There are two ways in which the harvester may be used to import records into a database. The first method, which uses the jOAI web application, requires two parts. First, configure the jOAI harvester to save files to a convenient directory at regular intervals, such as once a day. Then, write a routine to monitor the file directory and add, update or delete the corresponding records to the database when changes occur in the files. Another method is to use the Harvester API from within native Java code to perform harvests and import metadata records directly into a database.
