[Koha-devel] Barcode Not Found

[Roche III, Edward]

Thanks Jesse and Mason for the help. Now I am a novice when it comes to working with Perl…so, can you tell me a little more about the Perl API? How does It work?

 

 

Thanks!

Ed

well, if you *manually* use sql to UPDATE your barcode values , zebra
doesnt know about that ;)

so rebuild your zebra-index after, and try searching again

FYI: the correct way to do this is to use the C4:Items:ModItems()
subroutine - then zebra is updated correctly too

There's technically a second layer between the Koha MySQL database and Zebra: the MARC holdings tags. Whenever you update something in the biblio, biblioitems, or items table, you have to run misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl to update the MARC record, and then run rebuild_zebra .

(Note that, as Mason said, it usually is easier to use the Perl API to do this; it'll update the items table and MARC record, and queue the record to be updated in Zebra.)
