[VuFind-Tech] Automated importing

[mikan.d.dspace l. <mik...@gm...>]

 We're planning to import large amount of data from different sources to
VuFind. Some items have ID's, which may overlap and they might need
additional prefix to be added in order to fall in SOLR nicely. What would be
the preferred way of doing this kind of conversion? Does importer scripts
have means/tools for this, or should I write a script of my own to do this?

Since the other data sources are still active, I need to run these batch
imports nightly to keep VuFind up to date. Any experience on how to arrange
this kind of automation; any considerations / problems / good practices I
should take advice on?

Thanks for the tips,
Mika Stenberg
