[Netarchivesuite-devel] RE Disabling Harvest Channels -> Mapping GUI as it isn't finished

[Mikis Seth Sørensen]

Hi Sara

My confusion was caused by the HarvestChannel-edit-harvest-mappings.jsp
looks more or less like a snapshot listing page, where I assumed the
'Action' Edit link was a normal HD edit action. IMO this could be
clarified by renaming the link to 'Change channel mapping, or just making
the HarvestChannel cells clickable so it changes to a selectable
harvestchannel dropdown.

The LOWPRIORITY/HIGHPRIORITY naming and defaultchannels are defined in the
DB. So we have decided to use this as the default migration values used in
the PostgreSQL migration code as I mentioned in in the
'[Netarchivesuite-devel] Including HarvestChannel HIGH/LOW priority
definitions in DB migration'
<http://ml.sbforge.org/pipermail/netarchivesuite-devel/2014-April/001090.ht
ml> posting. We have by the way used quite a lot of time struggling with
bringing the harvestchannel definitions in our different DB and
deploy-configs into sync.


Nicolas has actually disabled the 'snapshotChannelId' setting, properly
thinking it would be better to replace it with the 'channel' setting for
both snapshot and selective harvesters.

Mikis
