I tried yaz-client lx2.loc.gov/LCDB and the result was Connecting......error = System (lower-layer) error: connection time out
What could have been the problem? I also tried Z> f @attr 1=4 "special relativity" and shows Not connected yet. Thank you for your kind responses.

It works for me when I tested just now, although the LoC Z39.50 server is known to have occasional outages. If you have access to the command line on your Koha server, try the following command: yaz-client lx2.loc.gov/LCDB If it can connect at all, you should see something like this: Connecting...OK. Sent initrequest. Connection accepted by v3 target.

If it *can* connect, you can try running a search at the "Z>" prompt like this: Z> f @attr 1=4 "special relativity" If it works, you should see something like this: in particular, what you're looking for is whether it returns a non-zero number of hits: Sent searchRequest. Received SearchResponse. Search was a success. Number of hits: 138, setno 1 records returned: 0 Elapsed: 0.847077 To exit yaz-client, just enter "quit" at the "Z>" prompt. If you get this far and the yaz-client test indicates that the Koha server can reach and search LoC's Z39.50 server, then the next thing to check is the Z39.50 target definitions, which you can find in Home › Administration › Z39.50/SRU servers in the staff interface. The entry for the LC Z39.50 server should have values like this: Server name: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Hostname: lxc.loc.gov Port: 210 Database: LCDB Syntax: MARC21/USMARC Encoding: utf8 Record type: Bibliographic Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton Infrastructure and Added Services Manager Equinox Software, Inc. / Open Your Library email: [email protected] direct: +1 770-709-5581 cell: +1 404-984-4366 skype: gmcharlt web: http://www.esilibrary.com/ Supporting Koha and Evergreen: http://koha-community.org & http://evergreen-ils.org _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org [email protected] https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
