Thank you.

I am able to do a basic search now and need to do a test record import into our new system. I am not seeing the command to do this in the text file.

What would the syntax be to import the following record from my search at library.usc.edu?


"650  0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1933-1945) $z Germany."

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!

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?

As a test, I logged into an evergreen demo system and imported a record from

but no go.

I'd still be tempted to use yaz-client from your server to see if
there a connection problem (firewall, etc.) between your server and
their Z39.50 server.


Wow, didn't realize there would be so many logs. Which one should I be
tailing to troubleshoot this?

I'd grep all of them like so:

grep \\[ERR /openils/var/log/*

Anything that matches is bad and noteworthy.

Generally osrfsys.log is a good one to be following.
