Hello everyone, I have been doing some authority related tests of EG 2.2 beta2 on my own local server and the Indiana test server, and I have noticed some authority related issues. I was wondering if others had seen these same issues.
1) I can't seem to batch import authority records with Vandelay. For my tests I am not using "match sets" or "overlay profiles". I am just clicking on "import non-matching records". This works fine for bib record imports, but nothing happens when I click "upload" when using auth records. I am thinking of submitting this as a bug for beta2. BTW, I do get this error on the JS console when I click upload.... ---------------- Error: Method error: undefined : *** Call to [open-ils.vandelay.authority_queue.create] failed for session [0.9289250462796181335209562004], thread trace [2]: Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/OpenILS/Application/Vandelay.pm line 113. Source File: http://10.4.45.5/js/dojo/dojo/dojo.js Line: 188 ----------------- 2) I am also having issues with merging authority records defined by a authority custom control set. I wonder if others that have authority custom control sets are having this issue? Here the ESI documentation for authority control sets: http://www.esilibrary.com/esi/docs/?p=771 Here is my bug for this issue: "bib data goes missing after merging custom/local authority records" https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/983487 3) I am also having display issues with corporate names (bib tag 110/710) within the EG client's MARC edit view's context menus when trying to quickly create a new authority record based on a bib tag text. Normally, when right clicking a 1xx/7xx tag in the MARC edit a context menu will suggest similarly spelled pre-existing authority records. The issue I am having is that this does not happen if I right click a 110 or 710 bib tag. Though if I right click on a 100 or 700 tag the context menu always lists similarly spelled pre-existing authority records. I first reported this issue back in November, but that was on a server that at the time was using master. Though it did not happen on a 2.1 official release test server back then. Here is the original letter: http://georgialibraries.markmail.org/thread/xs4cqm7njpzzzkup Is this affecting anyone out there? I am thinking of also submitting this as a bug for beta2. Thanks in advance for any feedback, Yamil
