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>,

located at: |

<pre> METACAT_HOME/lib/harvester/harvester.properties</pre>
|
|
139 |
<pre> METACAT_HOME/lib/metacat.properties</pre>
|

141 |
installed in. |

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>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. |

setting appropriate values for the <code><b>harvesterAdministrator</b></code>
|
|
151 |
property, the <code><b>smtpServer</b></code> property, and possibly other
|
|
