Alma SIS Integration - Legacy Data Converter

Scripts that will convert from a variety of text formats to Alma XML, then zip and make the files available to Alma.

Usage

For each institution, this script will look in a fixed location for patron files (and any accompanying barcode files), parse the user information using the specified mappings, and create an XML document using the provided template file.

Make the Magic Happen

For the full experience:

ruby run.rb any_institution_code_here

To just generate files and not upload or send notifications:

ruby run.rb any_institution_code_here dry-run

To randomly pick 5 patron records from the parsed file and skip archiving of original files, use:

ruby run.rb any_institution_code_here sample
