Description Chris Cormack 2010-05-21 01:09:20 UTC


---- Reported by dschust1@gmail.com 2009-06-18 15:34:18 ----

Kohaʼs patron import tool is currently available only as a web script available in the Koha staff inter-face. Because some libraries need to be able to schedule automatic patron import runs, the patron import functionality should also be available as a command-line tool.

The command-line version of the patron import tool will function in the same way as the web-based version and specifically will include the following features:
• CSV patron file format
• Setting match point
• Setting default values for specific fields
• Option to replace or add records when a match is found.
• Loading of patron attribute values.

Does this also allow for updating borrower data?  Such as loading an address change?

Yes it does - so far the testing looks as if it does everything the manual web interface does.

We work with many products which import data from our student information system on a fixed schedule. I would like to see this functionality brought to Koha too.

We have a customer who would like to use this facility.  They prepare a user/patron feed in a format that works in the staff interface and want to script it for regular use.  We would be happy to help test it that will help.

As far as I can tell, this is similar to bug 12598, which has a patch.
