https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28128 Bug ID: 28128 Summary: Cataloging Record Uploading Process Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 20.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: P5 - low Component: Tools Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cmkelleymls@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org About three months ago, my library moved its Koha ILS to a new machine. The transition was not ideal but it was smooth enough. We still catalog a bit on the old machine and last week we extracted and uploaded a bunch of records to the new machine. The upload process stalled. After days of trying to find out why the uploading process would stall, I noticed that the 952 $7 in a few records was miscoded as a 952 $9 instead. Once I reverted the 952 $9 to 952 $7, all was well. This also happened when a transfer record had a 999 field. If the record number in 999 $c and 999 $d did not exist, the uploading processing would stall. So I deleted the 999 fields or corrected them to what was in the other copy of the ILS; and again all was well. I have been reading online about this phenomenon and I haven't found a reason or solution to the stall. Mind you, other operations continue to run: the editing of existing records and the entry of new records; circulation; calendar changes, etc. It's just the automatic record uploading through the user interface that stalls. Well, here are two possible solutions: check for 952 $9 fields and 999 fields in the records that are to be uploaded. They may be the source of stall. Their presence may not be the only source, mind you, but their presence is a possibility. P. S. It would be nice if instead of stalling, the uploader would write the MARC record to some sort of upload log with a reason; and then try uploading the next record. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
