Re: Loading patron records from Banner

[Doug Kariel <dougk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Joseph,

At Athabasca University, our Banner people wrote a program which
extracts the relavent information from Banner and puts it into a file on
another machine.  I then get the file through the normal ftp patron
loading process.  I told them what information I wanted and how it needs
to be formatted for the file that INNOPAC reads.

I'd have to find out from them whether they would be willing to share
the code for creating the file.  If you want me to investigate, I'd be
happy to do so.

Cheers,

Doug
