Everyone,
I apologize if this is the wrong list for this question. There is considerable change in the bulkmarcimport.pl script and it seems to be written to handle authorities as well as bibliographic records. I loaded my authority records using bulkauthimport.pl as I did in 3.1, and it worked fine, but I was wondering if I should be using bulkmarcimport.pl for both authorities and biblios (in other words, is bulkauthimport.pl being deprecated?)

I also still have the need to be able to retain our system identification numbers from the 001 as the biblio.biblionumber because it is used to tie our analytics to the host record and it is used in links to non-MARC databases. I see that there is still /usr/share/koha/bin/batchImportMARCWithBiblionumbers.pl and 3.2's bulkmarcimport.pl does seem to allow for a "-k" "keepids" option (although the script does state that is is .."for authorities, where 001 contains the authid for Koha, that can contain a very valuable info for authorities coming from LOC or BNF. useless for biblios probably") I tried unsuccessfully to use that option for biblios, and wondered if anyone else was working on a similar problem.

Thanks in advance.
