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.
