I'm a bit embarrassed to think that you have to downgrade an LTS operating system to make the recommended version of Koha work. So I took a brand new 16.04LTS server and installed koha-16.05.01.tar.gz which un-tars as 3.22.07. Not easy. Mostly dependencies. Tried koha.oldstable and koha.stable with no success -- HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench is more than problematic, libbusiness-isbn-perl is already the newest version (2.010-1ubuntu2) and libtest-www-mechanize-perl is already the newest version (1.42-1) -- but above all Test::DBIx::Class is a headache compiling from CPAN. Finally got things up and running, but ... MySQL 5.7 was only happy with our import from 3.8 -- 3.16 failed. Single non-lending library, 40,000 biblios, 120,000 items, sql dump (clean, no logs etc) just under half a gig. Memcached installed. First impressions: using Zebra works but is very slow (top shows single core of CPU overloaded.) I want to try "elastic search" but need more time to work on it... No need to tell me not to use tarballs (been there, been told; lost cause, I love simplicity.)

trying to understand zebra results
by Nicholas van Oudtshoorn 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hello all! Here at PBC, I'm in the process of trying to relink all of our biblios to the right authority files. Somehow, they were an /incredible/ mess. I've created the authority records okay, but when trying to run link_bibs_to_authorities.pl, it links them to the wrong places. Investigating, it seems like zebra isn't giving the right search results back. I can confirm this in yaz-client using the query that is created by koha. Searching for "Bentley, Peter, Ed." returns 4 results, only two of which are close. Actually, the record I'm trying to match is "Bentley, Peter, (Ed.)" - the last option. Interestingly enough, if I search for "Bentley, 3432531531532513985735981<anything at all here>" it will also show me the same four results. So does searching for "Bentley 513513531513515151". But searching for "Bentleyr435435151551251" shows no results, as I would expect. Am afraid I'm stumped here. PQF seems quite horrendously confusing. What do the numbers mean, in what context etc. Tried reading the indexdata manual, and still have no clue! Can anyone shed any light?

New script offered: update_framework_code
by Nicholas van Oudtshoorn 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi everyone, I've been trying to tidy up our data, and found that somehow all of the frameworks for biblios were rest to "Default". This script runs through all the biblios and tries to match 942c (item type) to framework codes. There's an associative array in the script that would have to be edited depending on what one's frameworks/mappings are. Just thought I'd share - in case it's of use to anyone. Nick

New script offered: remove_all_authority_links.pl
by Nicholas van Oudtshoorn 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi everyone, Not sure if this would be of any use to anyone, but I've found it useful, so wanted to share. Basically, this script runs through and unlinks biblios from authority records. There's a list of fields in there, and any subfield 9 data is simply deleted.. Nick
