Dear Koha Folks: Our Library is preparing for the upgrade from 1.2.3 to 2.0. I have 2.0-pre installed on a separate machine, with koha 2.0-pre up and running - no data. Our 1.2.3 machine is still operative, but the Z3950 tool has stopped working. Our data is safe, and I have made a backup of it using the mysql tool. My hope is to transfer the data from the 1.2.3 machine to the new koha 2.0 machine. However, I understand that the two formats are not the same, 2.0 using the MARC record format. So far, I have the following understanding/misunderstanding of the upgrade process--- 1) There is currently no "dedicated" tool for data upgrade from 1.2.3 to 2.0. 2) The Z3950 tool in 2.0-pre is not yet operative, although some folks may have had some luck "tweaking" it. 3) John Voth has offered a program that will download MARC records from the LOC, if the ISBN number is given. 4) MARC records can be imported into Koha 2.0-pre using bulkmarcimport.pl, but this should not be used unless the books are actually available in the library. Bulkmarcimport.pl does not import into the breeding farm. 5) If I have a commercial CD full of MARC records, bulkmarcimport.pl will not work for the reason in #4. 6) If I had a way of converting the old data to MARC format, I could import into 2.0 by using bulkmarkimport.pl I am sure there is much I am missing here. Any clarification would be most helpful, as I have the task of putting our Koha in good shape for the school librarian to use. So far, I have not yet figured out a clear way to proceed... Thanks Much! Robert Maynord
