    Problem Symptoms

    • When bib is discarded due to quality, so is mfhd.
    • Add-Conditional will import the mfhd if the bib is matched & discarded in Voyager 8.2.0 and higher.

    Defect Status

    Issue 16384-20785 is resolved in bulkimport for Voyager 8.2.0.

    Replication steps

    1. Find or create an interleaved bib-mfhd file.
    2. Ensure mfhd record will not match and overlay existing mfhd(s) for the bib.
    3. Set up a bibliographic duplicate detection profile so that at least one bib will have a match in the database. i.e.,
      • Duplicate handling=Replace
      • Duplicate replace=100
      • Field Definitions=BBID; Field Weight=100
      • Quality hierarchy set up so incoming bibs will be lower quality than existing.
    4. Add the bib duplicate detection profile to a bulk import rule that is set to Load Bibs, Auths Only.
    5. Import the file with the import rule you created and the -m parameter. Pbulkimport -f<filepath and name> -i<rule code> -m
    6. Look at the log for the bib(s) that the duplicate detection profile matched to existing bib(s) in the database; should look similar to this:
    13(7):Duplicate Bibs above threshold: replace 1, warning 0.
    BibID & rank
    50006 - 100
    QUALITY Incoming record rejected because of quality.
    14: Previous record not added.

    And the mfhd record is discarded as well as the bib.

    Workaround

    Reimport bib-mfhd file with Add-Conditional profile that will match every bib, and add/replace all mfhds.

    Additional Information

    Fixed for Add-Conditional duplicate handling with Issue 16384-18897.
