    Question    
    How can we delete all patrons except 12, including claims, loans, etc., from our Aleph test system?

     

    Answer    
    Use service 'Delete Patron Records (cir-23)' This service can use an input file with ID numbers.

    Possible solution:
    1. Create an input file with all IDs currently in the system with help of SQL query and spooling it into a text file.
    2. Remove all IDs that should be kept from this text file
    3. Use this file as input for service cir-23, choosing the "Override for all attached transactions" option in the submission.

     

    Tip: run with 'Update Database =N' first.
