[Koha] Ghost records
Hello all. Koha v. 3.00.00.107 Zebra 2.0.34 We're having a problem with ghost records in the index. The Zebra index is rebuilt every night, but still when searching, I'll pull up two records: one that has been deleted and one that is real. The public receives a 404 error. I receive Can't call method "fields" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/catalogue/MARCdetail.pl line 123. Has anyone solved this problem? Will upgrading solve the problem or just compound? Thanx.

[Koha] Ghost records
I've got ghost records causing errors in a database transfer. I can't pull up these items in the staff interface. Is there another way to pull up these records and purge the last vestiges to get the database clean? We're upgrading from 3.0 to 3.6. Thanx.

That could lead to duplicated records, and some deleted records to still appear in search results and hence the (fixed in master :-D) 404 error for asking for inexistent record retreival when you click on them.

Re: [Koha] Ghost records
Hello Lenora, We had the same problem. You could verify your .../biblio/record.abs file and be sure that you index only one field, containing the biblionumber in the "local-number" index (the biblionumber is stored in 001 in our configuration). Our problem was : melm 001local-number,local-number:n .. melm 035$a local-number,local-number:n We had two fields indexed in "local-number" and we had "ghost entries". We have corrected in : melm 001local-number,local-number:n .. melm 035$a identifier-other,identifier-other:n Reindex and it was the end of the fabulous story of ghost entries. I hope this will help you. Regards Bernard Lenora Oftedahl a écrit : > Hello all. > > Koha v. 3.00.00.107 > Zebra 2.0.34 > > We're having a problem with ghost records in the index.

Perhaps its just out of my knowledge's scope, by I don't see the problem of having two different fields indexed under the same name, I mean, I'd think both would match the same record and thus not be shown twice. I'd rather think of a weird coincidence. I'm sorry if my confusion just makes the situation more obscure.

I don't really understand how Zebra works, but I do know that every entry in the local-number index is considered a "separate" record. So if record has two fields that appear in the local-number index, the Zebra index will store two copies of the record (this is where the search results in Koha come from, not from the database). At some point I will submit a patch changing the suggestion for the 035 index, since uncommenting the "melm 035" line as it stands now in the MARC21 record.abs is pretty much guaranteed to corrupt your Zebra indexes.

I guess the magic property might have to do with this in zebra-*.cfg: recordId: (bib1,Local-number) i suppose it is the value used as interal ID for the record. I'd think it is a bug in zebra or th eway we use it. Regards To+ ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Re: [Koha] Ghost records
Lenora- I have seen something similar when the index is 'off'. Often a rebuild of the index clears this up. i.e. perl rebuild_zebra.pl -b -x -v -r -Joy Nelson Migration Specialist ByWater Solutions From: Chris Cormack To: Lenora Oftedahl Cc: koha-user Sent: Monday, April 9, 2012 4:46 PM Subject: Re: [Koha] Ghost records On 10 April 2012 09:42, Lenora Oftedahl wrote: > As far as I can tell, they aren't even biblios anymore.
