[Koha] bulkmarcimport-problems!

[Magdalena Söderqvist]

Hi again! 

Just an update for future reference regarding our problems with bulkmarc import. MJ Ray kindly suggested us to try the following: 

"I now think the parameter to -match needs an index name in front of 
it, with a comma. It then tries to match the tag against it. So 
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/kohasearchindexes.html makes 
me think you actually want -match barcode,999c" 

Sadly, it did not make any difference, same long error message. See beginning of the message below. (Testdatabase version still 3.6.2 on Debian squeeze). Possible bug??

As the koha user:

koha at kohatest:~$ export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml 
koha at kohatest:~$ 
koha at kohatest:~$ cd /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools 
koha at kohatest:/usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools$ perl 
./bulkmarcimport.pl -d -match=barcode,999c -commit 1000 -v -file

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I also tried out the "Stage marc records for import" under "Tools" to see if that might be a way, but while it was swiftly done to upload the file , when it was asked to "Stage" the records (matched on 952$p) it quickly jumped to 1% and then nothing happened for 20 minutes. And when trying to abort I got a software error message, see below - luckily still on a test database. 

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 693.

I think we're going to have to pay someone to take closer look at this - Magnus, beware :) 

Cheers,

Well, -d deletes the old biblios before importing the file, but the 
database is refusing because some of them have issued items.

I got similar errors when trying to use -match earlier today. I 
thought it was just my mistake, but maybe it's not. Does anyone have 
an insight into this? I think I'll next get chance to investigate it 
next Wednesday, which is quite a wait. 

Hope that informs,
