[Koha] Errors in the MARC bibliographic framework test: itemtype NOT mapped and subfields not in same tabs (UNIMARC)

[library at ssst.edu.ba]

Hello all, 

Just to send an update; I managed to resolve the errors, thank you! There are others I must work on, but those are for other threads, and also digging through the mailing archives.

Hello Andreas,

thank you; I created a BKS framework but I must say I am not that good with MARC records, as it's been a while since I studied it at uni, and most of my catalog work has been in a simplified in-house system at our library. But as they say it's never too late to learn new things.

I created a Books, Booklets, Workbooks framework; will I have to remove fields from the framework one by one, or are there BKS frameworks for UNIMARC I could import?

I also noticed that under Koha to MARC mapping, it says "If you make any change to the mappings, you must ask your administrator to run misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl". How is that done exactly, in the terminal? Using which command? Thank you in advance!


Best regards

Aida Đikić

Hello Aida,


We are UNIMARC users too (in Greece) and came across the same issue while evaluating Koha 22.11.

You need to take a couple of steps in order for the MARC bibliographic framework test to complete without errors.


However, I just wanted to point something out first: I can see from your message that you're using Koha's "Default" framework.

As per the official manual [1], it's a good idea to create a clone of the "Default" framework (e.g. name it "Books") and apply any changes to your new framework. Then, use that new framework when cataloguing books.

Otherwise you may run into problems if you perform a Koha upgrade later on and the "Default" framework's definition for UNIMARC has changed in the mean time.


For the first error, in "Administration > Koha to MARC mapping" you should keep just one Koha-to-MARC mapping for biblioitems.itemtype (e.g.
delete the one for subfield 099$t and keep the one for 942$c).


Then, for the second error the easiest way to fix it is (once you've created your new framework) to run the following SQL statement (replacing <YOUR_FRAMEWORK_CODE> with your new framework's code):

UPDATE marc_subfield_structure SET tab = 4 WHERE frameworkcode = "<YOUR_FRAMEWORK_CODE>" AND tagfield LIKE '4%' AND tagsubfield = '0' AND tab != 4 ;

This SQL statement will set the "managed in tab" value to '4' for the tags you mentioned in your message (it's actually the 0 subfield in each tag that's managed in tab 3 by mistake).

Alternatively, you can edit each 4xx$0 subfield manually and set the "Managed in tab" dropdown to '4', but it will take longer ;-)


I hope this helps!


Kind regards,

Andreas

I am in Bosnia, and we use UNIMARC, so I chose that as my MARC flavor during the installation. When doing the MARC bibliographic framework test, I got two errors:
