             Bug #: 6756
           Summary: Patron anonymizing tool reports false success
    Classification: Unclassified
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: master

          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: Tools

Problem: Koha gives you no hint, that you have to set up an anonymous patron
(system preference AnonymousPatron) for the anonymization to work correctly.
Even worse, if you don't have one, it will still report successfull deletion of
patron's history, even though nothing has changed in the old_issues table and
no informatoin was deleted or anonymized.

To reproduce:
- Check your AnonymousPatorn system preference is empty
- Go to Tools > Delete some old patrons/Anonymize some check-out histor
- Uncheck 'Delete borrower who has not borrowed since...'
- Select a date near to the present for 'Anonymize check-out history older
than...' and 'next'
- Check that it reports more than 0 to be anonymized and 'next'
> Koha reports successful deletion

If you check the old_issues table before and after the process you will see
that nothing has changed.

With an anonymous patron set up correctly it works well.
