<div><font color="#5F497A">Greetings friends, my geek (who has graduated and is available less) checked out the situation last week and found that circulation history tied to patrons is completely gone; the table column show item numbers and the patron column
is empty. The damage occurred when I ran anonymize circulation history (4/7) while items were checked out. Fortunately the only items affected were those currently checked out.</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">Perhaps “damage” is too strong a word:</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">1. Affected items appear on overdue reports without patron data.</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">2. When I click on "download file of all overdues," the CSV file contains no data.</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">3. Affected checkouts and due-dates post-anonymize circulation history display with patrons but not with items.</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">4. Affected items checked-in are “not checked out” - they cannot be returned so are forever overdue? is this because they are separated from patron data?</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">5. Affected items appear on overdue reports even after they have been returned or reissued.</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">6. Affected items cannot be deleted because they are checked out.</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">We are considering:</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">a) Update each affected item’s status to Withdrawn, add second item - affected items will remain on overdue lists.</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">b) “Migrate” to an earlier version of Koha (anonymous is new in Koha 3?)</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">c) “Migrate” our biblios minus affected items to another Koha 3.0.</font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">d) A combination of the above: make Withdrawn, export biblios/items, remove Withdrawn, reload</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" size="2" color="#5F497A"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#5F497A">My geek says that I tend to have a hammer to the fly approach and I sincerely hope/believe there’s a better way to approach this situation. Is there a better way to correct this situation?</font></div>
