How are you? 22:19 jo I'm great 22:20 irma good U r not in Christchurch...poor people who lost their homes 22:20 irma Re work 22:21 irma I am trying to nail the downloading of authority records from Libraries Australia 22:21 irma but they do not populate table auth_header 22:21 irma which is what I should should happen 22:22 jo I don't know sorry 22:22 irma Can I borrow your cataloguer fro an hour? 22:22 jo I get Chris to do that stuff for me :) 22:22 irma :-( thanks Jo 22:23 irma Wishing you a good day - Irma waves at Jo 23:14 wasabi irma: take a look at the ./misc/migration_tools/bulkauthimport.pl tool , too 23:15 * wasabi assumes you are importing auth-records via the web-gui, which i've never tried... 23:17 wasabi my hunch is importing via the gui only handles bibs, not auth records 23:27 irma Thanks wasabi. So ... There is no way to import (one by one) authority records from an external db (Libraries Australia authority db in our case) via z39.50, into the auth_header table ... 23:28 wasabi pass, i have only imported auth records 100k at a time, from ./bulkauthimport.pl tool 23:29 wasabi i wrote a similar script to do what you want, for bib records... 23:29 wasabi for HLT 23:30 wasabi pull records from natlib-nz via z39 on isbn, then import 23:31 wasabi your task is easier if spilt into two 23:32 wasabi 1) get your marc records from lib-oz 23:32 wasabi 2) ./bulkauthimport.pl -f ./your-new-auth-records.mrc 23:34 wasabi fyi: i dont have ATM any auth records to test a web-import 23:35 wasabi mail me one, i can try... 23:35 irma I confirm that importing a auth record via web-gui handles the auth record as if it is a bib record ... 23:36 irma somehow the cataloguing workflow works better if the cataloguer can download a auth record at a time 23:37 irma as she then download the latest auth record for that author for example 23:37 irma a bulk import of auth records would have to be regularly updated 23:38 wasabi yeah, i understand.. 23:39 irma and in this way keep the Thesaurus up to date 23:39 wasabi catalog workflow does differ between libraries, it seems.. 23:39 irma not sure how easy that would be for the cataloguing team to do on a regular basis. 23:39 irma Issues as I see them: 23:40 wasabi looks like z39 search/import for auths is missing from koha-head 23:40 wasabi ... via the gui 23:40 irma 1) bulk import of authority records can be done but data is out of date as soon as the import has taken place 23:41 irma 2) Via z39.50 one by one record downloads is currently not a feature of Koha 23:41 wasabi good news, is that most of the bib-import code is reusable for auth-import... 23:41 irma goood news indeed 23:41 wasabi its just that know-one has got round to doing it so-far 23:42 wasabi s/know-/no / 23:42 irma Is #2) a development for hackfest after KohaCon? 23:44 wasabi #2 works for bibs, not for auth records 23:44 wasabi pass 23:45 wasabi it could be 23:45 irma Thanks wassabi. 23:46 wasabi its a useful enuff feature, for not too much additional effort, i think
