[Koha] Koha 16.05 - Change MARC framework globally on batch of records?

[Craig Butosi]

Hi everyone,

Thanks to everyone who replied. This is exactly what I was looking for. I've tested <UPDATE biblio SET frameworkcode="XX" WHERE biblionumber = 'X'; > , opened the record, saw the framework had changed, then saved it, so the query seems to work fine on at least one record. Thanks Michael.

> or use the touch_all_biblios.pl script

Joy, are there any major risks involved in running this (very useful!) script? (There's always a risk, I know.) Looking at the output, the script reports:

Good: X, Bad: Y (of Z) in T seconds
Accuracy:  N%
Average time per record: T seconds

What would constitute a record going 'bad', say?

All best,

You can update the biblio table with the new framework, but any differences between the old and new frameworks will not be represented in the bibliographic record until you save that record in Koha (or use the touch_all_biblios.pl script)
