Can some one who has already done similar migrations please give your advice/help me with step by step process. With thanks Satish Librarian Govt. Engineering College Hassan Karnataka

I've never really worked with Koha on Windows. But in the last few years I've migrated quite a few 2.2.x series installs to 3.x series (3.10, 3,14, 3.16 respectively). This should start you off - http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Upgrading_2.2 Remember to move the holdings data (items) away from the biblioitems records using remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl it is usually not too much of trouble, unless the 2.2.x database is in bad shape (I hope one of that took me over 2 weeks to get the data import ready) Being handy with SQL helps a great deal. Also keep a sharp lookout for the errors that get thrown up by the migration / maintenance scripts. Some are benign, while some will require you to address them before moving forward with migration. And at all times keep a copy of the original db snapshot safely backup in case you take a misstep and have to redo things. All the best. let us know how it goes. cheers -idg -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
