[EP-tech] OAI2 deleted vs destroyed records



Hi Alan,

Items that have never been live should not appear in any sets. Even if 
they do appear in a set, the individual item request should return 
idDoesNotExist if they have never been live.

I was not sure whether Primo periodically proactively checks individual 
items it has imported to see if their metadata / status has changed.? 
 From what Iain says, this sounds like it is not the case.

Regards

David Newman
