| 11:12 | Lea | hi! I'm currently a little stuck importing my MARC21 records into Koha. In the log file I'm getting the following error: [Tue Nov 07 14:34:10 2006] [error] [client 10.0.0.7] malformed header from script. Bad header=MARCRECORDMARCRECORDMARCRECORD: breeding.pl, referer: http://koha.meirion-dwyfor.ac.[…]mport/breeding.pl Any ideas? Thanks... |
| 11:24 | kados | paul: you around? |
| 11:26 | owen | hi kados |
| 11:26 | kados | morning owen |
| 11:26 | :-) | |
| 11:55 | Lea | is it normally easy to import MARC files from a .mrc file? Am I doing something wrong? |
| 11:57 | I just keep getting: Can't locate object method "ignore_errors" via package "MARC::Charset" at ./bulkmarcimport.pl line 24. | |
| 11:59 | kados | Lea: do you have MARC::Charset installed? |
| 11:59 | Lea: and if so, what version? | |
| 12:05 | Lea | I'll check now |
| 12:06 | yes i do 0.95 | |
| 12:07 | I'm not a perl guru. How do I add a path to my perl modules search path? I think this may be the problem | |
| 12:31 | ok, I think I'm getting somewhere, now I'm getting this error: Can't locate object method "encoding" via package "MARC::Record" at ./bulkmarcimport.pl line 218. | |
| 12:31 | I have installed the encoding perl module.... | |
| 12:42 | kados: I have it working, thanks for the hint | |
| 17:48 | chris | anyone about? |
| 17:52 | kados | what's up chris? |
| 17:53 | chris | http://bugs.koha.org ... work for you? |
| 17:53 | kados | server error |
| 17:53 | chris | right, still going to the old site then |
| 17:53 | ull have to wait for the dns to catch up | |
| 17:53 | kados | dns propogation then |
| 17:53 | snap | |
| 17:53 | chris | unless you can make ur dns server reload :) |
| 17:54 | kados | what's the new IP? |
| 17:55 | chris | 202.50.109.200 .. so once ur dns says that ull be ok |
| 17:55 | i think the ttl is 17 hours .. so itll come around | |
| 17:56 | kados | huh ... that's the IP I get with dig |
| 17:56 | chris | hmm, maybe ur browser is caching dns |
| 17:57 | what happens if you hit it lynx | |
| 17:57 | kados | works |
| 17:57 | owen | chris, bugs.koha.org is coming up for me (though without any stylesheet) |
| 17:58 | kados | so firefox must be caching the dns ... weird |
| 17:58 | chris | right i just have to make it not so ugly now:) |
| 17:58 | 2 secs | |
| 17:58 | kados | heh |
| 18:00 | chris | better now? |
| 18:01 | owen | Purdy. :) |
| 18:02 | chris | cool |
| 19:48 | rch | hey folks |
| 05:08 | osmoze | hello |
| 05:08 | dewey | what's up, osmoze |
| 05:45 | chris | hey osmoze, bugs.koha.org working for you now? |
| 05:46 | toins_ | chris: yes it's works ! |
| 05:46 | osmoze | hi chris |
| 05:46 | yes :) | |
| 05:47 | chris | cool |
| 05:47 | its actually on a new server, and a slightly newer version of bugzilla now too | |
| 06:28 | Lea | good morning.... |
| 06:29 | toins_ | hi Lea |
| 06:29 | btoumi | hi lea |
| 06:31 | Lea | I'm reinstalling koha today. I gained a lot of experience yesterday and I think I'll do a better job second time around |
| 06:31 | toins_ | Lea: 2.2.6 ? |
| 06:31 | dewey | i guess 2.2.6 is shaping up to be really stable |
| 06:31 | Lea | yes, 2.2.6 |
| 06:31 | toins_ | ok |
| 06:31 | Lea | I had quite a few niggling issues yesterday |
| 06:32 | but i think most of that was because I had issues with direct connection to the net. | |
| 06:33 | Being a sys admin and not a librarian, could anyone enlighten me to what the deal is with MARC records? They look Tag based. Is there a standard format for tags? How do I make sure the librarian's data is transfered correctly? Do I need to manually set up mappings? I got a headache yesterday.... :) | |
| 06:57 | hdl | you can find documentation on MARC standard in loc site and IFLA. |
| 06:58 | http://www.loc.gov/marc/ | |
| 06:58 | http://www.ifla.org/VI/3/p1996-1/sec-uni.htm | |
| 06:59 | depending on which side of the channel you are. | |
| 06:59 | But I warn you : it will worsen your headache. | |
| 06:59 | very interesting for cataloguers. | |
| 07:00 | Do you know which marcflavour your library is using ? | |
| 07:00 | Do you know what data they provide you with for import ? | |
| 07:04 | Lea | well, we are using a product called Eclipse at the moment |
| 07:04 | it exports csv,xls,MARC21 and UNIMARC | |
| 07:04 | for the catalogue | |
| 07:08 | hdl | depending on the flavour you want to use in Koha. |
