Hi Mark,
holds information is stored differently in every ILS and at the moment
there exists no generic tool to import holds into Koha. For a migration
you could try to map the data you get out of Mandarin to the columns in
Koha's reserves table and then use a script or SQL to fill it. It can be
useful to place a few different holds in Koha first to see what data is
required/set by Koha itself.
Hope this helps,
Katrin

Our little (24K items) library has successfully moved from Mandarin to
Koha as of Tuesday. I was able to import the catalog, patrons, and
checkouts (issues) from Mandarin by writing scripts to convert
Mandarin-generated data to Koha-compatible data.
The one missing thing is holds (reserves). I'm still looking for a
way to generate a holds report in Mandarin, but assuming I can
generate such a report, I don't see a way to import hold information
into Koha. I was able to use KOC files to import issues, but the KOC
file format doesn't support holds. I was wondering if there is some
other way to import holds programmatically, or if anyone else has had
to deal with this problem when migrating to Koha.
