Update schedule
The update schedule is still a draft.
The pilot libraries are expected to test for 15-19 weeks (excluding the summer holidays). For other libraries we have preliminarily allocated 5 weeks for version upgrade: 3 weeks conversion and testing, 1 week for testing Finna view and moving to production, 1 week for transferring the test server resources to the next library. More accurate schedule estimate as a table.

Functionalities potentially requiring development in the Community version
| ID (do not change even if you move items) | priority | priority requirements notes (column might be removed later but to help us to sort) | Functionality | Libraries that use it | Status | Notes | Priority discussion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | 2.1 | have to be present at the beginning of the use | LABEL PRINTER Tools => Label printer (labels to be put in backs of books) (/cgi-bin/koha/labels/oplib-label-create.pl) | 3AMK-libraries Centria | Use is being researched Just occassionally | Info on use in libraries urgent, related to a database structure change. Testing of current options: Label printing in Koha | Aim at a plugin solution |

On community version there is missing system preference: ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelay system preference allow holds to expire automatically if they have not been picked by within the time period specified in ReservesMaxPickUpDelay. | We'll not work on it now, first test the Community Version functionalities. | |
| #3 | 3.2 | COMPLEX PASSWORDS / POLICIES CHECK Requiring complex password based on patron category code (usually, higher requirements for staff members) Administration → Patron categories / Password policy for category (/cgi-bin/koha/admin/categories.pl => Muokkaa => Tyypin salasanakäytäntö) | Xamk: generally simplenumeric > self-service library PIN is 4 numbers ; and staff > alphanumeric), National Library | Not started | Info on use in libraries urgent, related to a database structure change. In Community Version, requirements may only be made globally. | Not urgent – libraries will direct staff and other users. | |
| #4 | 3.2 | HOLDS WAITING DEPENDING ON RULES Time that holds will wait for being checked out may be set different according to the patron group, library, or item type. (In Community Version only on sys pref level) | There is a very old bug report and fix-suggestion for this in Bugzilla https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8367 How long is a hold waiting for pickup at a more granular level | Is there need to be able to define different time according to the patron group, library, or item type? | Not needed? | ||
| #5 | 1.3 | DEFINING DIFFERENT FEES ACCORDING TO THE RULES Holds not checked out in time: defining different fees according to the patron category, branch (library), or item type (In Community Version on sys pref level only?) (Making holds may be free but you need to pay a "fine" if you don't come and claim the hold before it expires.) | 3AMK-libraries National Library (fines differ according to the patron category and by item type) XAMK | Bug report made to Bugzilla https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25711 | Koskenee myös asiakasryhmäkohtaiset asetukset? - MinnaK: Mitä tällä tarkoitetaan. Asiakastyyppien määrityksissä on hold fee, jolla tarkoitetaan varausmaksua joka peritään varauksesta joka tapauksessa. Tässä toiminnossa tarkoitetaan maksua, joka peritään, jos asiakas ei nouda varaustaan ajoissa. and this discussion in english There is a hold fee -setting in patron categories, but it is a different thing. Patron category hold fee is charged when making a hold or when hold is picked up depending on system preference HoldFeeMode. In this case we are discussing about fee that is charged if a patron does not pick up hold in time. | ||

(Read the bug report for thorough explanation) | Tritonia (Critical) National Library (critical) Diak (Critical) Jyväskylän yliopisto (Critical) Hanken (Critical) 3AMK (We allow on shelf holds, but this is critical if unholdable item type prevents making holds for other item types of the same biblio) | Bug detected in Community Version | https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24683 | Fix already in testing | |
| #8 | 1 | "HOLDS TO PULL" LIST PART1: | HAMK 3AMK | "Edition" output implemented. In testing | Edition can be add to biblioitems -table by modifying Koha to MARC mapping settings. After change, biblioitems -table must be rebuild in order to apply change to older records! | Fix already in testing | |
| #9 | 1 | ANONYMIZED HOLD IDENTIFIERS On Koha-Suomi there is a systempreference AnonymizeOtherNames use for generating an anonymized code to Patron record Other names -field. The anonymized code is in the format xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (e.g. 1561-9855-2076) and is based on UNIX timestamp.

Migration pipeline
| Task | Status |
|---|---|
| Creating DB schema transformation definitions | Done |
| Creating script to run before the Koha DB upgrade script, based on the definitions above | Done mostly, except for those waiting library feedback. Successful test conversion done with HAMK |
| Script to do post-db-upgrade transformations in DB | Not started (might not be required) |
Notices from testing migration
| Date | Description | Note | Reported by | Testing environment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 26th | all tables show different timestamp (-3 hours) on migration database than on current database (f.ex. action_logs.action_id 1586094 has timestamp 2020-05-12 03:00:17 on current database and 2020-05-12 00:00:17 on migrated database | System time on HAMK testing server is set on wrong time zone. | Minna Kivinen | HAMK |
| May 27th | On current version there is action_logs_cache table containing all actions, such table does not exist in version 19.11. Action_logs -table contains only actions for 6 months. This might have affects on our current way to calculate last years statistics using action logs. Is it Koha-Suomi version feature that 6 months older action_logs events are moved to action_logs_cache? Should action_logs_cache table to be migrated to action_logs -table? If so, does it have some affects to performance? | Minna Kivinen | HAMK | |
