Multi-DB Setup
by Roche III, Edward 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Good Afternoon All I had a meeting with the librarians last evening and some questions came up? One that seems to be a major thing issue is that fact that most of our barcodes overlap from branch to branch. I read Doug Dearden and Scott Owens posts about multiple branches and DBs and it raise a question in my mind of how many separate DB's can you have running on one server before it becomes a performance hit? We have 7 libraries with an average of 16k items/library. If I put all 7 DBs on server what server specs should I be looking at? If anyone has a similar situation and would like to share their experience please do so. Not sure if this should be on the user side or not, if so please let know and I will ask them as well.

Hold slip/notice can't be printed
by Irma Birchall 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi, Koha version: 3.00.00.107 We can't print the hold notice slips.. It appears that the hold-transfer-slip.pl file is missing and we can't find the hold-transfer-slip.tmpl file as well for that matter. Any suggestions? Thank you. Irma

Upgrade Hosted Installation
by C W Nel 07 Apr '09

Is there a specific procedure to follow to upgrade a hosted installation? With other words, we use different ports and databases, but the same codebase on the same server. Thanks

RFID reader in browser with data from Koha
by Dobrica Pavlinusic 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Back in October, I worked a bit on RFID reader protocol as described in http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2008-October/008395.html Now, I have something to show: http://blog.rot13.org/2009/04/comet_experiment_rfid_reader_with_koha_data_i… In the end, it will probably be Koha add-on to support user cards and items checkout/checkin, but I'm wondering if this is interest in occasional e-mail from me about status of this on koha-devel since I didn't really got any response last time. --- Dobrica Pavlinusic 2share!2flame dpavlin(a)rot13.org Unix addict.

RFC: decide on one OAI-PMH server implementation
by Galen Charlton 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, I have pushed Frédéric Demians OAI-PMH server to HEAD. We now have two OAI-PMH servers, and I propose that we replace the older one with Frédéric's new code for the following reasons: * Unlike the older implementation, it is based on an OAI-PMH module (HTTP::OAI) that is in CPAN and is actively updated. * It is easier to add new metadata formats to HTTP::OAI based servers - rather than writing code to implement the new format, only a new XSLT to convert from MARCXML to the desired format is required. Frédéric's patch demonstrates that by adding support for MARCXML. * The new implementation is more compact, requiring only about 500 lines of non-CPAN code as compared to about 1800 for the older implementation. * The newer version acts as a drop-in replacement for the older implementation. I ask all interested developers to test and compare the two OAI implementations and provide feedback. If I receive no feedback or sufficient reasons to not proceed with this proposal, I will remove the older implementation from HEAD after a week has passed.
