[Koha-devel] Links authorities records with biblio records

[Salvador Zaragoza Rubio]

Dear all,

After installing the 3.00.00 beta version of the Koha, i've been trying 
to link the authorities records
with the biblio records launching the link_bibs_to_authorities.pl script 
without success so far.

 I did some debugging at the koha-zebradaemon-output.log file and found 
out that the query looking for
authorities matches didn't display any hits, because it was searching 
with the Match-heading Bib-1 attribute.

Our authorities titles are stored in the Marc21 150$a field, that 
correspond with the Subject-topical-heading
Bib-1 attribute, so i had to change in the Heading.pm file in the 
authorities method  the Bib-1 attribute, suppress in the method
_query_limiters the thesaurus and added terms, and add in the 
/etc/koha/zebradb/ccl.properties file the new Local-Use
Authority Index of the Subject-topical-heading attribute.

After all these changes, launching the link_bibs_to_authorities.pl 
script started to display results of heading changes and
the zebraqueue was filled with biblio specialupdates operations. So i 
think this is the way how it has to be configured, at least for
our authorities records. It worked for me.

If anyone has a suggestion or believes that is a wrong procedure 
comments will be welcome.

Thanks in advance and receive my best regards,

Salva
