==Location of test files==

*Test files are located in home/demo/ingest/.

==Generating checksums==

*Select the files for which you would like to generate the checksums. Please note that as of the current version of Archivematica you cannot select folders, only files.
*Right click, then select Scripts > makeMD5.
*Save the report in the same folder.
*Copy all the files, including the MD5 report, to another folder (eg. archivalstorage)
*Right-click the report, then select Scripts > checkMD5
*The report should tell you that all files are OK. If you didn't move over all the files or if there was a problem which changed one or more of the files, the report will tell you that the checksum for those files failed.

==Using DROID==

*DROID provides a gui interface for selecting objects for processing. Navigate to home/demo/ingest/ and select the entire folder, or open the folder to select individual files.
*DROID allows you to select an "include subfolders" option.
*When the files are processed, go to File > Save List to save an xml report of the results.

==Using NLNZ Metadata Extraction Tool==

*Creating a simple object will result in one xml report for each object; creating a complex object will create a single report for all objects.
*When you create a new object in NLNZ, you will be asked to select the directory: enter /home/demo/ingest/.
*The xml reports are set to output to usr/local/OAIS/metadata-extractor/harvested/nlnz_dd/.

==Using JHOVE==

*To include calculation of checksums in the validation process, go to Edit > Preferences and click Calculate checksums.
*To process a directory of records, click File > Open URL and enter the directory: /home/demo/ingest/.
*To save an xml report, in the RepInfo window click on File > Save as; under Choose output handler select xml; then create a file name with the .xml extension added (otherwise JHOVE will save the report as plain text).

==Using Qubit==

*[http://qubit-toolkit.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Qubit] is an open-source software toolkit that allows institutions such as archives, libraries, museums, and art galleries to manage and host web-based collections of information resources.
**It is currently being implemented in the archival community as ICA-AtoM (International Council on Archives Access to Memory).
***Please refer to the [http://www.ica-atom.org/docs/index.php?title=User_manual ICA-AtoM user manual] for instructions on how to use a typical Qubit application.
*Qubit is being evaluated for use in the archivematica ''Data Management'' and ''Access'' components.
*Please note that the VM version of Qubit is a development version, not a stable release.
*Log in to Qubit using the user name ''demo@example.com'' and the password ''demo''.

==Using Xena==

*Click Add Directory to normalize a body of records.
*Select home/demo/ingest. Note that Xena will normalize the contents of the folder and any subfolders.
*The default directory for Xena output is home/demo/xena-output/.
*The Xena log will save automatically as home/demo/xena-output/xena-log.
*To view a normalized file, double-click on a file in the normalization results screen. For office documents, you will then need to select the option to view in OpenOffice.org.
**If OpenOffice.org appears not to be working or takes a long time to open, go to Tools > Plugin Preferences >, and for "Sleep time allowed for OpenOffice to start (seconds)" select 3.

==Using Bagit==

*Select a group of files or a folder.
*Right-click, then select Scripts > Bagit.
*Edit the name of the bag if desired.
*The bag will automatically be saved to home/demo/mybags/.
