note for the attention of all irm, circa category administrators and interest groups leaders

Subject: Beginning of the migration from Circa to CircaBC.

The new version of CIRCABC is available at

With this new version comes the migration tool. The migration consists oftransferring all data and information contained in a CIRCA interest group into a new one in CircaBC. On the future the CIRCA system will be totally replaced by CircaBC.

A specific tool has been developed to migrate the interest groups from CIRCA to CircaBC. The operations will be totally transparent to you. The CircaBC team will assume the technical process, but nothing will be done without your agreement. The tool runs automatically and will extract all information needed to reproduce the same architecture in CircaBC.

Interest groups will be migrated one by one (not the entire category) or insmall sets respecting integrity constraints, in order to avoid complete unavailability of data for a long period.The order in which we will migrate the groups depends on their complexity and/or specific requests that we received from its leader(s).The migrations will take place overnight.

Please note that during the migration, your interest group will be in read-only mode in CIRCA, thus we want to get it done as fast as possible. In order to assist in the required preparatory work you will be asked to provide us with information and support, like e.g.:

  • Let us know your preferred interval to perform the migration
  • Delete obsolete/duplicate interest group members and library documents
  • Validate the result of the migration

You will receive the complete procedure with more details via e-mail.

Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
