Dear Members, I have question regarding the content in the field 005 ( MARC tag). Is this the field in which issue and return date of a document is recorded or date on which the record was modified/updated/corrected ? There is another field 008, which stores the date on which the recorded was added to the database. pl clarify. thanks in advance, Dr.G.K.Manjunath Chief Librarian Indira Gandhi Inst of Development Research Film City Road Santosh Nagar Goregaon(East ) MUMBAI - 400 065 India Phone: 022-28416528 email: gkm@igidr.ac.in

Dear Doug, Thanks for your help. In fact, I had seen the documentation available at the LOC site before sending my query. Therefore, my doubt still persists. The documentation does not clearly indicate whether the date of transaction is the date on which the record was modified/updated or this is the date on which circulation related transaction was made. I solicit clarifications from the members of the forum. thanks, G.K.Manjunath Chief Librarian IGIDR, Mumbai, India On Thu, 26 Jul 2012, Doug Dearden wrote:

Dear Members,

I have question regarding the content in the field 005 ( MARC tag).

Is this the field in which issue and return date of a document is recorded or date on which the record was modified/updated/corrected ?

There is another field 008, which stores the date on which the recorded was added to the database.

pl clarify.

thanks in advance,

In fact now Koha doesn't update 005 automaticaly, you need to do by hand every time. That was the case in the past. Note that ModBiblioMarc does update 005 when the record is saved. (Bug 5374).

Can we move Search::Engine::Solr into Koha:: namespace and create a Zebra version that implements the same API? (havent read the code yet, sorry). If there was a consensus on the way Koha::Contrib::Tamil does the indexing, the algorithms could be reused. Once we had this, we could introduce some more scripts/files or instructions so we have the indexing daemon ready for production, OOTB. I think this is the *only* obscure part in the Koha deployment, that we could have solved a while ago. No matter which approach/API is chosen.

Zeno, To adapt for Zebra, I think you just have to modify the routine sub launch_indexation

Currently, it calls C4::Search::Engine::Solr::IndexRecord( $recordtype, $recordids );

Hi all,

Just for information: We (at BibLibre) have developped an indexer daemon (named IndexRecordQueue).

...

It's available on our git repository (branch dev/solr).

I can do some doc if someone is interested.

this script is only for solr or do you think can be used also for Zebra ?

An effort is being made to update the INSTALL.* files and to aid our users in running Koha almost auto-magically (read .deb install method, copy and paste instructions for src install in debian/ubuntu, etc).

A missing piece (from my point of view) is the integration of the record indexer daemon into Koha (currently the default is to reindex -z every 5', and there are links to using Koha::Contrib::Tamil tools for having a *daemon* to do it).

I vote for doing an effort to have Koha::Contrib::Tamil integrated into Koha. Once it is in the source tree this will:

- Avoid Koha version-specific incompatibilities (read ease of maintenance). - Provide a simple way (SysV) to run the daemon. - Make it possible for the daemon to evolve (not sure, but I read that jcamins had some patches to adapt the Koha::Contrib::Tamil to the koha-common package multi-instance schema). Even if we move to a SolR/Zebra/Whatever: if we support Zebra it will be needed.

As spoken with FrédericD, this implementation of the indexer lacks some features (?) as record sanitization, or ISO record indexing instead of MARCXML, but maybe we conclude it is not needed anymore there. Or it could be reintroduced once is in the source tree.

As I see it, once it is integrated in the Koha source its easier to patch and make it evolve.
