hdl: I've written my own dictionary parser and it works fine.... |
| 12:00 |
|
Lea |
I see all the tags and data (although the data is stored in a horrible way - 5byte buffer at start of each field for some stupid reason). |
| 12:01 |
|
hdl |
Is the directory OK ? |
| 12:01 |
|
Lea |
How can I tell if it's ok? What do you mean? |
| 12:01 |
|
hdl |
Or do you have to rebuild it ? |
| 12:02 |
|
hdl |
Does it contains information ? And Is information in relation to you data ? |
| 12:02 |
|
Lea |
I will pastebin my results |
| 12:02 |
|
Lea |
yes it does |
| 12:04 |
|
Lea |
http://pastebin.ca/243471 |
| 12:04 |
|
Lea |
the dictionary is not entirely correct, as you will see |
| 12:05 |
|
Lea |
(Unless it's my coding!) |
| 12:07 |
|
Lea |
This is the dictionary extracted: http://pastebin.ca/243477 |
| 12:07 |
|
Lea |
Tag,Length,Starts At |
| 12:07 |
|
Lea |
As you can see, 200 has a length of 24, which also seems to include the price! |
| 12:08 |
|
Lea |
Tag 20 sorry, not 200 |
| 12:10 |
|
hdl |
So this semms to be USMARC data. |
| 12:10 |
|
hdl |
MARC-21 |
| 12:11 |
|
hdl |
It is strange that dumpmarc can't decode your data. |
| 12:12 |
|
hdl |
Can you try /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/misc/dumpmarc.pl -file test_import.mrc |
| 12:12 |
|
Lea |
sure |
| 12:13 |
|
Lea |
ok, I get the leader and control tag for every record |
| 12:14 |
|
Lea |
EG: |
| 12:14 |
|
Lea |
NUMBER 5919 => |
| 12:14 |
|
Lea |
LDR 00801nam 2200037 45e0 |
| 12:14 |
|
Lea |
001 2000230001 |
| 12:15 |
|
Lea |
i really wish i was better at perl |
| 12:46 |
|
Lea |
ok, it seems that bytes 12-16 dont represent the start of the data |
| 12:51 |
|
hdl |
If your software doesnot provide you with correct directory, then it will be hard to decode your information. |
| 12:53 |
|
Lea |
I agree. If I decode it myself (looks fairly easy), what option would I have in writing this data into Koha? |
| 12:58 |
|
paul_ |
bye world... |
| 13:06 |
|
Lea |
ok, I know what the problem is here. I just hardcoded a data start number into MARC::FILE::USMARC and got correct output for one record. This means that,yes, bytes 12-16 of the leader aren't set correctly |
| 13:21 |
|
Lea |
hdl: I know I've bothered you all afternoon, I appreciate it. One last thing, is this what I should be seeing with dumpmarc? http://pastebin.ca/243522 |
| 13:22 |
|
hdl |
yes |
| 13:22 |
|
hdl |
definitely |
| 13:23 |
|
Lea |
right, well I've worked out that their export routine has a bug. |
| 13:23 |
|
Lea |
What I'm going to do is work out how to generate the correct number for bytes 12-16, run it on every record and "fix" their data |
| 13:24 |
|
Lea |
If possible, I would like ot upload this script to the wiki. Perhaps there should be a new page for importing data from this system? |
| 13:34 |
|
hdl |
sure |
| 13:35 |
|
hdl |
Good. |

| 13:36 |
|
owen |
dewey: forget wiki.koha.org |
| 13:36 |

dewey |
owen: I forgot wiki.koha.org |
| 13:36 |
|
hdl |
hehe owen |
| 13:37 |
|
hdl |
It was a good vote was it not ? |
| 13:37 |
|
owen |
It's been a long time since I've been happy about election results. |
| 13:38 |
|
kados |
:-) |
| 13:38 |
|
hdl |
Maybe a wife could be head of deputy, woud it not ? |
| 13:38 |
|
hdl |
I don't know the precise term for the position. |
| 13:39 |
|
hdl |
I saw her on TV, she was presented as an iron woman |
| 13:39 |
|
hdl |
hi kados |
| 13:39 |
|
kados |
hi hdl |
| 13:44 |
|
Lea |
oooh, what was the result for the senate? |
| 13:48 |
|
hdl |
Not known atm |
| 13:48 |
|
hdl |
they must re-count |
| 13:50 |
|
Lea |
*cough*Diebold*cough* |
| 13:53 |
|
owen |
:) My colleage and I were wondering if the election results proved electronic voting was safe, or whether Democrats simply won /despite/ some vote tampering |
| 13:59 |
|
Lea |
owen: hard to "prove" anything |
| 14:38 |
|
Lea |
my MARC21 data is now fixed :) |
| 15:17 |
|
Lea |
ok guys. Seems my python script works wonders on this duff data exported by the eclipse system. Where can I put it and write a page about my experiences so others can benefit? |
| 15:21 |
|
mason |
hiya lea, try here -> http://wiki.koha.org |
| 15:22 |
|
mason |
create yourself an account on there, and you should be away |
| 15:23 |
|
mason |
perhaps under 'migration notes'... ? |
| 15:53 |
|
Lea |
I take it I can't upload files? |
| 16:16 |
|
Lea |
Wiki updated. Thanks for the help today. See ya. |
| 17:51 |
|
pecisk |
hi guys, I got particulary interested in your system, but I can't find where requirements are listed |
| 18:09 |
|
Mordazy |
Hi all |
| 18:09 |
|
Mordazy |
anybody here? |
| 18:10 |
|
Mordazy |
well, anybody proficient in importing things to Koha? |
| 18:16 |
|
Mordazy |
anybody? |
| 18:16 |
|
Mordazy |
oh well |
| 18:23 |

