Acquisitions process seems to be adding records with incorrect
representation of the MARC encoding in leader/09. It should be
'a' meaning UTF-8, for all Koha's internalized records, but in
many cases it appears blank (for MARC-8). This script diagnoses
and repairs the value in the leader, depending on runtime options.
The symptom of this problem is that high-value UNICODE characters
in the record will cause Koha to crash whenever it tries to parse
the MARCXML, giving a "Wide character" fatal. While we work on
fixing the input, this script will fix the existing data.

If series title was previously taken as collectiontitle
then you should launch
misc/maintenance/UNIMARC_fix_collectiontitle.pl
misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl
[RM note: applies only to UNIMARC users - MARC21
users should not run the batch jobs.]

Pulled the GetMarcFromKohaField outside the loop, since we only need to
check it once. Same for $item_sth. Added safety checks for success of
delete_field and GetMarcItem, with warnings on failure.

misc/maintenance/fix_accountlines_date.pl runs through the accountlines table and converts every date in the 'description' column from us or metric format (specified on the command line) to the format in the 'dateformat' syspref.

Created a new script, sync_items_to_marc_bib.pl,
to replace the item tags embedded in the MARC bib
records with fresh versions taken from the items table.
This script should be run as follows:
maintenance/sync_items_to_marc_bib.pl --run-update
Assuming that you're using Zebra, rebuild_zebra.pl -b -z
or rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r should be run after running
this script.
This script should be run if you have used
link_bibs_to_authorities.pl prior to the first
patch for bug 2258. It can also be used if there
is any reason to suspect that the embedded item tags
do not reflect the items table.
With this script I am creating a maintenance/ subdirectory of
misc/ to hold scripts that are meant to fix problems
in the database but are not (or should not be, anyway) necessary
for regular use.
Documentation: add to documentation for server side scripts
