[Koha] Importing Marc records from Koha 2.2.9 into 3.14.05

[Elizabeth Wilcox]

Thanks so much for the responses. I'm now working through converting the information using Marceditor (proving to be a long, slow process as there are many discrepancies). Looks like there have been huge changes in the fields so, as half the data had been reentered manually before I commenced in the role, looks like I may need to go back to that.

There is documentation on how to export and import records from versions prior to 3.2.  Usually the data is dumped via mysqldump to a file, then a 3.2 conversion is run on it, and then it is imported into 3.14.

I am running Koha 3.0 and I have tried unsucessfully to export data from 3.0, convert it to 3.2 and then import it into Koha 3.14 but it might be because of some issue only with my database.  I'm seeking a 12 step program to help with this issue (smile).

I will search for the documentation and forward it to you (the whole process).

The resulting file has a .mrc extension so I am presuming it is a Marc file, there is also data there. However, when I try to import it into version 3.14.05 it isn't being recognised.
