See chat transcript for more info - but the short version is that if you have independentbranches set to 'prevent' then even super librarians can't use the bib export tool to export from all libraries. [16:35] <nengard> has anyone used the marc export tool in 3.4? [16:35] * Guillaume (~Casaubon@AGrenoble-156-1-76-232.w90-41.abo.wanadoo.fr) has joined #koha [16:37] <nengard> i keep getting an empty file when i try to export [16:37] <nengard> i tried bib number range and date range [16:37] <nengard> but i think the date range is in the item record and my records don't have items [16:39] <gmcharlt> nengard: it's querying the items directly, not the copy of the items in the bib MARC [16:39] <wizzyrea> hmm [16:39] <nengard> gmcharlt, i don't understand what you mean ... i have 800 bib records with no items (holdings) does that mean I can't export the bibs? [16:40] <gmcharlt> nengard: correct; if the bibs have no items, they would not be selected by date range, since it's presently looking for the item dateaccessioned [16:41] <nengard> right - that i assumed, but I tried to do it using bib numbers [16:41] <nengard> and that didn't work either [16:41] <gmcharlt> if library, call number, itemtype, or date range is selected as the filter [16:41] <gmcharlt> will only pull in bibs that are linked to items [16:42] <gmcharlt> doing it by bib number shoudl work, but only if none of those other filters are selected [16:42] <nengard> http://screencast.com/t/xoONp6IE [16:42] <nengard> that's what i have [16:42] <nengard> and i get a blank marc file [16:44] <jcamins> nengard: you checked to make sure that those records are really there, right? [16:44] <nengard> yes :) [16:44] <jcamins> Okay. Just checking. [16:44] <nengard> well I know i have 4121 but maybe not 6000 [16:44] <gmcharlt> nengard: hmm, is indybranches turned on in that database by any chance? [16:45] <nengard> gmcharlt, shoudln't be ... let me go look [16:45] <nengard> gmcharlt it was!!! [16:45] <gmcharlt> nengard: ok, there's your answer [16:45] <nengard> it worked [16:45] <nengard> you're awesome :) thanks [16:46] <nengard> I must have turned it on to test something and forgot to turn it back off [16:46] <nengard> gmcharlt++ [16:46] <gmcharlt> if indybranches is turned on, it effectively adds a filter to the user session's current branch [16:46] <gmcharlt> ... [16:46] <gmcharlt> in some circumstances that could be construed as a bug [16:46] <nengard> that shouldn't be there for super librarians ... i would think [16:46] <nengard> for them it would be a bug [16:46] <nengard> right? [16:46] <gmcharlt> yeah [16:46] <gmcharlt> and it is a bug for them [16:46] <nengard> okay I report that as a bug then
