=====

MVP - the report is coming out today. It is incumbent upon the project to visualize this for people. While MVP is being worked on, implementers are also doing exercise to visualize.

Patty says that the report should provide a list of current UXPRODs with quarter placement.

Example - Patty in Alabama talking about using scripts to do user load versus Banner integration. Bulk Loader has been used by Texas A&M, Alabama

On data migration wiki site — there's info on what was developed. A spreadsheet for testing is there - with a users tab - see who did what and what they used and how long it ook.

Patty - group talking about delta - how often do we load users?

Could this be wrapped into the question about deletion?

First question - how does users support deletion right now?

Todd - we don't have the ability to do deletion user by user.

Patty - can we discuss how patron purges work?

Erin described how it works at Duke. Uschi described how it works at her institutions. Define script based on patron type, activity level, dependencies - then a test purge and review log file - and then do a real purge.

Patty - so can we write one feature — one story that would include purge script, and then one that would include deleting through the UI. Seems like there is consensus there.

A script that could handle deleting one patron would be an acceptable workaround for the GUI feature.

So - Patty - what about a constant loader? Something that would send updates when they happened.

Michelle - Lehigh has an OLE webservice piece that does a database transaction.

So - Patty - is the API feature on FOLIO compliant to accept updates this way?

Patty - next week we are in Sweden to do rigorous bug testing and implement ERM for Chalmers.

Patty will follow up with questions about bulk loading — FOLIO should be able to support scripting – but we seem to be missing the U in the CRUD.
