To keep the catalog more up-to-date, provide a web service for launching a data harvest for a specified service registered at HIS central.

Proposed parameters: user name, password, service URL output: URL of the harvest log file Limitation: To reduce system overhead, only allow calling the harvest web service for services that have less than 1,000 sites

Expected usage: On the Hydroserver, authorized users will have a button quotUpdate HIS Central Catalogquot. When the hydroserver users upload new data to the server using a data collection device, they can click the button. This will call the data harvest service and in a few minutes, HIS Central will be up-to-date.
