  • Hotfix release experiences
  • Historical circulation migration data is getting difficult.  Across FOLIO versions, migrations have not worked.  Getting history from Voyager is getting more difficult.  Important to current and existing libraries.
    • A problem for historical open and closed loans data.  Some libraries may decide to not transfer closed loans. 
    • Difficult for migration and offline circulation!
    • Needed for reporting as well.  Might be stored in a separate file.
    • No stories written for this.  
    • How and when to suppress notices for migrated data?  Saving tenant configuration util after migration seems to help.  Or set to an invalid server.
    • ToDo: Discuss with PO team
  • SAML integration at Chicago
    • Mod-login SMAL is not federation aware.  No way to get automatic updates.  No self registering.  
    • How can configurations be preserved between instances.
    • Federation support is really needed.
    • Want to release SAML attributes for actions in FOLIO.
    • A particular identity can be automatically authorized to login.
    • mod-SAML isn't actively maintained.  Will be very important over the coming year and more.
    • It would be an advantage to FOLIO to have active dev in this area.
    • Apache has modules for being a provider.  NGINX has a 3rd party tool for this as well.  Could FOLIO rely on these tools for SAML authentication and attribute release.  Would eliminate the need to maintain the FOLIO SAML code.
    • FOLIO would need to be able to consume the data from both modules.
    • ToDo:  Need several tickets for this in JIRA. Tod will create the ticket.
    • Need a PO for this.
