Hello Linda, I think the Authority ingest uses the MARC21slim2MADS.xsl 
transform file to convert the authority data into MADS format.  Could you try 
manually processing your problem authority record using the MADS file instead 
of the MODS and see what you get.

The MADS xsl does look like it references tag 155.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Cannot save authority record with a 155 field


Hi,

back in August we started investigating why we couldn't proceed with upgrade 
from 2.12.6 to 3.1.4 (for more details please see 
http://libmail.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-general/2018-August/015298.html).

After removing obviously invalid MARCXML records (which surprisingly made their 
way to our 2.12 installation) we still have some records which cannot be 
reingested (or saved).

Attached is a sample record americke_romany.xml which is one of those 
troublesome ones. It is a genre/form term record with the main heading in the 
field 155.

We have tried the SQL upgrade from 2.12.6 to 3.0.0 without authority records 
reingest (the particular lines were commented out) and, once we were at 3.1.4, 
used the web client to save this particular record (without actually making any 
changes in it). However, it appeared that it could not be saved:

open-ils.pcrud 2018-10-26 09:33:37 [ERR 
:49144:oils_sql.c:6570:15405352984867814] open-ils.pcrud ERROR updating 
authority::record_entry object with id = 356: 56966976 56966976: ERROR: runtime 
error: file unknown-55cee6a934f0 element attribute

xsl:attribute: Cannot add attributes to an element if children have been 
already added to the element.

at line 31.

CONTEXT: PL/Perl function "oils_xslt_process"

---

Using this error message, we began to suspect a XSLT transformation being the 
culprit. We have taken XSL files from Evergreen (those from 
http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=tree;f=Open-ILS/xsl;h=68fd13ffb2ad01ef9ceacf9f18695f25d284df05;hb=HEAD).
 When they were used (xsltproc MARC21slim2MODS33.xsl  americke_romany.xml > 
output.xml), the contents of the 155 field (which is a heading and therefore 
one of the most important parts of the record) was never included in the output 
(please see the attached output.xml file).

Then we used a web client again to change the 155 tag to the 100 tag (and 
deleted another possible troublesome tag 755). After making these changes, the 
record could be saved.

So the question is:

Where should we add the 155 field (probably in which of the XSLT files) to make 
sure those records can be saved (or of course reingested)?

Thank you in advance for any hints!

Linda
