Batch job for deleting holding records
After migrating to Alma we have a lot of holding records that don t have any items associated with them we would like to clean our data by deleting these empty holdings using a batch process
Thank you for your idea.

This is a longstanding problem for us too as we've got entire locations (artefacts from migration) full of bibs with empty holdings.
Alma lets us search on bibs with holdings in a given location, but this is no good as for many of these things the bib has a holding in the location we want to delete but also a holding in a location we want to keep.
Alma also lets us search on items in a given location, but this is no good where the holding has no items.
So the thing we really need, which is what Alma won't let us do, is to a) search on holdings directly, and b) run a batch job on those search results.
