  <h4>Introduction</h4>
34
The Metacat Harvester (henceforth referred to as "Harvester") is a
35
program that automates the retrieval of EML documents from one or more sites
36
and their subsequent upload (insert or update) to Metacat. Harvester uses pull
37
technology to retrieve and upload documents to Metacat on a regularly
38
scheduled basis.
39
<P>
40
Although Harvester is included with a Metacat installation (beginning with
41
Metacat version 1.4.0), it is an extention to Metacat's functionality
42
that may be used optionally.
43
</P>

  <h4>Definitions</h4>
45
The following table defines a number of terms that are useful in discussing
46
Harvester and its features.

  <h4>Managing Harvester</h4>
121
  Harvester is managed by the Harvester Administrator. Typically, the same
122
  individual who manages a Metacat server would also act as the Harvester
123
  Administrator. The responsibilities of the Harvester Administrator include:
124
    <ul>
125
      <li><a href="#Configuring Harvester">Configuring Harvester</a></li>
126
      <li><a href="#Running Harvester">Running Harvester</a></li>
127
      <li><a href="#Reviewing Harvester">Reviewing Harvester reports to 
128
      the Harvester Administrator</a></li>
129
    </ul>
130
  <h5><a name="Configuring Harvester">Configuring Harvester</a></h5>
131
  <p>Harvester must be configured to interact with a working Metacat
132
     installation. Thus, a Metacat installation that has been properly
133
     configured and installed is a pre-requisite to running Harvester.
134
     Additionally, Harvester has a number of settable properties that
135
     control its behavior. All Harvester configuration information is managed 
136
     in a single file, 
137
     <a href=../../lib/metacat.properties>metacat.properties</a>, 
138
     located at:
139
  <pre>      METACAT_HOME/lib/metacat.properties</pre>
140
     where METACAT_HOME is the top-level directory that Metacat is 
141
     installed in. 
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>
147
  </p>
148
  <p>The Harvester Administrator should edit 
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.

165
          can be useful for testing whether Harvester is able to retrieve

273
  <P>
274
  After every harvest, Harvester will send an email report to the Harvester
275
  Administrator detailing the operations that were performed during the
276
  harvest. The report will contain information about each of the Harvest Sites
277
  that were harvested from, such as which EML documents were
278
  harvested and whether any errors were encountered.
279
  </P>
280
  <p>
281
  The harvest report will contain a list of log entries, where each log entry
282
  describes an operation that was performed by Harvester. Log entries that
283
  show a status value of 1 indicate that an error occurred during the
284
  operation, while those that show a status value of 0 indicate that the
285
  operation was completed successfully.
286
  </p>
287
  <P>The Harvester Administrator should review the report, paying particularly 
288
  close attention to any errors that are reported and to the accompanying error
289
  messages that are displayed. When errors are reported at
290
  a particular site, the Harvester Administrator should contact the Site
291
  Contact to determine the source of the error and its resolution. See 
292
  <a href=#Reviewing>Reviewing Harvester Reports to the Site Contact</a> for a
293
  description of common sources of errors at a Harvest Site.
294
  </P>
295
  <p>Errors that are independent of a particular site may indicate a problem 
296
  with Harvester itself, Metacat, or the database connection. Refer to the
297
  error message to determine the source of the error and its resolution.

  <h4>Managing a Harvest Site</h4>
300
  A Harvest Site is managed by a Site Contact.
301
  The responsibilities of a Site Contact fall into the following categories:
302
    <ul>
303
      <li><a href=#Registering>Registering with Harvester</a></li>
304
      <li><a href=#Composing>Composing a Harvest List</a></li>

306
      <li><a href=#Reviewing>Reviewing Harvester reports to the Site Contact</a></li>
307
    </ul>
308
    <h5><a name="Registering">Registering with Harvester</a></h5>
309
  <p>
310
  A Site Contact registers a site with Harvester by logging in to the
311
  Harvester Registration page and entering several items of information
312
  that Harvester needs to know about the site.
313
  </p>
314
  <ol>
315
    <li>Logging in to the Harvester Registration Page
316
  <p>
317
  The Harvester Registration page is accessed from Metacat. For example, if
318
  the Metacat server that you wish to register with resides at the following 
319
  URL:
320
  <pre>  http://somehost.somelocation.edu:8080/knb/index.jsp</pre>
321
  then the Harvester Registration page would be accessed at:
322
  <pre>  http://somehost.somelocation.edu:8080/knb/style/skins/knb/harvesterRegistrationLogin.html</pre>
323
  </p>
324
  <p>
325
  After bringing up this page in your browser, login to your Metacat account 
326
  by entering your username, organization, and password. For example:

  In some cases, a Site Contact may need to login to an anonymous account
381

382
  Manager may need to login to a dedicated account, named with a three-letter 
383
  acronym, that has been set up for the LTER site. The username
384
  "GCE" would be used by the LTER Information Mangager at the GCE (Georgia 
385
  Coastal Ecosystems) site.

