After importing our records (Normarc), we need to do a demo of the different modules. Thus we are in desperate need of a script to generate users (approx 500.000) and transactions (3-4 millions) over a period of time (4-5 years).
We have had no luck searching for a script like this. Can someone help point us in the right direction?
Hi Anne-Lenna
Magnus our NORMARC export (he wrote all the NORMARC support for Koha and is from Norway also) is currently trying to sleep of a cold in Marseille. He has been there for the week with Koha developers from all around Europe working on a code sprint leading up to the release of Koha 3.4.0 on April 22 (which will have native NORMARC support).
I am sure he will answer when he wakes up :)
Or a little bit later... As for NORMARC, let's just say Norway is a small country... ;-)
As far as I know such a script does not exist. I would offer to write one, as it sounds like fun, but I am in the middle of release management work. I am sure however that one of the other developers could do this.
I thought it sounded like fun too, so I have started to work on one during the trip to and from Marseille. It's not finished yet, but I hope to get a long, good wait for the last plane home to Bodø, and I will let you know when it can be tested. Best regards, Magnus
