[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Marc Export Script Error

[Jesse McCarty]

Dan,

The Marc records are exported and then supplied to Boopsie for inclusion in the mobile app (runs weekly to provide updates). The export is independent of data migration activities, and is one of the functions I am trying to ensure is in working order prior to a planned fall deployment. Currently library staff are reviewing the records in question to see if they can figure out what is broken in them.

Jesse,

Getting back to what you are trying to accomplish, is there a particular reason you are exporting your MARC records?  If you're just migrating the whole database to a new server, I'd say exporting and reimporting the MARC isn't something you'd need (or want) to do.  It's also possible you're actually talking about a data dump and restore, and I am just misunderstanding.

It might still be worth looking over those records to see if you can spot the problem, but honestly, a database with only three records with shoddy MARC isn't bad at all :)

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Marc Export Script Error

Hi Everyone,

I am working on a new Evergreen Server to deploy in the fall (Ubuntu 14.04, Postgres 9.3 - Current system is Ubuntu 12.04, Postgres 9.2) and am running into an error with the marc_extract script. The script works with no issue on the production system running Postgres 9.2, but after I import the current production data into a test server (identical to the current production server, with older DB data) and upgrade Postgres to 9.3 it stops working with the following error:

Error in bibliographic record 168171
Substr outside of string at /usr/share/perl5/MARC/Record.pm line 573

There are two other bibliographic records that have the error as well (168498 & 172482).

The new database seems to be working otherwise (attached is a screen shot of the output of the pg_upgradecluster results) even though the upgrade showed some errors.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
