     Additionally, Harvester has a number of settable properties that
135 135 
     control its behavior. All Harvester configuration information is managed
136 136 
     in a single file,
137 
     <a href=../../lib/harvester/harvester.properties>harvester.properties</a>,
137 
     <a href=../../lib/metacat.properties>metacat.properties</a>,
138 138 
     located at:
139 
  <pre>      METACAT_HOME/lib/harvester/harvester.properties</pre>
139 
  <pre>      METACAT_HOME/lib/metacat.properties</pre>
140 140 
     where METACAT_HOME is the top-level directory that Metacat is
141 
     installed in.
141 
     installed in.
142 142 
  </p>
143 
  <p>Harvester properties are grouped together in
144 
     <a href=../../lib/metacat.properties>metacat.properties</a>, beginning
145 
     after the comment line:
146 
  <pre><code>      # Harvester properties</code></pre>

  </p>
143 148 
  <p>The Harvester Administrator should edit
144 
     <a href=../../lib/harvester/harvester.properties>harvester.properties</a>,
145 
     setting appropriate values for the Metacat URL, database driver,
146 
     database connection, and other settings. The
147 
     following table is a summary of each property and its function.
149 
     <a href=../../lib/metacat.properties>metacat.properties</a>,
150 
     setting appropriate values for the <code><b>harvesterAdministrator</b></code>
151 
     property, the <code><b>smtpServer</b></code> property, and possibly other
152 
     properties. The following table is a summary of each property and its function.
