Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] importing authority records
Hi Chris, hi Jason meanwhile Chris answered further [1] but answering Jason's to keep the thread on this issue together. My library (evaluating Evergreen) is also struggling with (Vandelay) authority batch import and I have emailed this list on exactly the same phenomenon in 1.4.0.6: all fine 'till the actual import and a progress bar that sits still at 0 % and nothing getting imported. Chris: here are some results from trying the same on Dan Scott's 1.6.0.0 virtual image [2] on my iMAC as an 1.6 implementation example and with a small subset of our IISH authority records for the bib record MARC 100 field; this subset is available as test set in the Evergreen SVN [3]: 1) at first same story after selecting just one of the authority records and ask for Import Selected: progress bar sits at 0 % and just trying Validating or Right Mouse Click in a new bib record in the 100 field doesn't do anything 2) then I tried Import all and all of a sudden it did work and all 17 records got reported as Imported (you have to leave the Batch Importer and go back to it again and to Inspect Queue etc. to actually see the change) and trying out in new bib record worked fine too 3) next trials were first a large set of Authority MARC 400 records which did upload but *not* import and then a small subset of the same (someone with SVN access could add that test set - let me know off list) which did *not* import either: progress bar sitting for ever at 0 % (and nothing reported as imported) 4) however: at some point I just tried to use it in a new MARC record and there they were the 400 authority data ??!! So: a dead progress bar sometimes means nothing happened, sometimes it means nothing at all and authority data do find their way into the database. I have no clue what causes all this and inspected the Postgres database log, see no errors (I think) but lack the expertise to interpret what happens or does not happen at that level. Vandelay / batch importing authority records seems an unpredictable roller coaster. Anybody ideas ? I can send you my Postgres log or ay other of the EG logs.

I'm just the cataloger at WJU, and Jeff, our IT guy who did our data migration and Evergreen installation, just accepted a job elsewhere.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] importing authority records - Vandelay in general
Hi All - I can report something similar to what happened to Repke but with batch importing of MARC records rather than authority files. It looks like nothing has imported, as Repke says, progress bar sits at 0% - but when I search for the records, they are there. I have also had to leave Batch Imported and go back in again to Inspect Queue to see that things have actually imported. I haven't reported this before, because it doesn't happen all of the time, sometimes things work exactly as they should. Let me know if I can supply more info. Cynthia W.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] importing authority records
We were having trouble using the authority batch import. The whole process would move along without incident until it came to the progress bar. Then it would sit at 0% and do nothing indefinitely. Last week, we upgraded to 1.4.0.6, and now the progress bar moves a little bit, but then it stalls out again. Our IT department tells me that Evergreen is showing an error related to arn_value. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, what did you do to fix it?
