[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Import Item Attributes?

[Boggs, John]

I'm continuing my attempt to load a small sample using the Marc Import functionality in the client. I can now get the bib records loaded just fine, but copy records don't show up. I do have an import definition set up for my 945 fields, but I get no copy records (holdings? Not sure of the usual Evergreen lingo - we call them items in Millennium).

I came across a note on the listserv from Galen stating that Org Unit, Copy Status, and Copy Location are looked up by name, not ID. Would having data that the system can't understand in these fields (id field in my case) cause the copies to not load? Should I rewrite my migration scripts to put names in there instead of id values?

Also, I just now came across the vandelay.import_item table, with 18,000 entries in it that have our item barcodes, so my guess is one part of the copy import is happening but that it's stalling out somewhere. Or is there a next step I need to take, beyond "Import all," that I'm missing?

Any pointers greatly appreciated!
