[Evergreen-general] MARC batch import not processing uploaded files (in 3.5.1)

[Linda Jansová]

Dear all,

We seem to have an issue with the MARC batch import feature in Evergreen 
3.5.1.

To make sure it is not caused by data in incorrect format, we have – for 
testing purposes – used a MARCXML file exported from the same Evergreen 
instance where we have encountered the issue (the bib record has been 
exported using the web client MARC batch export feature). This XML file 
is attached.

We have tried to import the file using admin accounts to the following 
community/test servers:

  *

    https://demo.evergreencatalog.com/eg/staff/home
    <https://demo.evergreencatalog.com/eg/staff/home> (3.6.0) – works okay

  *

    https://bugsquash.mobiusconsortium.org/eg/staff
    <https://bugsquash.mobiusconsortium.org/eg/staff> (3.5.0) – works okay

  *

    our community server https://evergreendemo.jabok.cuni.cz/eg/staff/
    <https://evergreendemo.jabok.cuni.cz/eg/staff/> (3.5.1) – does not
    work okay

  *

    our another test (3.5.1) – does not work okay

While when it works okay, the file is processed and all three stages 
(upload, enqueue and import) progress bars go to a 100 % point, in our 
3.5.1 instances we have ended up with the first progress bar. I'm also 
attaching a screenshot from the Mobius community test server and from 
ours to clarify what I mean.

Using the opensrf log we have been able to find out the cause of the 
issue as we were getting error messages like this one:

[2021-02-01 21:34:29] open-ils.vandelay [ERR 
:7692:Vandelay.pm:272:1612211178912619] unable to read MARC file 
/tmp/56feb3dd5296fc1f8e579bdc8b29dca7.mrc

These point to the 272nd line of Vandelay.pm 
(https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=blob;f=Open-ILS/src/perlmods/lib/OpenILS/Application/Vandelay.pm;hb=43a802ae2c56c9342bfd3a6a4556292d00760d3e 
<https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=blob;f=Open-ILS/src/perlmods/lib/OpenILS/Application/Vandelay.pm;hb=43a802ae2c56c9342bfd3a6a4556292d00760d3e>).

We are unsure whether it may be a permissions issue (if so, does anyone 
happen to know a complete list of Evergreen permissions needed for the 
MARC batch import to run and go through all the stages of data 
processing?) or something else entirely.

Thank you in advance for any advice!

Linda
