If you want your Koha system to be searched as a target you need to set it up in your koha-conf.xml on the server. If you look at it right now, it probably has the lines commented out.
If you are then looking to search it FROM Koha (that is, back to yourself) you need to configure the target as your describe in the Z39.50 Server Administration. I would make a couple of changes to way you describe it below though.> Hostname: 202.70.88.18 --> You should be able to make this localhost also
> Z39.50 Server: Healthnet Nepal
> Port: 9999
> Database: biblios

The values for the port is found in your koha-conf.xml
<!-- public server runs on tcp -->
<!-- <listen id="publicserver" >tcp:@:9999</listen> -->
in this case 9999. You can change the port number if you wish though.

I have tried it before but its a bit confusing. I could not get the search results. I think I made something wrong.
Don't we have to configure the target from backend???
I have made a new z39.50 target with the following parameters:
Z39.50 Server: Healthnet Nepal
Hostname: 202.70.88.18
Port: 9999
Database: biblios
Userid: kohauser
Password: zebrastripes
Checked: 1
Rank: 0
Syntax: Marc21/USMARC
Encoding: MARC-8
Aren't these things required???
What are the values to be put in the port, database and encoding fields???
I am really confused.
Please Help
Thank you.

Hello Nitesh,
I have this working on my installation. You need to configure your
koha-conf.xml. It is described here:-
http://koha.org/documentation/faq/could-someone-tell-me-the-exact-steps-i-need-to-take-to-configure-zebra-to-expose-my-koha-3-db-as-a-public-z39.50-service
I believe, right now, it is not possible to target an individual
library/collection, only the whole database.
Hope that helps

Hello all.
I am using KOHA 3.0.3 in Debian Lenny. We are currently hosting
10 different libraries. We want the records of one library to be
searched from another library. For this we are thinking to make
a z39.50 server in our Koha Installation with all the records of
10 libraries into a single server. In this way we can share our
records.
But I cannot find any resources that says how to make a working
z39.50 server out of my existing Koha Installation.
If anybody has done it before or has some kinds of tutorials to
make it, please reply.
Please Help.
Thank you.
