Use -i in marc_export exclude records with located URIs.should at least include records with located URIs

[Francisco Guel]

EG version: 2.6.0
Debian Squeeze

I were trying to export some records to marc using the marc_export file, but when I use the -i flag, I don´t get the marc records that have located URIs, Dyrcona told me that "the -i option to include item information excludes records without copies." but it should include the records with located URIs.

Thanks.

It's debatable if this is a bug or a missing feature, so I'm setting the importance to wish list. If others with the powers disagree, please change the importance.

I can confirm that if the -i (--items) options is specified in the post-2.6 marc export that only records with copies will be exported. The holdings export excludes records with located URIs as well as records without copies or URIs. This is true even if the --all (-a) option is specified.

It is open for discussion whether there should be an additional option to export URIs and/or empty records when --items is specified, or if those records should just be included when --items is specified.

As an added twist, records with asset.call_number entries will be exported if the --library option is used. The call number's owning_lib link is used to determine what records should be exported. This means that records with asset URIs may get exported if the --library option is used without the --items option. The --items option will stil prevent them being exported if --library is specified.

I propose resolving this by adding a new option to export records with located URIs. This option will be orthogonal to the --items option, so if you want both items and records with located URIs, then you will need to use both options.

Also, this new option will export all records with located URIs if the --library or --descendants options are omitted.

My working branch is user/dyrcona/lp1350916-marc_export-located-uris :

You wan the top two commits for release notes and the actual code.

I believe it is ready for testing/merging, and I have used it in production.

I was actually just thinking about this a few days ago (and then forgot
about it when the holiday hit) but I agree to the new option. +1

Looks good to me, and seems to work as advertised. Pushed to master. Thanks, Jason!
