Hi Bill, I solved this issue (although I was testing with a different repository and handle prefix) by adding this configuration option to [dspace]/config/modules/oai.cfg: harvester.rejectedHandlePrefix = 1853 Also note that harvester.rejectedHandlePrefix = 123456789, myTestHandle, 1853 didn't work for me, there must be some problem with splitting individual values. Setting this option doesn't try to assign the same handle, but creates a new handle instead.
