OAI must be enabled on the Greenstone repository first.

You can modify file of Greenstone to enable and configure OAI-PMH on file:

$GSDL_HOME/etc/oai.cfg 

You can check all the settings of GSDL repository through URL:

http://(IP or hostname)/greenstone/cgi-bin/oaiserver.cgi

e.g.

http://library.nams.org.np/nams/cgi-bin/oaiserver.cgi

(Note: for detailed information about OAI-PMH on GSDL, see this link)

1. Modify $VUFIND_LOCAL_DIR/harvest/oai.ini as described below.

2. Create and modify $VUFIND_LOCAL_DIR/import/gsdl.properties (by copying $VUFIND_HOME/import/gsdl.properties) if it does not already exist.

3. Create and modify $VUFIND_LOCAL_DIR/import/xsl/gsdl.xsl if you wish to customize the import rules (optional – defaults should be reasonable).

4. php $VUFIND_HOME/harvest/harvest_oai.php

5. $VUFIND_HOME/harvest/batch-import-xsl.sh Greenstone gsdl.properties
