[Archivesspace_Users_Group] MARCXML import

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hi Ben,


Sorry about the delay...been working hard preparing the next release.


Took a look at your MARC file. The importer uses the 090 field as the resources id_0 ( which has to be unique ).

The MARC file has a few records with duplicate 090 fields...


Count     Field

2             090    $a HCLA 1710 ,

2             090    $a HCLA 1710 ,
2             090    $a PSUA 181 ,
2             090    $a RBM 3182 ,
21           090    $a RBM 2601 ,


A few options to fix this...one would be to tweak the MARC input to change the 090 fields. Another would be to tweak the importer to map the id_0 field to another value or generate some other value.

I can help you do which ever option you think is best...


b,chris.

Can you send me a copy, Ben, of the MARCXM that is causing the problem?

Thanks,

Brad

Hi Brad,

This occurs down the line in the batch a bit, maybe 20 or 30 records in. It's the only occurrence that I know of, because the import fails once it gets there.

Hi, Ben,

Where does the record cited below occur in the batch?  Start?  Later?

Is this the only occurrence of this problem during the batch import?

Hello,

We are attempting to import a large batch of records using the MARCXML import feature and encountering the following error. Is this related to the Identifier field? (As suggested by Rachel previously, we changed our MARC 099 fields to 090 to support mapping to the Identifier field.) If so, I am fairly certain the identifier in question does not exist in ASpace already.

Thanks,
Ben
