Re: [Koha] Software error: Can't call method "branchname" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 1627.

Hi Bruck,

I am honestly not sure what to recommend to you in order to fix this. :(

You can't set the branchcode to NULL or empty - the branchcode is the
primary key of the branches table and referenced in a lot of other
tables. Which is why this is not an easy fix. Ideally changing it in the
branches table would update the other tables - but I doubt that we have
FK in place for all the tables you'd want that to happen. You already
created a mix of values by running the SQL query on your items table.

If doing it in the GUI, the easiest way might be to create a new branch,
move all items, move all patrons and then delete the old branch. This
way you would still have statistics referring to the old branch, but it
might give you a clean starting point again.

Hi Katrin,

one record in the whole table, please see below the result and it

My question are:

branchcode - in the backend or on staff/client?

Many thanks,

Hi Bruck,

that's a wild guess now, but it's something we have seen happen: an
extra space somewhere will not show in your SQL queries and results -
branchcodes with and without will even group together. But Perl
notices the difference when comparing strings. Say Koha finds "WIDER"
in the item, but your configured branch is  "WIDER " - then it will
attempt to send it to the latter and put the item 'in transit'.

I am not quite sure how to best check for that, something along these
lines might work:

SELECT * from items WHERE
    CHAR_LENGTH(homebranch) != CHAR_LENGTH("WIDER")
    OR CHAR_LENGTH(holding) != CHAR_LENGTH("WIDER");

SELECT * from branches WHERE CHAR_LENGTH(branchcode) !=
CHAR_LENGTH("WIDER")

Also: Check if you have default values set for $a $b in your
frameworks and if there are any extra spaces there.

Hope this helps,

Katrin

You should then see if there are values that are not valid branchcodes in your

What does the configuration of your 952 fields look like? Especially $a and $b?

select tagfield, tagsubfield from marc_subfield_structure where

What does your item form look like? For example you can compare it to one of 
our demo installations that should be closer to default.

Maybe this could get you a step closer.

Hi Jonathan,

I have been connected to this Koha channel 
(https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=koha) through a browser for a while now, 
but I do not see any activity. May be I am not in the right, Can you send me 
the link to the right channel.

Many thanks,
Bruck T.

I am expecting to see something just before this error. Maybe you did not 
restart plack?
Consider jumping into IRC and catch me there, that would be easier ;)

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Bruck,

that's correct. Depending on the IRC client you are using, you might
have to enter the port separately.

Hi Bruck,

the web link hasn't worked for me in a while - the #koha tab doesn't
open and only the status one is shown for me. Do you have access to a
program like pidgin or another IRC client maybe that you could use
instead?

I am expecting to see something just before this error. Maybe you did
not restart plack?
Consider jumping into IRC and catch me there, that would be easier ;)

[Tadesse, Bruck]

Jonathan,
I am not sure if I am looking in the right place and thanks for your patient 
with me. I opened the " intranet-error.log " log file (tail -f 
intranet-error.log) in the backend and see the result below. Could this be any 
helpful.

Thanks.

Re: [Koha] Software error: Can't call method "branchname" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 1627.

[Tadesse, Bruck]

Jonathan,

Thanks, the SQL query returns empty set. I have also added the debug statement 
just before the line 1627 and there is no change to the error message. Thinking 
it is a browser cache issue, I changed computer and browser, the debug 
statement didn’t bring any change to the error message.

This is how it looks now in ...C4/biblio.pm 
# branch
if ( $tagslib->{$tag}->{$subfield}->{'authorised_value'} eq "branches" 
) {
warn $value;
return Koha::Libraries->find($value)->branchname;
  }

Thanks,
Bruck T.

Bruck,

My understanding of the error is that you have a field that is mapped with the 
"authorised value" branches (that's not a real authorised value). But at least 
one of those field has a value that is not a branchcode defined in your system.

The weird thing is that, by default, only item's fields are mapped with 
"branches", 952$a and 952$b Can you try this SQL query: select tagfield, 
tagsubfield from marc_subfield_structure where authorised_value="branches" and 
tagfield != 952; Does it return something?

To know which value we are searching search, you could also add a debug 
statement
warn $value;
 before
1627 return Koha::Libraries->find($value)->branchname;

Re: [Koha] Software error: Can't call method "branchname" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 1627.

[Jonathan Druart]

Bruck,

My understanding of the error is that you have a field that is mapped
with the "authorised value" branches (that's not a real authorised
value). But at least one of those field has a value that is not a
branchcode defined in your system.

The weird thing is that, by default, only item's fields are mapped
with "branches", 952$a and 952$b
Can you try this SQL query: select tagfield, tagsubfield from
marc_subfield_structure where authorised_value="branches" and tagfield
!= 952;
Does it return something?

To know which value we are searching search, you could also add a
debug statement
warn $value;
 before
1627 return Koha::Libraries->find($value)->branchname;

Regards,
Jonathan

Dear Karam,

Thanks, Since the update didn’t result in solving the problem, I will revert 
back for now. I have taken a snapshot of the VM, so it easy to do that. I would 
still appreciate any advice that would help me resolve the underlying problem 
of updating the items.

Thanks,

Hello Bruck,

This query (UPDATE items SET homebranch='LIB', holdingbranch='LIB') )  is very 
dangerous.

This will set all (homebranch  and holdingbranch )  in your items table to be 
LIB for all items!

if that is not what you want, then try to retrieve a backup from ( 
/var/spool/koha ) or anywhere else you store your backups .

Please note that LIB should be one of your branches custom code. so are you 
sure it is LIB in your Koha installation ?
Regards.

(UPDATE items SET homebranch='LIB', holdingbranch='LIB'). I have done that and 
did the full reindex. But, that does not seem to have helped. Please advise.

Many thanks,
