[Koha] exported items catalogue search

So you can see the data in the reservoir and via SQL, but not in the index.

Be aware between the database and the staff client / OPAC view there is 
a layer called Zebra index. If the data is not correctly indexed you 
will not be able to search for it. So the second part of my last e-mail 
seems to be the case and there is something wrong with your Zebra index, 
so I suggest to reindex your data.

If you have installed Koha using Debian packages, the command is as follows:

$ INSTANCE="NameOfYourKohaInstance"
$ sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -v --full $INSTANCE

Was there no error message?

If you reindex and still don't find anything it is often because the 
permissions in the following directories are wrong (because you maybe 
executed "koha-rebuild-zebra" as Linux user "root" instead of using sudo).

So what are the permissions, owners, groups in the following directories:

$ INSTANCE="NameOfYourKohaInstance"
$ ls -al /var/lib/koha/$INSTANCE/authorities/*
$ ls -al /var/lib/koha/$INSTANCE/biblios/*
$ ls -al /var/lock/koha/$INSTANCE/rebuild

 > I imported items from Z39.50 and added items for them but
 > they are also going in reservoir not in catalog.

When importing some record via Z39.50 the record should go to the 
reservoir and from there directly into the catalogue - so when using the 
subtab "Cataloging search" you should see two entries for the same record:

1 result(s) found in catalog, 1 result(s) found in reservoir

If this is not the case then I suggest as above: something with your 
indexing is wrong. Maybe the index cannot write the new record onto disk 
because of wrong permissions.

 > kindly help me to move all items to catalog.

As you can see in the screenshot you sent the import showed "Number of 
items added: 0" so I assume there is either

a) something wrong with your original MARC 21 data (you need to included 
correct MARC 952 tags and subfields)

b) or you missed to answer the questions in section "Check for embedded 
item record data?" in the Koha menu "Tools > Stage MARC records for 
import" resp. "Item processing" in Koha menu "Tools > Staged MARC record 
management".

Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael
