[Koha] Migration from 2.2.5 to 3.4 - call numbers and item update
Thanks to Everyone who replied - the system is now coming together . I upgraded to 3.00 and imported the database, and followed the processes outlined in the http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Upgrading_2.2 document. I have two remaining issues: In the Mysql database (prior to running any scripts etc), the call numbers seemed to be in the 082 field, judging by the contents of the `tag` and `subfieldvalue` fields of the `marc_subfield_tag' file, not in the `itemcallnumber` field of the `items` file. After running the process detailed in the upgrade document, the call numbers dont' appear in the catalogue. They seem to have been moved to a file ' temp_upg_biblioitems_call_num. Any advice on how I can get these call numbers indexed properly? Also, when I try to add an item, the process fails with an error. In the error log, it refers to the record wrapper missing at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/MARC/file/XML.pm. Thanks again, Peter Thompson Whenever I add an item Peter Thompson Database Administrator Information Technology Communications Unit ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

The process was a bit contorted though, since it involved change of hardware. 1. Installed Debian on the new system, 2. installed Koha 3.4, (as if it was a new install), 3. Restored the sqldump from the old installation. 4. Started Koha. Koha script did the required things at first login. The perlscript you ask about is a new feature - which will tell you if all required perl modules required for koha are installed. HTH. -- Mahesh T.

Hi everyone: As a former IT director for a library system that was planning to implement Koha, but subsequently chose an alternate path, I would recommend you approach this topic with delicacy, What is said publicly and what truly happened is not always the same story. I would not publicly discuss all aspects of what occurred with me and my former site, and the same is true for any library in this situation. It may be that discussing issues from two years ago is not productive for anyone - especially the hard working librarians in New Jersey about whom you'd be speaking. East Brunswick was an early PTFS customer and contributed ideas and energy to Koha - ideas which we proudly made available to all -- via our public git hub. Some features have been adopted by other Koha users -- some features have not. East Brunswick did indeed find Koha 3.x slow in areas related to circulation - we worked to address their concerns. They were a Horizon site and the speed of that thick client application was for them too tantalizing and familiar to give up; a web application - like Koha - is in some cases - slower than a thick client - like Horizon. Despite the departure of a valued customer, we have continued to make significant improvements in response time, both with sponsored development from customers and sponsored development by PTFS. We will soon be publishing a new release of LibLime Koha in download format as well as a unified git repository. This release includes the latest performance improvements we have made to the application including the use of the Plack environment which simulates a persistent run time environment for PERL. In that release, circulation transactions are now 1/3 of a second.

Hi Ashok, If I understand your post well, you mean in some instances you see items while in other instances in the same batch, you see no items. I would advice you check your marc records very well. You may also try the command line bulkmarcimport tool or try upgrading to 3.2.10 and try again.

Re: [Koha] April 13th, 2005 entry
Koha is Koha, LibLime Kohaproduct is a proprietary derivative. Nothing wrong with that - but lets not confuse the 2.

I would not publicly discuss all aspects of what occurred with me and my former site, and the same is true for any library in this situation. It may be that discussing issues from two years ago is not productive for anyone - especially the hard working librarians in New Jersey about whom you'd be speaking. East Brunswick was an early PTFS customer and contributed ideas and energy to Koha - ideas which we proudly made available to all -- via our public git hub. Some features have been adopted by other Koha users -- some features have not. East Brunswick did indeed find Koha 3.x slow in areas related to circulation - we worked to address their concerns. They were a Horizon site and the speed of that thick client application was for them too tantalizing and familiar to give up; a web application - like Koha - is in some cases - slower than a thick client - like Horizon. Despite the departure of a valued customer, we have continued to make significant improvements in response time, both with sponsored development from customers and sponsored development by PTFS. We will soon be publishing a new release of LibLime Koha in download format as well as a unified git repository. This release includes the latest performance improvements we have made to the application including the use of the Plack environment which simulates a persistent run time environment for PERL. In that release, circulation transactions are now 1/3 of a second.
