The removal check did not remove the theses

If the system started the removal check and the check did not find many theses on the repository's list, no thesis is unpublished. The run's problems say "Many theses were missing from the source archive's list. As that is beyond the safety limit, no thesis was unpublished.", and an alert goes to the system administrators. The limit applies when the number of theses missing from the repository's list is greater than both 25 and 5 per cent of the harvested theses. Why it exists is explained in Full Harvest and Sync.

1. Press the check's Details button in the Recent harvests table.
2. In the Records by set table, find the sets with fewer records than expected or none at all.
3. Ask the repository's administrator whether these sets changed.

Depending on the answer, follow one of the ways below.

The repository had a passing problem

If the repository was under maintenance or left part of its records off its list for a while, you need to do nothing. The next scheduled check reads the repository's whole list again.

The repository's sets changed

If collections were merged, moved or renamed in the repository, the theses are now in other sets.

1. Press Check the source.
2. In Sets, choose the new sets and untick the ones that no longer exist.
3. Press Save.
4. Start a full harvest.

The full harvest sees the theses in the new sets, and the next check does not remove them.

The theses really were removed from the repository

If the repository's administrator confirms the theses were removed, press Check for removed theses and confirm. A check started by hand does not apply the safety limit and unpublishes every thesis missing from the repository's list.