  <h5><a name="Composing">Composing a Harvest List</a></h5>
477
  <p>
478
  A Harvest List is an XML file that holds a list of EML documents to be
479
  harvested. For each EML document in the list, the following information
480
  must be specified:
481
  <ul>
482
    <li><code>docid</code>, which consists of the:
483
      <ul>
484
        <li><code>scope</code>, e.g. "demoDocument". The scope is an identifier 
485
            that indicates which group of documents this document belongs to.
486
        </li>
487
        <li><code>identifier</code>, e.g. "1". The identifier is a number that 
488
            uniquely identifies this document within the scope.
489
        </li>
490
        <li><code>revision</code>, e.g. "5". The revision is a number that 
491
            indicates the current revision of this document.
492
        </li>
493
      </ul>
494
    </li>
495
    <li><code>documentType</code>, e.g. "eml://ecoinformatics.org/eml-2.0.0".
496
        The documentType identifies the document as an EML document.</li>
497
    <li><code>documentURL</code>, e.g. "http://www.lternet.edu/~dcosta/document1.xml".
498
        The documentURL specifies a place where Harvester can locate 
499
        and retrieve the document via HTTP.</li>
500
  </ul>
501
  </p>
502
  <p>
503
  The contents of a Harvest List XML file must conform to a particular
504
  XML Schema, as defined in file <a href="../../lib/harvester/harvestList.xsd">
505
  harvestList.xsd</a>. The contents of a valid Harvest List 
506
  can best be illustrated by example. The sample Harvest List
507
  below contains two &lt;<code>document</code>&gt; elements that specify the 
508
  information that Harvester needs to retrieve a pair of EML documents and 
509
  upload them to Metacat:
510
  <pre>
511
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt;
512
&lt;hrv:harvestList xmlns:hrv="eml://ecoinformatics.org/harvestList" &gt;
513
    &lt;document&gt;
514
        &lt;docid&gt;
515
            &lt;scope&gt;demoDocument&lt;/scope&gt;
516
            &lt;identifier&gt;1&lt;/identifier&gt;
517
            &lt;revision&gt;5&lt;/revision&gt;
518
        &lt;/docid&gt;
519
        &lt;documentType&gt;eml://ecoinformatics.org/eml-2.0.0&lt;/documentType&gt;
520
        &lt;documentURL&gt;http://www.lternet.edu/~dcosta/document1.xml&lt;/documentURL&gt;
521
    &lt;/document&gt;
522
    &lt;document&gt;
523
        &lt;docid&gt;
524
            &lt;scope&gt;demoDocument&lt;/scope&gt;
525
            &lt;identifier&gt;2&lt;/identifier&gt;
526
            &lt;revision&gt;1&lt;/revision&gt;
527
        &lt;/docid&gt;
528
        &lt;documentType&gt;eml://ecoinformatics.org/eml-2.0.0&lt;/documentType&gt;
529
        &lt;documentURL&gt;http://www.lternet.edu/~dcosta/document2.xml&lt;/documentURL&gt;
530
    &lt;/document&gt;
531
&lt;/hrv:harvestList&gt;
532
  </pre>
533
  <p>
534
  After editing the Harvest List, ensure that the Harvest List XML file resides
535
  at the appropriate location on disk as specified by the URL that was entered
536
  during the <a href=#Registering>registration</a> process.
537
  </p>
538
  <p>
539
  The <a href=./harvestListEditor.html>Harvest List Editor</a> is a tool that 
540
  assists in composing and editing a Harvest List. (Click 
541
  <a href=./harvestListEditor.html>here</a> for additional details.)
542
  </p>
543
    <h5><a name="Preparing">Preparing EML Documents for harvest</a></h5>
544
  <p>
545
  To prepare a set of EML documents for harvest, ensure that the following is 
546
  true for each document:
547
  <ul>
548
    <li>The document contains valid EML</li>
549
    <li>The document is specified in a &lt;document&gt; element in the 
550
        site's Harvest List, as described above</li>
551
    <li>The file resides at the appropriate location on disk as specified
552
        by its URL in the Harvest List</li>
553
  </ul>
554
  </p>
555
    <h5><a name="Reviewing" >Reviewing Harvester Reports to the Site Contact</a></h5>
556
  <P>
557
  After every scheduled harvest that takes place at a particular Harvest
558
  Site, Harvester will send an email report to the Site Contact detailing the 
559
  operations that were performed during the harvest.
560
  The report will contain information about the operations that were
561
  performed by Harvester at that site, such as 
562
  which EML documents were harvested and whether any errors were encountered.
563
  </P>
564
  <P>
565
  The Site Contact should review the report, paying particularly 
566
  close attention to any errors that are reported. Errors are indicated
567
  by operations that display a status value of 1, while operations that
568
  display a status value of 0 indicate that the operation completed
569
  successfully.
570
  </P>
571
  <p>
572
  When errors are reported,
573
  the Site Contact should try to determine whether the source of the error
574
  is something that can be corrected at the site. Common causes of errors 
575
  might be:
576
  <ul>
577
    <li>A document URL specified in the Harvest List does not match
578
        the location of the actual EML file on the disk</li>
579
    <li>The Harvest List does not contain valid XML as specified in
580
        the <a href=../../lib/harvester/harvestList.xsd>harvestList.xsd</a> schema</li>
581
    <li>The URL to the Harvest List that was specified during
582
        registration with Harvester does not match the actual location of
583
        the Harvest List on the disk</li>
584
    <li>An EML document that Harvester attempted to upload to Metacat does
585
        not contain valid EML</li>
586
  </ul>
587
  </P> 
588
  <p>
589
  If the Site Contact is unable to determine the cause of the error and its
590
  resolution, he or she should contact the Harvester Administrator for assistance.
