https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22430 Bug ID: 22430 Summary: importing from a UNIMARC backup will import biblio records but not items Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 18.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: P5 - low Component: MARC Bibliographic record staging/import Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: giuseppe.ciaccio@unige.it QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Target Milestone: --- Play the following backup/restore game: 1) create two empty instances, A and B, both in the UNIMARC flavour; 2) populate A with ten bibliorecords, two of which with associated items; 3) create a backup from A so that only UNIMARC records having items are exported; the backup indeed contains only two records; 4) import the backup into instance B; 5) contrary to expectations, see that B now contains two biblio records but no items associated to them. If I inspect the records in the catalog of B, I see that they are void of the field 995 (https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_%289xx%29#UNIMARC_...). However, the records staged in the temporary area of B during import phase do have that field. So it seems that the UNIMARC item field is correctly fetched when importing the backup in the stage area, but discarded when the staged records are pushed in the catalog. This bug is dangerous because it prevents the backup/restore procedure to work. Backup/restore is a necessary step to preserve the biblio archive in case of hardware/software failures. So this bug may cause a permanent loss of the archive. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
