What is the difference between Pausing, Stopping and Aborting a harvest?
When you Pause a harvest the harvest agent stops downloading material from the web, then waits for you to restart it. When you restart the harvest, it will continue where it left off. (Note that when a harvest is paused, its bandwidth is not available for other harvesters to use.) When you Stop a harvest, you are telling the WCT that you want the crawl to end, and you want to keep the harvest results and logs. The WCT will finish the Harvest and makes the data ready for you to review. You can then either reject or endorse the result as usual. When you Abort a harvest, you are telling the WCT that you want it to stop the harvest and throw away the result. The WCT will finish the harvest and then delete the harvest result and log files. (Aborting a harvest is effectively the same as stopping a harvest and then rejecting it.
