I thought we should reserve a little time for people to discuss their current work on data migration, to bring up issues, etc.

• (Uschi) GBV signed contract with Index Data to develop loading of data from the Union Catalog to FOLIO; they will use a function in the Union Catalog to export the data, the data will be converted, then the data will be loaded into Inventory; they plan to have a prototype available in Q1 2020
• (Jason) TAMU developers streamlining data migration modules; (Anne) challenges because the same location code cannot be in two different parts of the FOLIO hierarchy
• (Patty) University of Alabama is loading data to SRS and surfacing through a custom map, and looking into loading users from Banner (student data system)
• (Anne) TAMU has done a lot of work on loading orders, but put it on hold because there is  reworking being done in Finance modules

Topics suggested the December 16 Data Migration meeting: 

• Jason may be ready to talk about the local on-prem Postgres database solution configuration at TAMU for their FOLIO implementation
• WolfCon update
• general data migration updates
