A micro-service may consist of a number of discrete tasks, or jobs. In the Archivematica 0.10 dashboard, micro-services are always shown, while jobs may be viewed by expanding the micro-service (i.e. by clicking on the grey background behind the micro-service name).

The table below shows micro-services and jobs in Archivematica 0.10. Note that this is is only a list of micro-services; detailed user instructions are available in the user manual.

Transfer[edit]

Micro-service Description
Approve Transfer

Set file permissions

This is the approval step that moves the transfer into the Archivematica processing pipeline.
Verify transfer compliance


Set file permissions
Move to processing directory
Set transfer type
Remove hidden files and directories
Attempt restructure for compliance
Verify transfer compliance

Moves the transfer to a processing directory based on selected transfer type (standard, zipped bag, unzipped bag, DSPace export or maildir). Verifies that the transfer conforms to the folder structure required for processing in Archivematica and restructures if required. The structure is as follows: /logs/, /metadata/, /metadata/submissionDocumentation/, /objects/.
Rename with transfer UUID


Rename with transfer UUID

Directly associates the transfer with its metadata by appending the transfer UUID to the transfer directory name.
Include default Transfer processingMCP.xml


Include default Transfer processingMCP.xml

Adds a file named processingMCP.xml to the root of the transfer. This is a configurable xml file to pre-configure processing decisions. It can configure workflow options such as creating transfer backups, quarantining the transfer and selecting a SIP creation option.
Assign file UUIDs and checksums


Assign file UUIDs to objects
Assign checksums and file sizes to objects

Assigns a unique universal identifier and sha-256 checksum to each file in the /objects/ directory.
Verify transfer checksums


Verify metadata directory checksums

Checks any checksum files that were placed in the /metadata/ folder of the transfer prior to moving the transfer into Archivematica.
Generate METS.xml document


Generate METS.xml document

Generates a basic METS file with a fileSec and structMap to record the presence of all objects in the /objects/ directory and their locations in any subdirectories. Designed to capture the original order of the transfer in the event the user chooses subsequently to delete, rename or move files or break the transfer into multiple SIPs. A copy of the METS file is automatically added to any SIP generated from the transfer.
Extract packages


Extract packages
Extract attachments

Extracts objects from any zipped files or other packages. Extracts attachments from maildir transfers.
Scan for viruses


Scan for viruses

Uses ClamAV to scan for viruses and other malware. If a virus is found, the transfer is automatically placed in /sharedDirectoryStructure/failed/ and all processing on the transfer is stopped.
Quarantine


Workflow decision - send transfer to quarantine
Move to quarantine
Remove from quarantine

Quarantine's the transfer for a set duration, to allow virus definitions to update, before virus scan.
Clean up names


Sanitize object's file and directory names
Sanitize Transfer name

Some file systems do not support unicode or other special characters in filenames. This micro-service removes prohibited characters and replaces them with dashes. Original filenames are preserved in the PREMIS metadata.
Characterize and extract metadata


Characterize and extract metadata
Identify Files ByExtension
Load labels from metadata/file_labels.csv

Identifies and validates formats and extracts object metadata using the File Information Tool Set (FITS). Also identifies file extensions, which are used for selecting normalization paths.
Complete transfer


Index transfer contents
Set file permissions
Move to completedTransfers directory

Indexes transfer contents, then marks the transfer as complete.
Create SIP from Transfer


Check transfer directory for objects
Create SIP(s)
Create SIP from transfer objects
Send transfer to backlog

This is the approval step that moves the transfer to the SIP packaging micro-services (Ingest).


Ingest[edit]

Micro-service Description
Verify SIP compliance


Set file permissions
Move to processing directory
Verify SIP compliance

Verifies that the SIP conforms to the folder structure required for processing in Archivematica. The structure is as follows: /logs/, /metadata/, /metadata/submissionDocumentation/, /objects/.
Rename SIP directory with SIP UUID


Rename SIP directory with SIP UUID

Directly associates the SIP with its metadata by appending the SIP UUID to the SIP directory name.
Include default SIP processingMCP.xml


Include default SIP processingMCP.xml

Copies the processing config file added to the transfer in Include default Transfer processingMCP.xml, above, to the SIP.
Remove cache files


Remove cache files

Removes any Thumbs.db files.
Normalize


Identify manually normalized files
Check for Service directory
Check for Access directory
Find options to normalize as
Create DIP directory
Normalize
Normalize access
Normalize preservation
Remove files without linking information (failed normalization artifacts etc.)
Create thumbnails directory
Normalize thumbnails
Verify checksums generated on ingest
Approve normalization
Check for manual normalized files
Move access files to DIP
Assign UUIDs to manually normalized preservation files
Assign checksums to manually normalized preservation files
Run FITS on manually normalized preservation files
Relate manually normalized preservation files to the original files

Determines which normalization options are available for the SIP and presents them to the user as choices. Normalizes (i.e. generates preservation and/or access copies) based on selection. Thumbnail files are also generated during this micro-service.
Process submission documentation


Check for submission documentation
Copy transfer submission documentation
Move to processing directory
Set file permissions
Assign file UUIDs to submission documentation
Assign checksums and file sizes to submissionDocumentation
Extract packages in submission documentation
Sanitize file and directory names in submission documentation
Scan for viruses in submission documentation
Characterize and extract metadata on submission documentation
Identify Files ByExtension
Normalize submission documentation to preservation format

Processes any submission documentation included in the SIP and adds it to the /objects/ directory.
Prepare DIP


Copy thumbnails to DIP directory
Copy METS to DIP directory
Set file permissions
Generate DIP

Creates a DIP containing access copies of the objects, thumbnails and a copy of the METS file.
Upload DIP


Upload DIP

Allows the user to choose to upload the DIP to either ICA-AtoM or CONTENTdm.
Upload DIP to ICA-AtoM


Upload DIP
Move to the uploadedDIPs directory

The user uploads the DIP to a selected description in ICA-AtoM.
Upload DIP to CONTENTdm


Restructure DIP for CONTENTdm upload
Select upload type (Project Client or direct upload)
Select target CONTENTdm server
Get list of collections on server
Select destination collection
Upload DIP to contentDM
Move to the uploadedDIPs directory

The user uploads the DIP to a selected description in CONTENTdm.
Prepare AIP


Copy transfers metadata and logs
Remove files without linking information (failed normalization artifacts etc.)
Verify checksums generated on ingest
Generate METS.xml document
Index AIP contents
Prepare AIP
Select compression algorithm
Select compression level
Compress AIP
Set bag file permissions
Removed bagged files

Creates an AIP in Bagit format. Indexes the AIP, then losslessly compresses it.
Store AIP


Move to the store AIP approval directory
Store AIP
Store AIP location
Store the AIP

Moves the AIP to /sharedDirectoryStructure/www/AIPsStore/ or another specified directory. Once the AIP has been stored, a copy of it is extracted from storage to a local temp directory, where it is subjected to standard BagIt checks: verifyvalid, checkpayloadoxum, verifycomplete, verifypayloadmanifests, verifytagmanifests.
