Enhanced the ability of catalogers to specify how
bib and item records should be added, replaced, or
ignored during a staging import.
When an import batch of bib records is staged and commit,
the user can now explicitly specify what should occur
when an incoming bib record has, or does not have, a match
with a record already in the database. The options are:
if match found (overlay_action):
create_new (just add the incoming record)
replace (replace the matched record with the incoming one)
use_template (option not implemented)
ignore (do nothing with the incoming bib; however, the
items attached to it may still be processed
based on the item action)
if no match is found (nomatch_action):
create_new (just add the incoming record)
ignore (do nothing with the incoming bib; in this
case, any items attached to it will be
ignored since there will be nothing to
attach them to)
The following options for handling items embedded in the
bib record are now available:
always_add (add the items to the new or replaced bib)
add_only_if_match (add the items only if the incoming bib
matches an existing bib)
add_only_if_add (add the items only if the incoming bib
does *not* match an existing bib)
ignore (ignore the items entirely)
With these changes, it is now possible to support the following use cases:
[1] A library joining an existing Koha database wishes to add their
items to existing bib records if they match, but does not want
to overlay the bib records themselves.
[2] A library wants to load a file of records, but only handle
the new ones, not ones that are already in the database.
[3] A library wants to load a file of records, but only
handle the ones that match existing records (e.g., if
the records are coming back from an authority control vendor).
Documentation changes:
* See description above; also, screenshots of the 'stage MARC records
for import' and 'manage staged MARC records' should be updated.
Test cases:
* Added test cases to exercise staging and committing import batches.
UI changes:
* The pages for staging and managing import batches now have
controls for setting the overlay action, action if no match,
and item action separately.
* in the manage import batch tool, user is notified when they
change overlay action, no-match action, and item action
* HTML for manage import batch tool now uses fieldsets
Database changes (DB rev 076):
* added import_batches.item_action
* added import_batches.nomatch_action
* added 'ignore' as a valid value for import_batches.overlay_action
* added 'ignored' as a valid value for import_records.status
* added 'status' as a valid value for import_items.status
API changes:
* new accessor routines for C4::ImportBatch
GetImportBatchNoMatchAction
SetImportBatchNoMatchAction
GetImportBatchItemAction
SetImportBatchItemAction
* new internal functions for C4::ImportBatch to
determine how a given bib and item are to be
processed, based on overlay_action, nomatch_action,
and item_action:
_get_commit_action
_get_revert_action

Updated all scripts appearing on the tools page
to respect a granular permission defined for
each of them.
The tools menu and home page have been changed so
that only the specific tools that a user has
access are displayed. This is simple, but depending on
the module and circumstance, it may be better to
display functions that the user has does not have
access to, but disable the links and do some sort
of visual styling to indicate that a function exists
but requires additional privileges to access.

The new tables have the same structure and constraints
as the tables they archive with the following exceptions:
* borrowernumber and biblionumber in old_reserves can be
NULL
* the FK constraints (e.g., for itemnumber) on old_reserves
set the child column to NULL if the parent row is deleted
instead of deleting the child row.
* there is no FK constraint on old_issues.branchcode, allowing
a branch to be deleted without changing archived requests.
Some miscellaneous cleanup was done as part of this patch:
* GetMemberIssuesAndFines (C4::Members) now uses bind variables
* fixed POD for GetMemberIssuesAndFines
