    Question

    How to migrate a new barcode to patron records while maintaining the old one?

    Answer

    1. Put the existing barcodes in Patron SIF Item #03, offset 21.
    2. Put the status for the existing barcodes in Patron SIF Item #05, offset 56.
    3. Put the new barcodes in Patron SIF Item #08, offset 77.
    4. Put the status for the new barcodes in Patron SIF Item #10, offset 112.

    Additional Information

    *If the existing and new barcodes have the same Patron Group, only one can have an Active status.
    *See the Technical User's Guide chapters titled "Patron Update" and "Patron Record Standard Interface File" for more information.

    You can use a similar process to add a new patron group with the same barcode, set that barcode to Active status, and at the same time set the "existing" patron group's barcode to a different status (such as Other or Expired).  Using that process you can change a patron's patron group.  The important thing to remember is that the patron group/barcode "grouping" needs to be unique.  This is true both for SIF and XML updates.
