Description Cori Lynn Arnold 2020-01-16 18:40:36 UTC
The -match option for bulkmarcimport says:

-match=<FIELD>
FIELD matchindex,fieldtomatch matchpoint to use to deduplicate fieldtomatch can be either 001 to 999 or field and list of subfields as such 100abcde

This seems to indicate that you put a number in the FIELD parameter, but really you are putting the "Koha Search Index" text a comma and then the MARC field:

-match=<KohaIndex,FIELD> or -match=Control-number,001

I was only able to figure this out because someone else was confused:
