             Bug #: 6301
           Summary: super librarians can't export bib records from all
                    libraries if indybranches on
    Classification: Unclassified

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

See chat transcript for more info - but the short version is that if you have
independentbranches set to 'prevent' then even super librarians can't use the
bib export tool to export from all libraries.





[16:35]  <nengard> has anyone used the marc export tool in 3.4?

[16:37]  <nengard> i keep getting an empty file when i try to export
[16:37]  <nengard> i tried bib number range and date range
[16:37]  <nengard> but i think the date range is in the item record and my
records don't have items
[16:39]  <gmcharlt> nengard: it's querying the items directly, not the copy of
the items in the bib MARC
[16:39]  <wizzyrea> hmm
[16:39]  <nengard> gmcharlt, i don't understand what you mean ... i have 800
bib records with no items (holdings) does that mean I can't export the bibs?
[16:40]  <gmcharlt> nengard: correct; if the bibs have no items, they would not
be selected by date range, since it's presently looking for the item
dateaccessioned
[16:41]  <nengard> right - that i assumed, but I tried to do it using bib
numbers
[16:41]  <nengard> and that didn't work either
[16:41]  <gmcharlt> if library, call number, itemtype, or date range is
selected as the filter
[16:41]  <gmcharlt> will only pull in bibs that are linked to items
[16:42]  <gmcharlt> doing it by bib number shoudl work, but only if none of
those other filters are selected
[16:42]  <nengard> http://screencast.com/t/xoONp6IE
[16:42]  <nengard> that's what i have
[16:42]  <nengard> and i get a blank marc file
[16:44]  <jcamins> nengard: you checked to make sure that those records are
really there, right?
[16:44]  <nengard> yes :)
[16:44]  <jcamins> Okay. Just checking.
[16:44]  <nengard> well I know  i have 4121 but maybe not 6000
[16:44]  <gmcharlt> nengard: hmm, is indybranches turned on in that database by
any chance?
[16:45]  <nengard> gmcharlt, shoudln't be ... let me go look
[16:45]  <nengard> gmcharlt it was!!! 
[16:45]  <gmcharlt> nengard: ok, there's your answer
[16:45]  <nengard> it worked
[16:45]  <nengard> you're awesome :) thanks
[16:46]  <nengard> I must have turned it on to test something and forgot to
turn it back off
[16:46]  <nengard> gmcharlt++
[16:46]  <gmcharlt> if indybranches is turned on, it effectively adds a filter
to the user session's current branch
[16:46]  <gmcharlt> ...
[16:46]  <gmcharlt> in some circumstances that could be construed as a bug
[16:46]  <nengard> that shouldn't be there for super librarians ... i would
think
[16:46]  <nengard> for them it would be a bug
[16:46]  <nengard> right?
[16:46]  <gmcharlt> yeah
[16:46]  <gmcharlt> and it is a bug for them
[16:46]  <nengard> okay I report that as a bug then
