non-ECS OAI-PMH Harvesting Priorities for Poppy


Priority order of tested harvests:


  1. Three consecutive full harvests with marc21_withholdings prefix for SRS only
  2. Three consecutive full harvests with marc21_withholdings prefix for SRS and Inventory 
  3. Three consecutive full harvests with marc21_withholdings prefix for Inventory only
  4. Two concurrent full harvests with marc21_withholdings prefix for SRS only  repeated at least 3 times
  5. Two concurrent full harvests with marc21_withholdings prefix for SRS and inventory repeated at least 3 times 
  6. Two concurrent full harvests with marc21_withholdings prefix for Inventory only  repeated at least 3 times
  7. One full harvests, one incremental harvest with marc21_withholdings prefix for SRS only  repeated at least 3 times
  8. One full harvests, one incremental harvest with marc21_withholdings prefix for SRS and inventory repeated at least 3 times 
  9. One full harvests, one incremental harvest with marc21_withholdings prefix for Inventory only  repeated at least 3 times


The number of harvested records for each harvests with the same data source should be always be the same.  

When running the same type of tests, the time required to complete the harvest should be similar.  For example, if we run full harvest consecutively, the harvesting time should be the same for each run.  If we run three times two full harvests concurrently, the harvesting time should be the same for each run.
