Just to be clear -- the OAI HARVESTING CONFIGURATIONS in dspace.cfg
are only used if you want DSpace to harvest an external OAI-PHM or
OAI-ORE interface. So, you only set these configurations if want to do
OAI-ORE based Collection Harvesting (in which case you need to setup a

After that, restart Tomcat, and you should have your OAI-PMH interface
available. You can test it by visiting the URL:
