| 11:59 | Lea | hdl: I've written my own dictionary parser and it works fine.... |
| 12:00 | 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 | Does it contains information ? And Is information in relation to you data ? | |
| 12:02 | Lea | I will pastebin my results |
| 12:02 | yes it does | |
| 12:04 | http://pastebin.ca/243471 | |
| 12:04 | the dictionary is not entirely correct, as you will see | |
| 12:05 | (Unless it's my coding!) | |
| 12:07 | This is the dictionary extracted: http://pastebin.ca/243477 | |
| 12:07 | Tag,Length,Starts At | |
| 12:07 | As you can see, 200 has a length of 24, which also seems to include the price! | |
| 12:08 | Tag 20 sorry, not 200 | |
| 12:10 | hdl | So this semms to be USMARC data. |
| 12:10 | MARC-21 | |
| 12:11 | It is strange that dumpmarc can't decode your data. | |
| 12:12 | Can you try /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/misc/dumpmarc.pl -file test_import.mrc | |
| 12:12 | Lea | sure |
| 12:13 | ok, I get the leader and control tag for every record | |
| 12:14 | EG: | |
| 12:14 | NUMBER 5919 => | |
| 12:14 | LDR 00801nam 2200037 45e0 | |
| 12:14 | 001 2000230001 | |
| 12:15 | i really wish i was better at perl | |
| 12:46 | 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 | 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 | definitely | |
| 13:23 | Lea | right, well I've worked out that their export routine has a bug. |
| 13:23 | 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 | 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 | Good. | |
| 13:35 | wiki.koha.org | |
| 13:35 | dewey | wiki.koha.org is probably ssssslllllllllooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww.... |
| 13:36 | owen | dewey: forget wiki.koha.org |
| 13:36 | dewey | owen: I forgot wiki.koha.org |
| 13:36 | hdl | hehe owen |
| 13:37 | 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 | I don't know the precise term for the position. | |
| 13:39 | I saw her on TV, she was presented as an iron woman | |
| 13:39 | 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 | 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 | my MARC21 data is now fixed :) | |
| 15:17 | 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 | create yourself an account on there, and you should be away | |
| 15:23 | perhaps under 'migration notes'... ? | |
| 15:53 | Lea | I take it I can't upload files? |
| 16:16 | 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 | anybody here? | |
| 18:10 | well, anybody proficient in importing things to Koha? | |
| 18:16 | anybody? | |
| 18:16 | oh well | |
| 18:23 | Just wanted to say that Burt Munro`s "Munro Special" Indian kicks ass :) | |
| 18:37 | chris | hi pecisk, are you still theer? |
| 18:37 | there even | |
| 18:38 | http://www.kohadocs.org/Instal[…]sarge.html#d0e319 | |
| 18:38 | is a good place to look | |
| 18:38 | it lists the dependencies | |
| 18:50 | pecisk | chris: thanks |
| 18:52 | chris | no problem :) |
| 18:52 | you are from latvia pecisk? | |
| 18:52 | night toins | |
| 18:52 | pecisk | chris: that's right :) |
| 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 | have you seen http://search.athenscounty.lib.oh.us/ | |
| 18:59 | pecisk | no |
| 18:59 | I will check it out | |
| 19:00 | 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 | koha thinks of librarians just as other users | |
| 19:00 | but with different privileges | |
| 19:00 | eg | |
| 19:01 | http://koha.liblime.com/cgi-bi[…]er.pl?bornum=9143 | |
| 19:01 | see this page | |
| 19:01 | ull notice a link modify privileges | |
| 19:01 | next to the delete button | |
| 19:01 | 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 | yeah | |
| 19:02 | good one | |
| 19:02 | chris | another good doc |
| 19:02 | is | |
| 19:02 | http://www.kohadocs.org/newbieguide.html | |
| 19:02 | for an intro to koha | |
| 19:03 | pecisk | great, thanks :) |
| 19:04 | 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 | and its purely dependent on how many items you have in your library | |
| 19:13 | the more ram you can throw at it, the faster it will go :) | |
| 19:20 | pecisk | chris: good to know :) |
| 19:21 | anyway, thanks for a info, see ya here next time :) bye | |
| 19:21 | chris | cya later |
| 05:14 | osmoze | hello #koha |
| 05:14 | toins_ | hello all |
| 05:19 | hdl | hello |
| 07:06 | btoumi | chris are u around? |
| 08:19 | Lea | good morning |
| 08:19 | toins_ | hello Lea |
| 08:39 | Lea | Is there a difference between bulkmarcimport and the "Upload MARC records" menu on the web interface? |
| 09:01 | Also, is it possible to bulk import into a particular branch? | |
| 09:01 | paul | hi Lea. |
| 09:01 | yes, a very big one !!! | |
| 09:01 | bulkmarcimport is useful when migrating your database. | |
| 09:02 | 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 | so, it's definetly not the same usage. | |
| 09:02 | does that sound clear ? | |
| 09:06 | Lea | ok, so do not use the resevoir for 6K books :) |
| 09:07 | 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 | look at : | |
| 09:07 | http://marcpm.sourceforge.net/MARC/Record.html | |
| 09:07 | and | |
| 09:07 | http://marcpm.sourceforge.net/MARC/Field.html | |
| 09:08 | Lea | thank you for your time paul |
| 09:09 | 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 | but don't forget to double check that you don't already have item information already somewhere. | |
| 09:11 | 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 | 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 | (good news ...) | |
| 09:41 | 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 | it talks about a branch mane variable |
