Bug 33036: REST API: Merge biblio records implements merging of records
+ attached items, subscriptions etc via the API as an alternative to the web interface: cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/merge.pl
This is a slightly improved version of Zenos patch: I (domm) have converted the code in Koha::Biblio to a more DBICy style and packed it into a transaction (as requested in Comment 23)
Even the QA script is happy now!
To test:
1) you need an API user with the permissions "editcatalogue"
2) two records: one to be merged into (with biblio_id, eg 262) and another one from
which to merge (with biblio_id_to_merge, eg 9) which will be deleted!
both records may/should have items, subscription, subscriptionhistory, serial, suggestions
orders and holds
3) check both records via the web
4) Apply patch
5) Write a JSON file with inside the field 'biblio_id_to_merge' and the biblionumber from wihich to merge.
As example:
{
"biblio_id_to_merge" : 9
}
6) Execute an API call with correct headers and location. For example:
curl -s -u koha:koha --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Accept: application/marc-in-json"
--request POST "http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/biblios/262/merge" -d @file.json
You must to setup the headers and to use a json file with parameters
7) The record with the id 9 is deleted now, the record with 262 has all items, etc attached,
the return is: return code 200 and the changed record 262 in marc-in-json format
8) It is possible to override biblio data with an external bib record. You need to put external bib record
into the json file in marc-in-json format. To write use the json file uploaded as example
You need to fill the fields 'rules' and 'datarecord'. The field 'rules' must contains 'override_ext'
To do the call:
curl -s -u koha:koha --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Accept: application/marc-in-json"
--request POST "http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/biblios/XXX/merge" -d @file_with_recod.json
9) The record in 'biblio_id_to_merge' is deleted now, in biblio XXX now there are the bibliographic data
of field 'datarecord' of json file, the return is: return code 200 and the changed record XXX in marc-in-json format
10) Go into intranet and do a search. Select two or (better) more record.
11) Merge them; merge must be a success.
12) Test with prove -v t/db_dependent/Koha/Biblio.t
13) Test with prove -v t/db_dependent/api/v1/biblios.t
To test with curl the step 8 you can customize the json file attached in bugzilla.
The marc-in-json record inside follows the MAR21 standard
