Re: [CODE4LIB] Help with Catmandu MARC import to CouchDB

[Francis Kayiwa]

Happy New Year.

It "just worked" for me on first pass.
I don't have a Windows PC handy but as is oft the case in these 
situations. Test to make sure that Perl and CouchDB are in your path. 
Especially since you mention below that convert to JSON worked without a 
problem.

Conversely... the Catmandu guys have a ready made VM which Catmandu 
installed in it. I'd think it'd be cool for this type of thing.

So install virtualbox

https://www.virtualbox.org/

Then import this into your Virtualbox.

Thanks Francis!

Here it is. It's probably a Marc-8 file, given that it's output from III. So I 
should probably run it thru a fix?  My first reaction would be to pass it thru 
MARCEdit.

I got the convert to JSON to work after I added the space around the <.  But 
that didn't seem to fix the CouchDB issue.

Hi - I'm trying to use catmandu to build a copy of my III authorities database 
in CouchDB, queryable by REST.

I'm working in Windows 7.

I've successfully been able to import MARC bib records (from an ebook set) into 
my database, but I'm failing when trying with the authority records.  I'm 
assuming that might be because of validation and what fields exist in the 
authority records.
Here's my error message:
C:\Perl>catmandu convert MARC to JSON
<c:\Users\charper\Documents\Authorities\small\msplit00000000.mrc
No Perl script found in input


Care to share the mrc file to see if I'd get the same results?

Also I would think a space between the < and c:\ would be needed.

Here's a sample MARC authority converted to MARcEDIT .mrk:  (looks
like I could have started with a simpler record)
