[Koha] Koha Reservoir Problem

[Gyaneshwar Narayan Junior]

Dear Koha community,

 

I am resending this message as it has not appeared in my inbox and may not
be recognising my email address - my apologies if this is your second copy. 

 

Please can you help me with this reservoir problem: we recently upgraded to
3.04.02.000 after a server meltdown with the previous version. 

 

This is not a live library - I use Koha for teaching cataloguing, and am
trying to populate the branch library with downloaded records (so students
can learn how to amend them to build their familiarity with the Cataloguing
Module).  

 

However, all the records I download using Z39.50 are stuck in the reservoir
and do not enter the catalogue. In the previous version records went to both
locations. 

 

Every keyword Catalogue search I do says: 

 

"No results found

Biblios in reservoir"

There are certainly items in the reservoir, but the only options for these
are

Preview: MARC/Card and Add Biblio.

 

How do I transfer items from the Reservoir to the Catalogue?

 

I have read the section in the Koha 3.2 manual about Staged MARC Records,
but I do not know how to save files with an .mrc file extension, and it
would take

forever with each record. It worked so neatly before.    

 

I could not find anything on this in the Koha 3.4 Manual - did I miss
something?

 

Viktor mentioned a related problem in a posting in June, but the Bug 3069

(http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3069) he linked to
does not have a solution yet. 

 

I must be missing something as no library could function with items only
showing in the reservoir, and it does not seem to have caused undue concern
on the list. 

 

Confession: currently I have a large number of unread messages in my Koha
email folder, but I can't find anything more in the Koha community archive.
I also used the Google search tool set up by Lori, which was helpful but did
not locate a fix. There is a 2008 posting which says that rebuild_zebra
needs to be running smoothly - could that be the problem? My IT guy has just
gone home so I can't check. 

 

Have we missed something in the setup? How can I get these records
transferred easily to the catalogue? 

 

There is an assignment on this which is due shortly, so I need to get it
fixed soon. 

 

Thanks in advance
