Ah, right, I'd forgotten about that switch, as it doesn't work with authorities, and I can't do rebuild_zebra.pl -a -b -x -z in my crontab. So, the ISO2709 character limit is not actually an issue at all, then. -Ian On Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 9:10 AM, Galen Charlton <gmcharlt@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,

The byte limit is a restriction of the ISO-2709 format. If we use MARCXML, we can avoid that, but as I understand it, Zebra currently just ingests binary MARC.
This is incorrect. As configured by default for use with Koha, Zebra can ingest either ISO2709 blobs or MARCXML (e.g., by passing the -x option to rebuild_zebra.pl), so the ISO2709 record size limit is not a limitation of Zebra.
