zebraqueue in daemon mode
by Eric Bégin 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi (again), I'm wondering which tasks the zebraqueue.pl script should perform. I initially though that running it in daemon mode was replace the need to call rebuild_zebra script. It seems to work fine when we are adding biblios or authorities, but it looks like it doesn't remove a biblio (didn't try the authority yet) from the zebra index when we delete it from Koha's catalogue. I find this weird since the corresponding 'recordDelete' entry of zebraqueue table has its 'done' value to 1. Is this a bug or the normal behavior? If this is a problem on my setup, where should I look cause I don't have anything in the log files (koha-zebraqueue.err and koha-zebraqueue-output.log) Thanks, Eric

Copy Information
by Roche III, Edward 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I was spot checking a couple of my imported records and came across one that said it had no copies. I then double check our current application and found that there is (1) copy of the book. Does anyone know which field/s holds this information? Thanks Ed Edward J.

Coverity - creating OS software maps - (automated defect detection)
by Irma Birchall 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Hi, This is not exactly what a librarian spends her time reading about, but the article caught my attention... The article: "A Better Grip on Open Source Projects?" http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3803471/A+Better+Grip+on+Op en+Source+Projects.htm New effort by vendor Coverity promises to map over 2,500 open source apps. http://scan.coverity.com/arch/ >From their homepage: "ACCELERATING OPEN SOURCE QUALITY" "In collaboration with Stanford University, Coverity <http://www.coverity.com/> is establishing a new baseline for software quality and security in open source. Under a contract with the Department of Homeland Security, we apply the latest innovations in automated defect detection to uncover some of the most critical types of bugs found in software." " Coverity Architecture Analyzer. The tool uses information gathered during the build of a codebase to create a comprehensive list of interdependencies in the code. These dependencies can be investigated interactively with the Architecture Analyzer desktop application. It can also be used to generate diagrams..." I wonder if adding Koha's code is of any interest to the Koha Project/developers and the rationale for the decision? An invitation to add additional projects is included: use the 'Submit a Request' <http://scan.coverity.com/arch/> link. Does anyone know more about this code analyser? Just curious..

Holds queue report
by Owen Leonard 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Now that we're up and running on 3.0, we're discovering some aspects of the Holds Queue report that are not working for us: 1. Title. The list displays the title (245a) and only the title. No subtitle, no name of part/section of a work (245p), no number of part/section of a work (245n). This makes it impossible to pull some items based only on what's in the report (picture being in the stacks with a printed copy, wishing you could click through for more info). In our [custom-built] 2.x report we had barcodes, at least. 2. Damaged items. The holds queue report includes items which have been marked as damaged. I would think that if the holds queue process found a bib record with more than one available item that it should only list available items which are not marked as damaged--perhaps based on the "AllowHoldsOnDamagedItems" preference? 3. Freshness. I realize the process for building the Holds Queue report must be intensive or it wouldn't rely on a cron job. But what about a process for taking the processed and stored Holds Queue report and filtering it based on more current availability information? The display of the report could include a pass to check for current status so that even if the Holds Queue report hadn't regenerated for an hour, it would still hide items on the list which had been made waiting or lost. I welcome any opinions or ideas anyone might have, Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel(a)nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel

Hi Savitra I know nothing of defining a new zebra-index etc, but... have you started debugging your zebra problem using 'yaz-client' first? that way, you eliminate Koha as being a possible cause of your problem (which i suspect it is too ;) ) Mason

Staging of import stalls
by Roche III, Edward 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Good Morning All I am trying stage my MARC import data but it keeps stalling. I broke it down into 4 individual files of about 4000 records each. But it still stalls at about 15%. Has anyone had this issue? Can it be done from the terminal instead of through the browser? Every time I start the process it pins my cpu at 95 to 100% which is why it is probably stalling but not sure why. My Config ---------------------------------- Ubuntu 8.1 1.5gb memory Pentium 4 - 2.5ghz dual core Koha 3.0 NoZebra Basic LAMP install Any thoughts would be great. Thanks Ed Edward J.

Authority in Koha 3 (English - Unimarc - NoZebra)
by Zeno Tajoli 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi to all, I have found a but into installer data for Unimarc / English language. I'm using a NoZebra setting and I think this option is importan for this bug. The setup of Authority is based on the file installer/data/mysql/en/marcflavour/unimarc/mandatory/authorities_normal_unimarc.sql But this definition gives problems, see my e-mail "Problems on working with authority" in koha general list, 05 Jun 2008 09:14. A correct defintion is the frence definition. Probably the main problem is to insert authtypecode = '' into all records of tables auth_tag_structure and auth_subfield_structure. I think that the frence defintion could be good also for English Unimarc definition. My authority defintion (a transaltion of franch definition into english) is attached to this mail.

Errors trying to import records from Z39.50
by Krishnan M 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

I have Koha 3.0 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 While manual cataloguing works okay as well as importing MARC records from a file, we are unable to import "good" MARC records from Z39.50 servers 1) We can't import MARC records from a Z39.50 search. For e.g., i just search for "Great Expectations" from Library of Congress and attempt to import, and i get the error below. This error occurs for pretty much any book. Koha error The following fatal error has occurred: Can't call method "add_subfields" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl line 141.
