Honestly though, I would ask that people think further about the frequency of harvests. Is every 2-3 seconds really necessary? Do we really need it to be able to perform that quickly?
Well, the use case envisioned by Stockholm UL would in practice ideally involve fetching ONE record every 10 minutes or so! The cataloger will be creating/modifying a bib record and a mfhd record in our union catalog. Next, the cataloger will turn to our local catalog, Koha, expecting to find this record already imported. If there is a way for the harvester to decide which ONE record to get...maybe even with some intervention by the cataloger...? So when this ONE record is asked for, we want it to be a quick process getting it from the source and into Koha.
What's Stockholm UL? So you're saying that the union catalogue will only have updates about once every 10 minutes? Or that the cataloguer will only be accessing a record in the union catalogue and Koha once every 10 minutes? I am including a mechanism for fetching "one" record, so long as the user knows the OAI-PMH identifier they're after. They'll be able to add a task for that. Perhaps a future development could be done to provide an interface in the cataloguing module for adding/updating a single record. In place of that interface, they'll be able to add a task in the same area as the other tasks in order to get the one record...
Then nightly more massive harvests could be performed to catch up with other modifications to the union catalog.
Those nightly harvests would certainly be possible with the current design.
From my point of view it seems a little contrived to use a OAI harvester for this kind of job - synching Koha with union catalog just to be able to instantly work locally on a record. But it is what has been recommended to us by the union catalog from which we are importing records.
What do you mean by "work locally on a record"? The union catalog will be the source of truth, so any modifications to a record in Koha would be overwritten by a change in the union catalogue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
