Upgrade instructions
New settings
settings.common.webinterface.harvestStatus.defaultPageSize: The default number of jobs to show in the harvest status section on one result page. The default number is 100.
settings.common.batch.batchjobs.batchjob.class: The list of batchjobs to be runnable from the GUI. Must be the complete path to the batchjob classes (e.g. dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepository.bitpreservation.ChecksumJob). Must inherit FileBatchJob. The default is the following:
<batchjobs> <batchjob> <class>dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepository.bitpreservation.ChecksumJob</class> <jarfile></jarfile> </batchjob> <batchjob> <class>dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepository.bitpreservation.FileListJob</class> <jarfile></jarfile> </batchjob> </batchjobs>
settings.common.batch.batchjobs.batchjob.arcfile: The list of the corresponding jar-files containing the batchjob. This will be used for LoadableJarBatchJobs.
- If no file is specified, it is assumed, that the batchjob exists with
the default classpath of the involved applications (BitarchiveMonitor, ArcRepository, GUIWebServer and BitArchive).
settings.common.batch.baseDir: The directory where the resulting files will be placed when running a batchjob through the GUI interface. The default is the relative dir "batch"
settings.harvester.harvesting.heritrix.monitorResetInterval: The time interval in seconds after which the HarvestMonitorServer will reset the job state data. This is a simple way to detect the end of a job. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
settings.harvester.harvesting.heritrix.crawlLoopWaitTime: Time interval in seconds to wait during a crawl loop in the harvest controller. The default is 20 seconds.
settings.harvester.harvesting.heritrix.abortIfConnectionLost: A boolean flag. If set to true, the harvest controller will abort the current crawl when the JMX connection is lost. If set to false it will only log a warning, leaving the crawl operator shutting down harvester manually. Used only by the BnfHeritrixController. The default is true.
settings.harvester.harvesting.heritrix.waitForReportGenerationTimeout: Maximum time in seconds to wait for Heritrix to generate report files once crawling is over. The default is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
settings.harvester.harvesting.heritrixLauncherClass: The implementation of the HeritrixLauncher abstract class to be used. The default is dk.netarkivet.harvester.harvesting.controller.DefaultHeritrixLauncher.
