[Netarchivesuite-users] Few questions about netarchivesuite

[Tomas Ukkonen]

Hi

Thanks for your reply. 
However, I think you misunderstood my question 
so maybe I was somewhat unclear what I meant.

Yes. I can remove domains from Selective Harvests but I would like 
to remove domains _completely_. So that it isn't listed - for an example - 
on Domain Statistics page anymore. 

For an example, I have added an domain (+ its seeds) to the system that 
I would like to remove from the system for good. If I try to make 
domain's seed list empty get an error message saying: 
"Parameter seedList must not be empty." 

I would like to remove domain (and its seeds) so that 
it isn't included to Snapshot Harvests anymore. 

Is this currently possible?

Hmm.. 

I'm thinking I'm trying to use the system in a way that it 
wasn't meant for. I would like to have abstract 'URL lists' 
domains which I could then remove or add to Selective Harvests. 

You seem to suggest that I should make Selective Harvests 
around certain theme which I then could rerun. This is OK  
but may force you to change all harvest definitions when 
links change unless you create abstract TLD domains which 
seed lists you can edit. 

Btw. Is there anyway to remove "Selective Harvests" or 
"Snapshot Harvests" ? 

I can deactive them but with more heavy use the web 
interface will probably quickly become filled with 
de-actived old harvests.
