Thanks Joe and Owen, I’d hoped that there would be some way to retrieve checkout data but it seems not. In addition to being a dummy and making checkouts (even the current ones) anonymous, we’ve not been very good about backing up our data either. Fortunately we haven’t migrated all our data and processes over yet; it could have been a much greater predicament.

It will be a great pain though, to merge it with whatever transaction data you have left since the last backup point. --Joe On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 1:07 PM, Rachel Hollis <Rachel.Hollis@stevenshenager.edu<mailto:Rachel.Hollis@stevenshenager.edu>> wrote: The wrong way is to anonymize check-out history older than <today>. Like a dummy, I did that and now patron data tied to titles does not display. I'm not sure that it is a bug, I can see benefit in making checkout history anonymous after items are returned. I'd anonymize check-out history again but use a date a year or two in the past. The step I took and screen shots are at the following link: http://home.earthlink.net/~rhollis/Koha/anonymize.pdf<http://home.earthlink.net/%7Erhollis/Koha/anonymize.pdf> I'd really like to notify our patrons with overdues and get the library's materials back.

Everything I know, I learned the hard way. Recently I learned the wrong way to anonymize check-out history.

Is the "wrong way" to use Koha 3's new anonymize checkout history tool? If that's the case, a bug report needs to be filed at the very least. Let us know the details of how it happened so it can be tested. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org ________________________________ This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.
