aside for a little while and wait for
a future release of Koha.

I hope things work out for you!

Chris
