Hello Raymond,
Please see attached .txt file for sample session in Yaz. Once you have the Yaz
client installed, you work off of command line interface. In windows, Yaz opens
up a command prompt like window with a Z> prompt.
It's a very useful tool to troubleshoot what you're getting from a Z39.50
server -- in our case, it came in very useful recently to determine that the
output format from one of our Z39.50 targets was sending us some bad data (in
turn helping us determine what needed to be fixed was not in Evergreen but in
an external system, etc.)
Good luck!

Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Network errors when attempting z39.50 imports
I cleared the logs, and only get this one error when attempting to import a
record from LOC:
grep ERR /openils/var/log/*.log
/openils/var/log/osrfsys.log:open-ils.cstore 2010-06-11 13:41:41 [ERR
:3228:oils_cstore.c:5045:127628152433102] open-ils.cstore ERROR No "datatype"
attribute for field "tcn_value"
No other errors pop up until the import is attempted.
I have zero experience with the yaz-client. Would you have know what the
command would be to import a a test record via yaz?

Sample YAZ session.
Authenticate if needed
Z> auth username/password
Open a connection to the target z39.50 server (210 is usually the port #)
Z> o tcp:myserver.org:210
Select a database
Z> base the-z3950-database-name
(usually something like "INNOPAC" or "UNICORN" etc.)
Select a record format
Z> format usmarc
Search for title (that what the @attr 1=4 bit says)
Z> find @attrset Bib-1 @attr 1=4 nepean
you can actually leave out the @attrset Bib-1 if you like as this is
defaulted.
Get some results back (ask for 5 from the first)
Z> show 1+5
or just show the one record.
Z> show 1
if the target responds with 'result set naming not supported' or similar then
type
Z> setname
also
Z> element F
Z> element B
toggle between brief and Full ElementSetNames (i.e. brief and full records).
Say goodbye
Z> quit
If you want to search on atrributes other than title,
replace the 4 with the relevant use atrribute number.
