Current migration activities

group

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

Next Meeting (Dec 16)

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