chris |

| 18:37 |
|

| 18:38 |
|
chris |
http://www.kohadocs.org/Instal[…]sarge.html#d0e319 |
| 18:38 |
|
chris |
is a good place to look |
| 18:38 |
|
chris |
it lists the dependencies |
| 18:50 |
|
pecisk |
chris: thanks |
| 18:52 |
|
chris |
no problem :) |
| 18:52 |
|
chris |

| 18:52 |
|
chris |

| 18:52 |
|
pecisk |

| 18:52 |
|
toins_ |
bye chris |
| 18:53 |
|
chris |
cool :) |
| 18:55 |
|
pecisk |
koha seems to be very impressive system, my girlfriend is a librarian, she likes it, at first glance |
| 18:58 |
|
chris |
thats great :) |
| 18:58 |
|
chris |
have you seen http://search.athenscounty.lib.oh.us/ |
| 18:59 |
|
pecisk |
no |
| 18:59 |
|
pecisk |
I will check it out |
| 19:00 |
|
pecisk |
by the way, I have question already - i looking at the demo, but I can't find where I can add users who can manage whole system - or there is just one administrator aka root |
| 19:00 |
|
chris |
nope there isnt, 2 secs ill show you |
| 19:00 |
|
chris |
koha thinks of librarians just as other users |
| 19:00 |
|
chris |
but with different privileges |
| 19:00 |
|
chris |
eg |
| 19:01 |
|
chris |
http://koha.liblime.com/cgi-bi[…]er.pl?bornum=9143 |
| 19:01 |
|
chris |
see this page |
| 19:01 |
|
chris |
ull notice a link modify privileges |
| 19:01 |
|
chris |
next to the delete button |
| 19:01 |
|
chris |
if you click on that |
| 19:02 |
|
pecisk |
I see |
| 19:02 |
|
chris |
then you can set what that person can do in koha |
| 19:02 |
|
pecisk |
nice :) |
| 19:02 |
|
pecisk |
yeah |
| 19:02 |
|
pecisk |

| 19:02 |
|
chris |

| 19:02 |
|
chris |
is |

http://www.kohadocs.org/newbieguide.html |
| 19:02 |
|
chris |
for an intro to koha |
| 19:03 |
|
pecisk |
great, thanks :) |
| 19:04 |
|
pecisk |
last question before I leave for now (I definetly will return), is - how Koha is big on load? I know from my sysadmin expierence that perl is rather heavy, but powerful :) |
| 19:13 |
|
chris |
hmmm, not very at all, its mysql that does all the heavy lifting |
| 19:13 |
|
chris |
and its purely dependent on how many items you have in your library |
| 19:13 |
|
chris |
the more ram you can throw at it, the faster it will go :) |
| 19:20 |
|
pecisk |
chris: good to know :) |
| 19:21 |
|
pecisk |
anyway, thanks for a info, see ya here next time :) bye |

good morning |

hello Lea |
| 08:39 |
|
Lea |
Is there a difference between bulkmarcimport and the "Upload MARC records" menu on the web interface? |
| 09:01 |
|
Lea |
Also, is it possible to bulk import into a particular branch? |
| 09:01 |
|
paul |
hi Lea. |
| 09:01 |
|
paul |
yes, a very big one !!! |
| 09:01 |
|
paul |
bulkmarcimport is useful when migrating your database. |
| 09:02 |
|
paul |
upload is useful to fill the reservoir, that will let you create your cataloguer quickly, by picking biblios from the reservoir 1 by 1 |
| 09:02 |
|
paul |
so, it's definetly not the same usage. |
| 09:02 |
|
paul |
does that sound clear ? |
| 09:06 |
|
Lea |
ok, so do not use the resevoir for 6K books :) |
| 09:07 |
|
Lea |
I've got the import working well, but is there a way to auto assign the branch? |
| 09:07 |
|
paul |
nope, you'll have to hack a little bit bulkmarcimport for this. |
| 09:07 |
|
paul |
look at : |
| 09:07 |
|
paul |
http://marcpm.sourceforge.net/MARC/Record.html |
| 09:07 |
|
paul |
and |
| 09:07 |
|
paul |
http://marcpm.sourceforge.net/MARC/Field.html |
| 09:08 |
|
Lea |
thank you for your time paul |
| 09:09 |
|
Lea |
it seems a bit strange to me that this isn't a standard part of importing. But what do I know? I'm just a sysadmin :) |
| 09:10 |
|
paul |
In fact, a large part of my job is to modify biblios when migrating from an ILS to another one. |
| 09:10 |
|
paul |
but don't forget to double check that you don't already have item information already somewhere. |
| 09:11 |
|
paul |
did you find www.kohadocs.org => migrating your datas to koha 2.2 ? |
| 09:13 |
|
Lea |
yes i did. Some documents on the migrating part of the wiki talked about editing a $branchname variable. Was this taken out? |
| 09:13 |
|
paul |
??? |
| 09:35 |
|
kados |
hi all |
| 09:39 |
|
paul |
hello kados. |
| 09:39 |
|
kados |
cool, how's it going? |
| 09:40 |
|
paul |
quite well |
| 09:40 |
|
paul |
a lot of minor bugs, a few more important, but nothing unsolvable. |
| 09:41 |
|
kados |
paul: I have gotten several off-list requests to send people the new Z39.50 client because they don't understand CVS |
| 09:41 |
|
kados |
(good news ...) |
| 09:41 |
|
kados |
I wonder if we could release 2.2.7 soon or if I should just send directions for how to update to the koha list |
| 09:42 |
|
Lea |
paul:sorry was on phone, look at point 2 (at the top) on this page http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=cmsdconversion |
| 09:43 |
|
Lea |
it talks about a branch mane variable |
