Hi Tim & DSpace team
For us to be certain that OAI is working now we are testing it using production and test server, I want to setup a test-server to be able to harverst from production site. I will need to configure test so it can be able to harverst from production dspace site. Please advice, I am also new to dspace harvesting.

So, you only set these configurations if want to do OAI-ORE based Collection Harvesting (in which case you need to setup a DSpace collection to harvest its contents from an external location). In your previous message, you had said you wanted external sites to harvest *FROM* DSpace -- in which case you can ignore the "OAI HARVESTING CONFIGURATIONS". If you want other sites to harvest from your DSpace all you need to do is: (1) Make sure the [dspace]/webapps/oai/ webapplication is visible to your Tomcat. Usually it's available at http://<mydspace-url>/oai/ (2) If you want the OAI web application to be available at a different URL than http://<mydspace-url>/oai/ , you'll need to update the 'dspace.oai.url' in your dspace.cfg After that, restart Tomcat, and you should have your OAI-PMH interface available. You can test it by visiting the URL: http://<mydspace-url>/oai/request?verb=Identify For example, we have a demo OAI-PMH interface available at: http://demo.dspace.org/oai/request?verb=Identify - Tim On 9/9/2010 6:59 AM, Lewatle Phaladi wrote: > Hi > > I have changed some properties in OAI HARVESTING CONFIGURATIONS, following > documentations bellow and when I go to DSpace web interface and click on > control panel, then harvesting and start harvesting the status keeps on > bringing the message which says The scheduler is waiting for collections to > harvest.
