Hi all,
Currently we are trying to import (bibliographic) data from an outdated
library system to Evergreen 2.0 (or the latest version available). We
have about 16,000 bibliographic records. These have been converted from
UNIMARC to MARCXML using scripts preperad by a programmer (a friend of
ours ;-) ). The converted data are not a hundred percent correct – e.g.,
we are aware about errors in leader and 008 field and will clean it up
somehow.
At this moment we have 24 new bibliographic records (including holdidngs
data) in our Evergreen database. The system is already almost configured
as desired. So now we need to import those 16,000 or so records to
Evergreen (and renumber them).
We have tried the following command:
marc_cleanup -m jabok_stage2_cista.xml --fullauto -o clean.marc.xml -rf
25 -ot 001
.. and a number of other combinations when it comes to parameters of
this command. But so far none of the clean.marc.xml files created did
contain renumbered IDs. The file old2new.map has been created as expected.
We have managed to insert data into the empty database using Evergreen
2.0 official documentation (and step 10 and the following ones) and the
command:
marc2bre.pl --db_user evergreen --db_host localhost --db_pw XXX
--db_name evergreen --idfield 001 --marctype=XML -f clean.marc.xml
--used_tcn_file=used_tcns > evergreen_bre_import_file.bre
In this case the original system numbers have been preserved (only the
first three letters „KPS“ at the beginning of the system numbers were
removed).
How should we proceed so that we can import data with renumbered IDs? So
far we have only come up with the idea to use a home-made script which
would replace KPS# with the number taken from old2new.map in 001 field
(which is far from ideal of course).
Both the input and output data are available at
http://213.220.227.200:81/evergreen.
Thank you in advance for your help!
