Zebra: the 'elements zebra::snippet' doesn't work
by Tajoli Zeno 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Hi all, I trying to check my indexes in Zebra. My setup: OS: Debian jessie Koha: 3.20.7 [manual install] Zebra: 2.0.61 [install from IndexData repo] Format: UNIMARC Probably the fact that I use unimarc is relevant but I don't understand where. I do the debug described here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Troubleshooting_Zebra#Why_does_a_search… The result of a working search is: Diagnostic message(s) from database: [25] Specified element set name not valid for specified database -- v2 addinfo 'zebra::snippet' but my ../etc/zebradb/retrieval-info-bib-dom.xml is correct: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <retrievalinfo xmlns="http://indexdata.com/yaz"> <retrieval syntax="unimarc" name="F"> <backend syntax="xml" name="marc"> <marc inputformat="xml" outputformat="marc" inputcharset="utf-8" outputcharset="utf-8"/> </backend> </retrieval> <retrieval syntax="unimarc" name="B"> <backend syntax="xml" name="marc"> <marc inputformat="xml" outputformat="marc" inputcharset="utf-8" outputcharset="utf-8"/> </backend> </retrieval> <retrieval syntax="xml" /> <retrieval syntax="xml" name="index"/> <retrieval syntax="xml" name="marc" identifier="info:srw/schema/1/marcxml-v1.1"/> <retrieval syntax="xml" name="marcxml" identifier="info:srw/schema/1/marcxml-v1.1"/> <retrieval syntax="xml" name="zebra::*"/> </retrievalinfo> Do I need to check in other places for the setup of ' zebra::snippet' ?

Improving Zebra logging
by David Cook 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Hi all: As if you weren't all sick of me going on and on about Zebra. So you may or may not know that the Zebra logs are fairly useless in a package install of Koha. At Prosentient, we don't use package installs much, so I haven't noticed this until now, but here's a tip: If you want to see what requests are being made to Zebra, you can do the following: 1) vi /usr/sbin/koha-start-zebra 2) Under start_zebra_instance, you can change "-v none,fatal,warn" to "-v none,fatal,warn,request" (note that "request" is an undocumented log level but it should work. alternately remove none and requests should appear in the log) 3) sudo koha-zebra-stop 4) sudo koha-zebra-start 5) profit (or at least see the PQF which is sent to the server and whether you're getting errors or OK query responses) This is the kind of additional output you should expect to see: 14:15:00-17/11 zebrasrv(2) [request] Auth idPass kohauser - 14:15:00-17/11 zebrasrv(2) [request] Init OK - ID:81 Name:ZOOM-C/YAZ Version:4.2.30 98864b44c654645bc16b2c54f822dc2e45a93031 14:15:00-17/11 zebrasrv(2) [request] Search biblios OK 0 1 1+0 RPN @attrset Bib-1 @attr 1=1016 @attr 4=6 @attr 5=1 test Anyway, I wouldn't *actually* recommend changing /usr/sbin/koha-start-zebra since that's part of the koha-common package. but maybe someone would be interested in making change to the Zebra commands to allow for different logging levels. Other things to note: koha-zebra-restart isn't the same thing as koha-zebra-stop && koha-zebra-start. If you restart Zebra after changing the flags for daemon or zebrasrv, the changes won't be brought across.it's necessary to stop and start it again. even though the process is actually restarted. it seems to be restarted using the original configuration used when launching daemon in the first place.

feature for bugzilla ?
by Paul Poulain 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hi all, when an entry on bugzilla has a lot of comments, it can take "hours" to read all the thread, find relevant and obsolete comments,... understand who said what and where we are now. Justs have a look at -randomly chosen- http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6934 to see this (only 33 comments, not so hard to follow, but will take a lot of time. Other bugs are really a nightmare !!! ) I was wondering if there could be an Addon, a feature, un plugin, or whatever, that could "obsolete" a comment. An obsoleted comment would be collapsed by default. Anyone can obsolete a comment, it's just to (hopefully) have a thread easier to read. Another option could be to put a color on comment that are relevant. There could be other way to achieve the goal. But currently, one must be highly motivated to work on a sign-off, except if the bug is "new" ! (I suspect that's a reason why some patches are stuck) -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

Apache error logs
by Paul A 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

For the last couple of days, our production server has "gone bonkers" with tens of thousands of the following: [Wed Jan 20 18:41:58 2016] opac-search.pl: Use of uninitialized value $code_wanted in string eq at /usr/share/perl5/MARC/Field.pm line 314. Appears to involve control fields MARC < 10 I have noted that two new (to us) spiders are quite busy, and date-times appear to correspond -- webmeup-crawler.com and ahrefs.com -- but I don't want to libel them before digging deeper (probably end up firewalling them.) It *might* have something to do with ISBD view. Has anyone got any thoughts? Thanks and best regards -- Paul

RFC: Allow to reserve first available item from a group of titles
by Julian Maurice 03 Feb '16

Hi, I'm working on this new feature but I have some concerns about its implementation. I made a small, proof-of-concept, patch, and would love to have some feedback before continuing to work on it. It's in bug 15516 [1] and my concerns are described there, next to the test plan :) Thanks.

RFC for a really new stuff : sharing data worldwide
by Paul Poulain 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Ladies & gentlemen, We're competing more and more against providers that promote a "cloud multi-tenant LMS". Koha is a cloud application (and it is since 2000, long before cloud is born). What does "multi-tenant" mean ? It mean that you'll get access to many resources that are shared worldwide. I think that the "multi-tenancy" is a way for proprietary vendors to lock-in their customers [1]. But the idea of having a worldwide database for some informations is interesting and relevant. Proprietary vendors take care of updating this database. Open Source projects are not working centrally, so we must find another way of creating and maintaining such a database. With this thing in mind, BibLibre has decided to sponsor an intern + some internal resources for next summer dedicated to a project dedicated to sharing data between koha instances worldwide. I wrote a 1st draft of RFC and I'd like to have your feedback: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SharingDatasBetweenKohas_rfc If this project is successful, in the automn version of Koha, we may see a way to share worlwide data between all Koha libraries ! [1] if you're a proprietary vendor and are reading this: I don't mean it's the only reason for multi-tenancy. -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries
