AD1 Receive SIP

File:Archivematica AD1 ReceiveSIP v1.pdf

Workflow diagram step	Description	UML diagram references
Producer places SIP in shared folder on host machine	The purpose of shared folders is to allow the Producer to drop SIPs into a folder on their host machine or network and have the SIPs automatically appear in a folder in Archivematica, and vice versa. For instructions on setting up shared folders, please go to Virtual appliance instructions. Neither the folder name nor any of the filenames should include spaces or special characters. Underscores are ok. Make the shared folder in Archivematica /home/demoreceiveSIP/. For testing purposes you can avoid setting up shared folders and simply use the test files found in /home/demo/testFiles/.
SIP appears in shared folder in Archivematica	SIP will appear in /home/demo/receiveSIP/. If using files from /home/demo/testFiles/, copy a folder from /testFiles/ into /home/demo/receiveSIP/.
Archivist copies SIP from shared folder to SIP backup folder	Copy the SIP in /home/demo/receiveSIP/ and paste it into /home/demo/receiveSIPbackup/. If anything goes wrong during the ingest process, this backup copy can be retrieved and processed.

AD2 Audit SIP

File:Archivematica AD2 AuditSIP v5.pdf

Workflow diagram step	Description	UML diagram references
Archivist moves SIP from shared folder into quarantine	Drag the SIP from /home/demo/receiveSIP/ to /home/demo/quarantine.
SIP is quarantined for 2 minutes	In a production system, SIPs would normally be quarantined for a set period of time (for example, four weeks), to allow anti-virus software to be updated with the latest virus profiles. A lock should appear on the SIP folder in quarantine. The archivist will not be able to read or modify the files during this time.
SIP is scanned for malware	At the end of the quarantine period, ClamAV will automatically scan the files for viruses and other malware.
Infected files are sent to possiblevirii folder	Infected files will appear in /home/demo/possiblevirii/. If this occurs, do not take any further steps in the ingest process. Inform the Producer that infected files have been found. It is recommended at this point to delete all SIP copies and request that the Producer take steps to review the causes of the problem and eventually resubmit a malware-free SIP.

AD3 Accept SIP for Ingest

File:Archivematica AD3 AcceptSIPforIngest v4.pdf

Workflow diagram step	Description	UML diagram references
SIP contents are identified and validated using FITS	FITS (File Information Tool Set) is automatically launched once the quarantine period has ended and the files have been scanned for viruses. FITS incorporates format identification and validation tools such as DROID. JHOVE and the New Zealand Metadata Extractor, comparing the results of each tool and extracting a set of identification, validation and technical metadata. For more information on the FITS tool, see http://code.google.com/p/fits/
Identification/validation reports are sent to accessions folder	The FITS report will appear in /home/demo/accessionreports/. The report appears as a folder with a 10-digit number; inside the folder is a report for each file in the SIP. Note that each report contains an MD5 checksum for the file.
Virus-checker report is sent to accessions folder	A report on ClamAV's virus scan will appear automatically: home/demo/accessionreports/virus.log.
Accession log is sent to accessions folder	A report on the accession process will appear automatically: home/demo/accessionreports/accession.log. For each file in the SIP, the accession log will state "Accession of /tmp/accession-[FITS folder number]/[SIP number]/filename] completed successfully."

AD4 Generate AIP

File:Archivematica AD4 GenerateAIP v2.pdf

Workflow diagram step	Description	UML diagram references
SIP is moved to AIP preparation folder	At the end of the quarantine process, Archivematica automatically drops the SIP into /home/demo/prepareAIP
Archivist normalizes files	From Archivematica's Linux desktop, open Xena Click Add Directory Select /home/demo/prepareAIP/[SIP]/ In Tools > Xena 4.2.1 Preferences > Xena destination directory enter /home/demo/prepareAIP/[SIP]. In Tools > Xena 4.2.1 Preferences > Xena log file enter /home/demo/accessionreports/xena_log. Click OK to close Xena 4.2.1 Preferences Click Normalise Wait for normalization process to be completed (a pop-up dialogue box will open indicating that the process has been completed). Click OK to close pop-up window Close Xena
Normalized files are saved to AIP preparation folder	In the SIP, look for files with the extension .xena. These are normalized versions of the original files.
Normalization log is saved to accessions folder	A log file showing all the actions taken by Xena will appear: /home/demo/accessionreports/xena_log.0.
Archivist moves PDI in accessions folder to SIP in AIP preparation folder	In Archivematica, all the contents relating to the SIP in /home/demo/accessionreports/ is considered PDI (Preservation Description Information). Copy these contents to /home/demo/prepareAIP/[SIP]
Archivist moves SIP to AIP generation folder	Drag the SIP from /home/demo/prepareAIP/ and drop it into /home/demo/generateAIP/.
SIP content and PDI are zipped into AIP	A script called BagIt will run in the background, converting the SIP into a single zipped file. In Archivematica, this zipped file, which also includes metadata generated by the bagging process, constitutes the AIP. For more information about BagIT, see http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/library/challenge/data-transfer.html.
AIP is moved to AIP receipt folder	The bagging process automatically moves the AIP to /home/demo/receiveAIP/. To view the AIP, double-click it. When it opens in a separate window, double-click it again; this will allow you to view (but not modify or delete) the contents of the zipped bag.

AD5 Transfer AIP to Archival Storage

File:Archivematica AD5 TransferAIPtoArchivalStorage v2.pdf

Workflow step	Description	UML diagram references
Archivist moves AIP to archival storage folder	Drag the AIP from /home/demo/receiveAIP/ and drop it into /home/demo/storeAIP/.
AIP is copied to shared folder on host machine.	This assumes that /home/demo/storeAIP has been set up as a shared folder. The purpose of shared folders is to allow the Producer to drop SIPs into a folder on their host machine or network and have the SIPs automatically appear in a folder in Archivematica, and vice versa. For instructions on setting up shared folders, please go to Virtual appliance instructions. Neither the folder name nor any of the filenames should include spaces or special characters. Underscores are ok. For testing purposes you can choose not to set up the shared folder, since it doesn't affect any activity in Archivematica.
Archivist deletes SIP from SIP backup folder	Delete the SIP from /home/demo/receiveSIPbackup/.
