What is the reason to let koha know of the MARC flavour/dialect, if it not able to use the data that each server sends? There must be some functionality behind the dropbox selections, even if it only defines the query statement dialect. Koha needs to know what you are using, so that it knows what field to pull from for the title, and how to index the title in zebra to make it correctly searchable, for example. There are a number of other cases where the differences are a bit deeper than just different field IDs. That's exactly my point! Koha knows a) what MARC flavor my installation is using b) what MARC form each Z39.50 origin accepts requests and supplies its results in It should therefore be able to know what field to pull from for the title etc. I would expect that zebra indexes the various koha tables, not the imported MARC records, i.e. works on data past the mapping phase. Then you would be expecting wrong, it indexes the MARC, which is stored as marcxml in the biblioitems table. If yuo want more in depth on the internals of Koha, it's better on the koha-devel list. Only a small fraction of the over 900 marc fields (most of which are repeatable) and their myriad of subfields (also repeatable) are mapped to columns in the database and stored. The cataloguers on this list will be able to tell you much better than I, but a crosswalk between UNIMARC and MARC21 (or NORMARC, or DANMARC or whatever else) is very hard to pull off, when you have to deal with control fields, indicators etc Chris -- Chris Cormack Catalyst IT Ltd. +64 4 803 2238 PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington 6142, New Zealand ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Re: [Koha] Stable vs maintenance releases?
Cab, They are both stable branches and releases on both are maintenance releases each month. I prefer to think of them as stable and oldstable. With master bein development. 3.4.1 is pretty old I'd say the site needs an update. When we release a new feature release a x.x.0 release we don't kill the previous release tree. So currently we are doing monthly maintenance releases for the 2 stable branches. 3.8.x and 3.6.x, this means people can stick with the latest release of 3.6.x until they have decided they want to move. So we have feature releases, every 6 months and maintenance every 1. The only exception is a security release, if something requires an urgent release we will do that.

Whats the error? I bet its missing the path to the C4 modules Would it have logged somewhere if this failed as a part of the upgrade? No. It isnt run as part of the upgrade, because it only needs to be run in special circumstances, when coming from a pre 3.4.x version to a 3.6.x, and take a long time potentially. From the INSTALL file in the UPGRADE section Koha 3.4.x or later no longer stores items in biblio records.

I asked and was told I could safely ignore those errors from the upgrade command. I actually install KOHA using the apt-get packages on Debian. I've used that to keep it up to date and apply patches as they come out. Cool, it is by far the easiest way to run Koha. Do I need to try to re-run the upgrade to 3.4 or check any specific logs? What you can do is in your report writer, write a report that does SELECT marcxml FROM biblioitems limit 5 That will get you 5 records, you can look at your marcxml and if it has 952 fields in it, the fields were not removed.

Questions: 1) are the 'register' and 'shadow' directories and the files within generated during the zebra indexing? Yes, when the index is created, its created in the shadow, then copied to the register. This means searching doesn't stop while things are being indexed. 2) is it normal for these directories to each be bigger than the size of the entire koha database? Yes, it has to create indexes, on tons and tons of fields. 3) do these directories continue to grow with each reindex?

Yes it is, that's what we have unit testing and regression testing for. You can actually follow the continuous integration testing here http://jenkins.koha-community.org/ . Here is the master branch http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_master/ (which what will be the 3.10.0 release). The other active branches are the 'oldstable' 3.6.x branch of which 3.6.6 has just been released. And the 3.8.x branch, of which 3.8.2 has just been released. This 'bot' jenkins builds and installs a Koha, and runs over 10,000 tests every time anything changes, trying to minimise what is unintentionally broken by any new feature. What this bug is actually referring to is the fact that Koha has been able to work with Solr for nearly 2 years now, but that implementation was a replacement of Zebra. IE removing zebra and adding Solr. This new implementation (which works very well so far) instead allows the Library to choose between Zebra or Solr. IE it is Solr added without removing Zebra support. What is even better is that it allows us to add any number of different indexing engines. A lot of our bugs have tongue and cheek, or ironic names. Some are just silly fun, this is one of my favourites http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5158.

Re: [Koha] Rebuild-zebra stops working very often...
Ahh that is not the zebra error log. But the rebuild zebra one. I think you may
be confusing zebra with the job to rebuild the zebra indexes, they are 2 quite
different things.
However not being able to talk to the database is a fatal error for the rebuild
zebra script. The database failing will also cause all sorts of other errors. I
would get your tech people to look at your database set up. Something very bad
is going wrong there.

am not sure it's related. And there is no time day in the error file, so I

If someone would rather work with me via instant messaging, please send email directly to my email address nice2odie at gmail dot com. I live in USA, in the Central Daylight time. Request; I need to be able to upgrade a PRODUCTION KOHA system to the latest version. There should be a process in place to make this easy. Exactly what version are you running, and how did you install it? The answer to both these questions has a huge bearing on how you upgrade. If you installed via the packages, then apt-get upgrade is all you need to do. If you installed via the tarball and are running a version of Koha released in the last few years (3.2.x or later). Then in the INSTALL file are the instructions on how to upgrade. Of course you should always do your upgrade of any software on your staging server first, and then production. Koha is no exception to that rule. I would have a staging server running the exact version you have on production, then upgrade that. If it all goes well, do it on production.