| 07:08 | MARC21 or UNIMARC would be good choices. | |
| 07:09 | To import, you can use bulkmarcimport. | |
| 07:09 | Lea | The reason I ask, is because I managed to get 5900 records imported using bulkmarcimporter, but a lot of the fields were NULL in the database. I wondered if I needed to make some sort of "mappings"? |
| 07:10 | hdl | I often map links since every user has its own use. |
| 07:10 | Lea | Like, setup all the categories using the same "codes" as what is in eclipse. But I'm not sure, because I don't know if MARC is standard like XML in that custom tags can be created. I'm all at sea with this library stuff! :) |
| 07:10 | I just know that if I bulk import the records a lot of fields are NULL | |
| 07:10 | IE, all but the date ones | |
| 07:11 | hdl | Did you create a framework for biblios ? |
| 07:11 | When installing Koha, you can choose to import frameworks. | |
| 07:12 | Importing default UNIMARC (in french) or US-MARC can be a good start. | |
| 07:13 | Did you try to contact MJ ray in UK ? | |
| 07:14 | Lea | um,.... I'm not sure what I did. It's a new day! :) But I am reinstalling koha today. Now, these frameworks, are they standardised? I'm in the UK, so do I use US-MARC? |
| 07:15 | Who is Mj ray? | |
| 07:17 | paul | lea: you should use the dumpmarc.pl script, that is in the misc/migration_tools directory script, to see if you have true iso2709 file (which I think yes), and what kind of marc flavour it is. |
| 07:18 | the dumpmarc will dump your record. | |
| 07:18 | copy here a part of it (a single biblio), and we will tell you if it's UNIMARC of MARC21. | |
| 07:18 | (if you have the title in 200$a, it's UINMARC, if you have it in 245$a, it's MARC21) | |
| 07:20 | Lea | oh, ok. are you around for a bit? I'm just reinstalling... |
| 07:20 | if it's any help, the file extension is .mrc | |
| 07:21 | i did specifically select MARC21 rather than UNIMARC | |
| 07:35 | hdl | MJ ray is a UK person who contributed in Koha. |
| 07:35 | Lea : OK if you select MARC21 | |
| 07:36 | (UNIMARC is only translated in french) | |
| 07:42 | Lea | ah ok. I'll talk to MJ Ray when i see him online :) Nearly all perl modules installed. |
| 07:43 | I'd definately add "install modules using webmin" to the documentation. It makes life an awful lot easier. | |
| 07:56 | hdl | he rarely is |
| 07:56 | But you can contact him via email | |
| 07:57 | paul | hdl (& Lea) : you're wrong about unimarc in french only : it's also in ukrainian since 2.2.6 :D |
| 08:10 | Lea | heh |
| 08:11 | is ther a difference between MARC::FILE::XML and MARC::FILE::SAX? I used the cvs versions of the MARC library and MARC::FILE::XML isn't included... | |
| 08:11 | ...but it is on the requirements section of the 2.2.6 release notes | |
| 08:14 | Here is the result from dumpmarc: | |
| 08:15 | LDR 00830nam 2200037 45e0 | |
| 08:15 | 001 2000240001 | |
| 08:15 | I'm guessing that 2000_240_001 means it is infact a genuine MARC21 file... | |
| 08:20 | hdl | dumpmarc should be more verbose than just two lines. |
| 08:21 | USMARC and UNIMARC all depends if you have title in 245$a or 200$a | |
| 08:21 | USMARC have author in 100 field. | |
| 08:21 | while UNIMARC have it in 200 and 700 | |
| 08:27 | Lea | oh, ok. Let me C&P everything here |
| 08:28 | rootkoha:/root/koha# /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/misc/dumpmarc.pl -file test_import.mrc -n 1 |
|
| 08:28 | NUM : 1 | |
| 08:28 | NUMBER 1 => | |
| 08:28 | LDR 00830nam 2200037 45e0 | |
| 08:28 | 001 2000240001 | |
| 08:28 | ================== | |
| 08:28 | 5922 record parsed | |
| 08:29 | That's everything | |
| 08:37 | hdl | try -w |
| 08:38 | and without -n 1 | |
| 08:40 | Lea | rootkoha:/root/koha# /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/misc/dumpmarc.pl -file test_import.mrc -w |
| 08:40 | NUM : 0 | |
| 08:40 | No directory found in record 1 | |
| 08:40 | field does not end in end of field character in tag 001 in record 1 | |
| 08:40 | ================== | |
| 08:40 | 1 record parsed | |
| 08:40 | :( | |
| 09:29 | bbiab | |
| 10:12 | hdl | Lea : No directory is a bad news. |
| 10:12 | directory is the structure of your mrc file | |
| 10:13 | Lea | oh dear.... how can these people claim it's MARC21 compliant? |
| 10:48 | if all else fails, I can get the data in CSV format. Any tips on importing that? | |
| 10:52 | hmm.. there is definately directory data there.... |
