Hi David, I see that you haven't received any replies on the list yet. Sadly I am not sure what is causing the issues you have. For the matching I found an older mail thread, suggesting a different syntax for the match parameter: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/bulkmarcimport-problems-td5492136.html ./bulkmarcimport.pl -d -fk -match=barcode,999c -commit 1000 -v -file /tmp/newer40_77000.mrc From that, maybe try: -match=Control-umber,001 If you are stuck, stepping into #koha IRC can be also a good idea: https://koha-community.org/get-involved/irc/ Often people will be able to help you to get to the root of an error message there.

Hello koha folks,

### I hope this is the correct list for this kind of email ###

We are currently exporting about 500k recods from a dabis system into a new koha installation.

the export file (MARCXML) goes through some transformations using catmandu.

I imported the first 25k records using this command:

``` bulkmarcimport.pl -M MARCXML -file tmp/marc_001.xml ```

after inspecting the records some of the catmandu fixes had to be updated and now im trying to update the existing koha records with the new marc_002.xml file.

``` bulkmarcimport.pl -M MARCXML -update -isbn -file tmp/marc_002.xml ```

this gives me alot of these errors: ``` WARNING: Updating record  failed at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl line 470, <GEN24> line 190. ..Use of uninitialized value $originalid in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl line 470, <GEN24> line 194. WARNING: Updating record  failed at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl line 470, <GEN24> line 194. ```

I also tried using -match but I havent figured out how the parameters for -match are supposed to look like ``` bulkmarcimport.pl -m MARCXML -update -match="001" -file tmp/marc_002.xml ```

``` .Use of uninitialized value $recorddata in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl line 603, <GEN24> line 2. unable to search the database for duplicates : No query entered at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl line 323, <GEN24> line 2. ```

help or pointers are appreciated.

cheers david
