Hi. You may find that the memcache was holding on to the old framework definitions and marc mappings. It can be confusing as for the most part configuration changes on Koha are applied instantly. However we have observed that framework-related changes only come into effect when memcache daemon is restarted. Rebooting the server would certainly restart memcache ;-) If you have command line access with sudo access you can restart the memcache daemon rather than rebooting. It fooled us for a while until we figured it out. Cheers. Ian On 01/11/2012 16:12, Paul wrote:
I wrote earlier: "All that remains is to work out why our cataloguers cannot get the 100$a into the correct column" but have now found a "fix" that worked for us (I am *not* saying that this might work under other circumstances). From <http://koha-community.org/faqs/relationship-koha-marc-mapping-marc-bibliographic-frameworks/>:
"Mapping can be defined through 'MARC Bibliographic Frameworks' OR 'Koha to MARC Mapping'. 'Koha to MARC Mapping' is just a shortcut to speed up linkage. If you change a mapping in one of these modules, the mapping will change in the other as well. (In other words, the two modules 'overwrite' each other in order to prevent conflicts from existing in Koha). "
After upgrade to 3.8.5, both the frameworks and the mapping showed "Author ==> 100$a". On the sandbox yesterday, I deleted all the biblio (not biblioitems nor items) 'Mappings' late in the day and closed the machine down. I restored them (same values as before, only framework code, timestamp and datecreated blank since 3.6.1) and rebooted. Bingo! Cataloguing now fills biblio.author and the XML counterpart.
Just done the same on the production box (including two reboots, first time since the upgrade to 3.8.5) and it is also fixed. I have no clue what went wrong; whether it's something corrupt in our Koha db, whether it could be related to Koha, dependencies or other combinations of software (that box runs memcached, several other cgi web-based modules, other db's on MySQL, and SendMail) or whatever.
Serendipity is ...
Best regards, Paul
