---- 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.

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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 12598 ***
