I'm trying to upgrade from 2.2.7 to 3.0, and the biblio and biblioitem numbers change. I also need to clean up my database because the first install didn't go too well. Jim Weinheimer American University of Rome
Hello all, i will actually be upgrading koha 2.2.9 to 3.0 soon and i've often wondered about the best way. Assuming you do a fresh install of 3.0 and then export out patron records and the bibs in marc format, how about the circulation and acquisition data and other template customizations? by the way it's a marc21 installation. Will the migrate scripts below work? Olugbenga Adara MCP Consultant, 3OM Services, sw8/824, College Crescent, Ibadan, Nigeria.
