[Koha] Koha 3.2.7 authority entry is not displaying "Used in" value

[oslo]

Hi

I see a lot of people complaining about this and I had trouble with this
myself. First off there are bugs in Authorities.pl and Biblio.pm where it
does not check to ensure $record or $marc is defined but checks for a value
of -1 (I think???) - I'd hope that will be fixed in 3.6

Anyway if you are creating authorities a lot and they don't turn up in an
authority search but you can search the opac or do a catalogue search and
find biblios with the personal or corporate name e.t.c. attached to it you
probably have a similar problem to me.  I suspect it is because
reindex_zebra.pl failed and the cleanup_database.pl script kicked in and
pruned my failed Authorities (don't know that just suspect it), at the time
the rebuild_zebra.pl -z -a -b -v was giving this error :

**** ERROR : "Can't call method "field" on an undefined value at
C4/Biblio.pm line 359"


You can verify  by recreating one authority then running
bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -z  -a -v

When you search for the authority it will find it with 0 bibs attached.

So to fix this I updated my cron job to do an authorities only re index then
run link_bibs_to_authorities.pl then do a biblio only re-index.

This fixed it for me 100%. I run these as a cron job every 2 mins so my koha
crontab for that section looks like this.

# ZEBRA INDEX UPDATES with -z option, incremental index updates throughout
the day
# for both authorities and bibs
*/2 * * * *  $KOHA_CRON_PATH/../migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -z
>/dev/null
*/2 * * * *  $KOHA_CRON_PATH/../link_bibs_to_authorities.pl >/dev/null
*/2 * * * *  $KOHA_CRON_PATH/../migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -z
>/dev/null

Hope that helps someone
