[Koha-devel] Fwd: Generating transactions

[Anne-Lena Westrum]

Hello,

Thank you Chris, John and Magnus for your reply! :)

Surely the best result would be if we could load our transaction data into Koha. This does however sound like a fairly comprehensive task, and would more or less look like a complete migration. 

That is not what we want at this moment. Mainly because we do not have access to the data, but they are also connected with an intricate privacy policy. It is not a trivial - or cheap - thing for us to get an export of the transaction data.

As you understand; dummydata is still preferable. But I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up for a script like the one I described... :(

It would be very interesting to know if there exists a step-by-step manual for migrating transaction data. What kind of format (or protocol) is used to import this kind of data into Koha?

Hi Anne-Lenna:

Years ago we tried to write such a script but it was much more
complicated than we expected. ?For proof of concepts and demo purposes
why not just load, from your current ILS, your transaction data into
Koha? ?You will have to learn how to do this anyway so why not work
out the transaction transfer now.
