OAI-PMH service - suppressed records
As a default suppressed records are not included in the harvest stream. This becomes an issue when a harvested record later becomes suppressed in Sierra as the harvester does not know to remove it from its listings as its omission from the stream does not allow for identification of its suppressed state. I would recommend that the option to include suppressed records should be configurable as a harvest stream level, giving the library the ability to configure the inclusion/exclusion dependent on their business rules.

The product team will review this idea for consideration for a future release.

Absolutely needing this. We are unable to remove our holdings from the national system due to their being suppressed in Sierra.
We'll need to band aid the process by keeping deletions unsuppressed until after the harvest, which means double handling and inefficiencies.
Please fix this!! -

100% percent in support of this enhancement request.
While it might seem logical to not send suppressed records via OAI-PMH, there needs to be a way for records that become suppressed to be fed through.
We will have to come up with a workaround until this is fixed
