Hi Peter,<br>
There are significant differences in data base structure between
Koha 2.x and Koha 3.x. If you are attempting to upgrade you should
probably go to Koha 3.0, then upgrade again to 3.4. There are
upgrade instructions in the documentation for 3.0 at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://koha-community.org/download-koha/">http://koha-community.org/download-koha/</a> .<br>
<br>
The alternative is to export your data from Koha 2.2.5 and use it to
populate a fresh install of Koha 3.4. The main issue will be
organising the 952 tag of the marc records. You can see what is
required at Administration/Koha to Marc Mapping (Items). When
you've imported your bibs, you have to start the Zebra indexing
engine (which is perhaps why you are seeing nothing at present).<br>
<br>
You can also obtain the data for members, current loans and reading
history from your existing data base and import those. Many may
disagree with me, but that is my preferred route.<o:p> </o:p>Its
arguable which is quicker, but imho the result will be cleaner. <br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
