<p>It sounds like you missed this new config file option in the
3.3.0 release notes:</p>
<p><i>+# Prior to 3.2.0, multiple ARKs may have been created without</i><i><br>
</i><i>
+# the user intending to do so. Setting this to true will make</i><i><br>
</i><i>
+# database upgrade 158 attempt to clean up unwanted extra ARKs.</i><i><br>
</i><i>
+# When multiple rows in the ARK table reference the same
resource</i><i><br>
</i><i>
+# or archival object, the first one created will be kept</i><i><br>
</i><i>
+# and the rest discarded.</i><i><br>
</i><i>
+# Use with caution and test thoroughly.</i><i><br>
</i><i>
+AppConfig[:prune_ark_name_table] = false</i></p>
<p>But if you didn't know you had this problem when you were
upgrading, you wouldn't have known that you needed to enable it.
Unfortunately, setting it to true now won't do anything. The code
it would've run is in database migration 158, which cannot be
re-run a second time. It would probably be best to get in touch
with Lyrasis, or your service provider if using a hosted system,
to get help with your specific situation.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have this issue where our PDFs of
resource records sometimes have a lot of previous archival
resource keys showing us as “ID [ark-superseded]” – I included
one page, extracted from a PDF, as an example of the problem.
That collection actually has two pages of these arks (30
previous ones are listed). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m assuming ARKs getting superseded like
this has something to do with the OAI-PMH harvesting that our
metadata colleagues set up for us, but I’m not sure. I don’t
understand what we’re doing wrong to make SO MANY of them show
up in the PDFs, which we use as finding aids for patrons or
donors that are less tech savvy. Is there a way to make it so
long lists of previous ARKs
<b>do not</b> show up in the PDF exports? It would be ideal
to not have all the superseded ARKs listed, since the people
we are printing these things out for don’t need them and won’t
understand what they are.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">FWIW, we’re using version 3.3.2, and I
haven’t tried to see if this is happening in the sandbox
because I’m not actually sure what is causing the ARKs to get
superseded in the first place.<o:p></o:p></p>
