The only reliable way to link auth_headings and bibs it to do it via addbiblio.pl on the /admin panel. 

i am personally curious about this problem...

i successfully used the link_bibs_to_authorities.pl script to link 130,000 auth-records to around 150,000 bibs, 

... the script did a pretty good job, with no problems

It uses the zebra Simplesearch() function and a lot of other built in functionality built around the Addbiblio.pl and C4::Search.pm scripts.

i would attempt to understand *why and where* your link_bibs_to_authorities.pl script is breaking first
then you can decide to correct that bug, or write your own script from scratch

have you done that step yet?

fyi: if you log your bug, i'll take a look at it...

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
