Hello all,
We're in the middle of migrating MARC data to Koha. We tried importing
serials data into Koha and a record that had 1900+ items attached did
not import. I found the record and tested importing it, removing items
until it would import and found out that 1238 was the maximum number of
items I could import with one MARC record. Can anyone tell me if there
is a way to configure the import to accept more items?
I used bulkmarcimport.pl on Koha 3.0.1, running on Debian Lenny.
Also, our old ILS has a database issue that results in incomplete export
of records created from original cataloging. These records are missing
008 fields. We're working out a method of exporting the data from the
back end and splicing it back into the MARC before import, but the data
imports into Koha without announced or noticeable errors. I wonder if
we're wasting our time. Does Koha use the 008 field for anything?
