Description Nick Clemens 2020-09-01 13:29:21 UTC
Remove unused authorities checks if an authority is used

If not it calls DelAuthority

DelAuthority checks if the authority is used and removes it from records if it is.

We should pass 'skip_merge' when calling form this script as we have already checked the usage here

Bug 26337: Pass skip_merge to DelAuthority when removing unsused authorities

This script checks that an authority is not being used before deleting it.
We do not need to check biblios for the authority id as we have already verified it is unused.

TO test:
 1 - Reset db to koha test database
 2 - perl misc/migration_tools/remove_unused_authorities.pl -t
 3 - Note a number of unsued authorities
 4 - perl misc/migration_tools/remove_unused_authorities.pl -c
 5 - Note authorities are removed
 6 - Reset db
 7 - Apply patch
 8 - perl misc/migration_tools/remove_unused_authorities.pl -t
 9 - Note results are the same
10 - perl misc/migration_tools/remove_unused_authorities.pl -c
11 - Note results are the same
