2019-03-18 - Data Migration Subgroup Agenda and Notes

Discussion of Data Loader issues, features, user stories, and priorities.

Updates from Patty:

• Q2 2019 Data Import Planning document reviewed
• source record storage - new, record of truth
• team creating a command line data loader for instances ...more...?
• Recommended MARC to Inventory Instance mapping -- working document
• other data loaders needed: holdings,items, users, reference data, open loans, funds, vendors, open invoices, open requests,fees/fines,
  • we'll need to prioritize this list
• Discussion: data loader - sole purpose → move json records (that have been transformed from previous system) into FOLIO. The transforming of local records to the required json format is the responsibility of each institution.
• Data Loader Requirements document
• Migration Tools Jira (UXPROD-850)
• Discussion:
  • We need to be able to migrate all data from existing systems into our sandbox instances by July 2019.
  • We need to define things that make it manageable for us. Defining what we need = we have some guides for acceptance testing.
  • We need to abstract requirements out so they can apply to other loaders. / Disagreement
  • Select an area we want to load, define it. That is our exercise...do something real...first pass...then adjust.
    • This work can be used as a template for other data loading moving forward.
  • Resources for this?
  • We need to understand what data migration tools will be available & by when. We need clarity. Data loader? Features? Timeline?
• Patty won't attend the next meeting.
