Testing harvest + import of individual endpoints

Objective: harvest a specific endpoint and include the harvested result in the ​alpha instance of the VLO for testing purposes.

• Host: rs236235.rs.hosteurope.de
• User account: any account that has the right to do sudo su deploy on this machine

Running the test harvest

• Clone ​https://github.com/clarin-eric/test-oai-harvest in a location with write access on the server (or locally if you prefer)
• Prepare a harvester XML configuration file for the harvesting scenario to test. The repositories contains several configuration files that can be used as an example or template
• Optionally: customise configuration (see the test-oai-harvest project's README for instructions)
• Run the harvest - it's probably a good idea to do this in the background:

cd test-oai-harvest
nohup ./harvest.sh my-config &

This assumes that you have made a configuration file my-config.xml. Output will in this case (assuming default configuration settings) go to test-oai-harvest/output/my-config.

Importing the result into the alpha VLO

After the harvest has completed, you can import the results into the VLO
