Hi,
I'm not sure how well the migration toolbox works out of the box, but
there's one thing worth noting anyway: The vanilla Koha doesn't support
MFHD's, which have a pretty important role in Voyager. While in many
cases the relevant information can be stored in the bibliographic or
item records, we found it necessary to implement support for holdings
records in Koha. It, and the previous attempts, haven't really gained
traction, but I'm still trying. :) In any case we're currently in the
process of converting some Voyager databases to Koha with this custom
holdings support.
There's a Holdings RFC at
<https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/MARC_Holdings_Records_RFC> and
patches at
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20447>. I'll
try to see if there any chance at discussing this at the KohaCon 2018
hackfest, but I'd also appreciate any input you as another Voyager
library might have.
Regards,
Ere

Hi All,
Greetings! ☺ I’ve successfully installed Koha in a test virtual box and hoping
to explore more of what it can do and check/match/improve our current workflows.
I’d like to test Koha with our actual data we have from Voyager 9.0, and
wondering if anyone can point me on a direction of how to migrate our data?
I’ve done a search and found, https://github.com/jcamins/koha-migration-toolbox
but I am not sure if this would work on the latest Koha version as it seems
that last commits was at least 4 years ago.
Also, if we are to use the koha-migration-toolbox, from its scripts, it will
extract CSV’s of all data, but I can’t seem to find in Koha on how to import
those CSV’s? Any step-by-step guide for migrating data would be very helpful?
Many thanks in advance guys… ☺
Best regards,
Ellis
