[Koha] retrieving checkout data

[Rachel Hollis]

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.

You can try to extract the data from backups.  It will be a great pain though, to merge it with whatever transaction data you have left since the last backup point.

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:

I'd really like to notify our patrons with overdues and get the library's materials back. Any ideas or help will be most appreciated.

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.