What might be easier is: UPDATE issuingrules SET hardduedate = '-YY-ZZ' WHERE hardduedate = '2012-05-17'; Where '-YY-ZZ' is the new global due date you want to set for all materials.

Re: [Koha] Introduction and Database Transfer Question
Hi Robert, and welcome. The most likely reason you are getting the installer screen is version differences between the Kohas. If the new server has a newer kohaversion number than what is in the .sql the web installer will kick in to upgrade the db. That's what I would check.

I'm working with a library services company preparing to help some of our member libraries test/migrate to Koha. Thanks to contributions here, I've gotten around a couple of vexing problems. So, first, thanks to the everyone for sharing experiences! I have question related to transferring a Koha database from one server to another. I'm using the koha-common Debian packages (3.6.4). I've configured a Debian virtual server (32-bit Debian Squeeze) with all the Koha requirements. It's all running smoothly. I've imported patron and bibliographic data and dome some basic playing with the system. All is well. To test moving the Koha database to a separate machine, I've created a second Koha instance. I have used mysqldump to create a .sql file of the complete database contents. Then I've re-populated the second instance's database using the mysql utility, logging in as the second instance user. When I test access to the second instance, all appears well (except that I need to learn to re-index the second instance data with Zebra--on the way there). I can login to Koha's staff interface and see the patron and bib data. When I try the same procedure, except by transferring the .sql file to a separate computer (64-bit Debian Squeeze; otherwise same setup). I re-populate the new Koha instance there, and can see all the data using the mysql utility (or MySQL Workbench from outside the computer). However, when I try to login to Koha's staff interface, I get the initial web installer screen instead of a staff login screen. If I reload the instance's base Koha database (from a separate/backup .sql file), I can login fine. Try re-loading the real data from the original .sql file, I get the same web installer interface problem. I've probably missed a piece of knowledge somewhere along the learning curve. Hopefully not something obvious. And not something I missed in searching the list archives. Is there some 32/64-bit Debian issue (maybe a character set/code page discrepancy) inherent in the two different versions that might cause the problem? My logical mind says all the database fields should be set correctly in either case, so that's all I can think it might be. Does anybody working with the Debian packages of koha-common have an idea what I might be doing wrong? If I need to be smacked for trying to move a file from 32-bit to 64-bit OS, smack gently ;-) .

LCCN was the first e-journal to be issued by the Library of Congress. It was first published in January 1993 and ran until June 2008. After a hiatus of nearly four years, we are reviving the publication in order to share informal news and background stories from LC's technical processing staff with the library community. Policy updates and other official news will continue to be posted on our Cataloging and Acquisitions Website at http://www.loc.gov/aba/ The Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate is a very different place in April 2012 than it was in June 2008. We have completely redesigned our workflows and merged acquisitions and cataloging tasks; tested and agreed to implement RDA: Resource Description and Access in conjunction with the other U.S. national libraries, probably in March 2013; and begun inputting metadata in original scripts directly to our integrated library system. As staffing has decreased from 600 in 2008 to just under 500 employees today, ABA is a leaner, more efficient organization. We proved that assertion by our record-high cataloging production in 2010 and 2011 and record acquisitions in 2011. Moreover, a career in technical processing at LC is more challenging and intriguing than ever, as LCCN's new series A Day in the Life of ... shows. Welcome to the new LCCN! Beacher J.

Re: [Koha] Let Unimarc and USmarc work together
Just a note Koha supports MARC21, UNIMARC and NORMARC. But like Zeno says supporting records of all three (and more) in one installation would be a decent amount of work. And therefore quite unlikely to be done unless someone is willing to fund the work. Chris On Apr 28, 2012 8:58 PM, taj...@cilea.it wrote: Hi Peter Oggetto: [Koha] Let Unimarc and USmarc work together Dear developer, Koha is a wonderful library system. The current version just allows to choose either UNIMARC or USMARC. How can let Koha support to choose both UNIMARC and USMARC? I hope the future version can let more option on marc framework. In the near future Koha will support better the two standard. You can help on this bug for this topic: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6536 But it is impossible to plan now to support records in both UNIMARC and MARC21 format together in the same installation. For example tag 100 has a specific meaning (Main Author as persone) in MARC21 and a very different in UNIMAC (GENERAL PROCESSING DATA, as 008 in MARC21). In theory it is possible but it is very huge change and non ILS has now this feature (thing about Evergreen, Aleph500, Millennium, etc.).
