Description Jared Camins-Esakov 2012-09-09 12:10:14 UTC
The symptoms of the problem are as follows:

In the log file, we get the following errors:
[Sun Sep 02 23:38:10 2012] [error] [client 75.149.175.233] ZOOM error 25
"Specified element set name not valid for specified database" (addinfo:
"F") from diag-set 'Bib-1', referer:
http://****/cgi-bin/koha/authorities/authorities.pl?authid=3010
[Sun Sep 02 23:38:11 2012] [error] [client 75.149.175.233] Premature end of
script headers: authorities.pl, referer:
http://****/cgi-bin/koha/authorities/authorities.pl?authid=3010

The actual authority record was updated (here I added a bogus 'J').
=LDR  00372nz  a2200133o  4500
=001  3010
=003  UkLoVW

=942  \\$aPERSO_NAME

A search in Authorities for 'Bearman" returns this (the old contents), but
following details gets updated record:
Authority search results

Results 1 to 1 of 1
 Summary Used in Delete Bearman, C. J.
Details

biblio(s)

Biblios are likewise not update with the new text.
Running 'rebuild_zebra.pl -a -r -v' fixed the Authority search results, but
not the biblios, in particular the 700 field where Bearman is listed as a
secondary author.
Same issue if I modify the primary author Authority on a biblio, the
biblios are not updated with the changed content.

The cause for this seems to be the use of the xml syntax in the merge function. git bisect failed me, but sometime before 3.8.0 (possibly last November), our Zebra config changed and the xml syntax stopped working.

Bug 8743: ZOOM error when merging authority change to biblios

The merge fails and the following errors appear in the log:
[Sun Sep 02 23:38:10 2012] [error] [client 75.149.175.233] ZOOM error 25
"Specified element set name not valid for specified database" (addinfo:
"F") from diag-set 'Bib-1', referer:
http://****/cgi-bin/koha/authorities/authorities.pl?authid=3010
[Sun Sep 02 23:38:11 2012] [error] [client 75.149.175.233] Premature end of
script headers: authorities.pl, referer:
http://****/cgi-bin/koha/authorities/authorities.pl?authid=3010

Test plan:
1) Set dontmerge to "Do"
2) Find an authority that is linked to a bib record.
3) Edit the main entry of the authority.
4) Save the authority record.
5) Notice that you got a nasty error and the bib record was not updated.
6) Apply patch.
7) Edit the main entry of the authority again (you can just set it back
   to what it was to start with).
8) Save authority record.
9) Notice that there was no error, and the bib record was updated.
10) Sign off.
