[Koha-zebra] indexing with File Record IDs, or General Record IDs ?

[Sebastian Hammer]

It's a two-step process.

First, you ensure that the appropriate field is indexed using a certain USE 
attribute. You do this in the abs file in the usual way. Let's say you use 
USE attr 12, local number, for this.

Second, you tell Zebra that for this setup, you want Bib-1 attribute 
local-number to be the record ID. You could do this thusly (in zebra.cfg):

recordId: (bib1,local-number)

You can have multiple 'tokens' in the recordId setting to match on other 
criteria as well, and I believe it is possible to have different keys for 
different databases using the group setting feature.

The description of this setting is in 
http://www.indexdata.dk/zebra/doc/generic-ids.tkl
