[Koha] question about invalid MARC authority type

[Ricardo Dias Marques]

Following up to my own post below, I have researched this issue a bit
further ("invalid authority types Not all authority types referred to
by the frameworks are defined" error message, when running the "MARC
Bibliographic framework test") .

As I said in my previous post, I have two Koha configurations:
SETUP 1 - the Koha 3.0 running on openSUSE 10.3 (does NOT have the
error). It's an UNIMARC and "NoZebra" setup.
SETUP 2 - the Koha 3.0.1 running on SLES 10 SP2 (has the error). It's
also an UNIMARC and "NoZebra" setup.


The only differences that I could find, so far, concern the "MARC
subfield structure admin for 700" is:
- the openSUSE 10.3 setup has several fields hidden, while the SLES
setup only has the subfield 9 ("Koha Internal Code") hidden
- the SLES setup has a "| Authority:PER, " snippet for the subfield a
("Entry Element") and is displayed in Tab 7 (the openSUSE one does NOT
have the  "| Authority:PER, " snippet  and has the subfield "a" set
for display on Tab 0)


So, here is the "MARC subfield structure admin for 700" for both setups:

=> SETUP 1 - Koha 3.0 running openSUSE 10.3 (using UNIMARC and
NoZebra). This setup does NOT return the error message during the
test.

Subfield: 9

Subfield: a

Subfield: b

Subfield: d

Subfield: f

Subfield: g

Subfield: p

=> SETUP 2 - Koha 3.0 running SLES 10 SP2 (also using UNIMARC and
NoZebra). This setup *returns* the error message!

By the way, the "Authority MARC subfield structure admin for 200
(authority: )" available at:

http://hostname:8080/cgi-bin/koha/admin/auth_subfields_structure.pl?tagfield=200&authtypecode=

... is exactly the same in both setups (as far as I can tell).


So, I guess that MY QUESTION now is:

Where does the "| Authority:PER, " in the "Constraints" part of
Subfield "a" (Entry Element) come from? I have clicked on the "Edit
Subfields" button on that "MARC subfield structure admin for 700
(framework )" page, and then clicked on the "a" tab (for the "a"
subfield), but I can NOT find that information!  :(

Thanks for your time.
