Testing
	Housekeeping: Update Jira issue Retest https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/MODDATAIMP-1199 based on testing and create new Jira issue for marc to instance match to update srs and instance.	The tests done did not work. The SIG would like to be able to do both updates in one job. JE will finish the testing and update the ticket after the meeting.
	Update instance, holdings, and item in reverse order (Line 6 in New Topics spreadsheet.)	@Ryan Taylor will speak more with the developers about this. If more info is needed, can consult with Christie for logs or IndexData? to view logs and jobs.
	Discussion (Continue on 4/15): https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/MODDATAIMP-1290 https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/MODINVSTOR-1363	Recent change in Sunflower - Needs review. Was not reviewed before implementation. in order to prevent redundant updates if the incoming record matches the existing the system does nothing. This is the intended functionality. On the DI side, our logs aren’t granular enough to reflect that. The log says updated even when there is no change. How is this affecting the users? Ryan will confirm if the system is doing a full comparison of the records. The concern is that now the logs and the reports are not reliable and its affecting our workflows. Ryan proposed two questions. Poll is in slack: How would you feel if Data Import Logs were enhanced to say "Unchanged" when it encountered a record that was the same as one processed earlier Would you be fine if the current behavior as explained in the issues linked in post above continues, if the updated date and user are reflected by recent jobs rather than this "Unchanged" or no update action?
