Configurations

Server ConfigFile

Workflow Configurations

Please see MCP_Configuration

MCP Server Section

File Names

These shouldn't be changed.

File Names

checksumsNoExtention="checksum"

Gearman Server

MCPArchivematicaServer = localhost:4730 GearmanServerWorker = localhost:4730

Note: to set the gearman process to listen on more interfaces than localhost, set it in '/etc/default/gearman-job-server'. I think you can set this to 1.1.1.1 for all interfaces.

Other

watchDirectoryPath: Directory containing the directories watched by the MCP.

watchDirectoryPath="/var/archivematica/sharedDirectory/watchedDirectories/"

sharedDirectory: directory shared on the network with MCP clients. Containing the processing directory.

sharedDirectory="/var/archivematica/sharedDirectory/"

processingDirectory: Directory SIPs reside in while they are actively being processed.

processingDirectory="${sharedDirectory}.currentlyProcessing/"

AIPsStore: Directory to store the AIPs when finished processing. This can be a mounted directory on an external storage device.

AIPsStore="${sharedDirectory}AIPsStore/"

The database access settings for the shared database:

/etc/archivematica/archivematicaCommon/dbsettings

[client]
user=demo
password="demo"
host=localhost

Client

Supported Modules

/etc/archivematica/archivematicaClient/clientConfig.conf
Supported modules
/etc/archivematica/MCPClient/archivematicaClientModules
It's highly recommended only the MCP server host machine client support the upload and store tasks.
Change the in theLoadSupportedCommandsSpecial in clientConfig.conf on other machines

LoadSupportedCommandsSpecial = False

Client ConfigFile

/etc/archivematica/MCPClient/clientConfig.conf Server to connect to. Specify hostname/IP and port.

MCPArchivematicaServer = localhost:4730

Where the shared directory on the MCP Server is mounted:

sharedDirectoryMounted="/var/archivematica/sharedDirectory/"

The maximum number of thread the MCP is allowed to run on this host.
maxThreads is no longer used. The client will detect the number of cores on the

maxThreads="2"

machine, and use that number of threads.
The location of the client modules. These specify which modules this host supports.

archivematicaClientModules="/etc/archivematica/MCPClient/archivematicaClientModules"

The location of the client scripts.

clientScriptsDirectory="/usr/lib/archivematica/MCPClient/clientScripts/"
