|-
 
|Approve transfer
 
|Once the transfer has all its digital objects and has been formatted for processing, the user selects "Transfer complete" from the Actions drop-down menu.
 
|-
 
|Verify transfer compliance
 
|Verifies that the transfer conforms to the folder structure required for processing in Archivematica. The structure is as follows: ''/logs/'', ''/metadata/'', ''/metadata/submissionDocumentation/'', ''/objects/''.
 
|-
 
|Rename with transfer UUID
 
|Adds a unique universal identifier to the transfer folder name.
 
|-
 
|Include default Transfer processingMCP.xml
 
|Adds ''defaultTransferProcessing.xml'' file from ''/sharedDirectoryStructure/sharedMicroServiceTasksConfigs/'' to the transfer directory. This xml file can configure workflow options such as creating transfer backups, quarantining the transfer and selecting a SIP creation option.
 
|-
 
|Workflow decision - create transfer backup
 
|The user can choose to create a complete backup of the transfer in case transfer or ingest are interrupted or fail. The transfer backup is placed in ''/sharedDirectoryStructure/transferBackups/'' and will automatically be deleted once the AIP has been moved into storage.
 
|-
 
|Assign file UUIDs to objects
 
|Assigns a unique universal identifier to each file in the ''/objects/'' directory.
 
|-
 
|Assign checksums and file sizes to objects
 
|Assigns a sha-256 checksum to each file in the ''/objects/'' directory and calculates file sizes.
 
|-
 
|Verify metadata directory checksums
 
|Checks any checksum files that were placed in the /metadata/ folder of the SIP prior to ingest. Note that the filenames need to be named based on their algorithm: ''checksum.sha1'', ''checksum.sha256'', ''checksum.md5''.
 
|-
 
|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 location 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. The mets file is automatically added to any SIP generated from the transfer.
 
|-
 
|Extract packages
 
|Extracts objects from any zipped files or other packages.
 
|-
 
|Scan for viruses
 
|Uses [http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/ ClamAV], parses the output and creates a PREMIS event. If a virus is found, the SIP is automatically placed in ''/sharedDirectoryStructure/failed/''.
 
|-
 
|Sanitize object's file and directory names
 
|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.
 
|-
 
|Sanitize transfer name
 
|Same as above except does it for the transfer folder name.
 
|-
 
|Characterize and extract metadata
 
|Identifies and validates formats and extracts object metadata using the [http://code.google.com/p/fits/ File Information Tool Set (FITS)]. Adds output to the PREMIS metadata.
 
|-
 
|Create SIP(s)
 
|The user chooses among a number of SIP creation options. See the [[UM ingest|user manual]] for details.

|Remove thumbs.db files
 
|Removes any [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_thumbnail_cache Thumbs.db] files. May be expanded to others in future releases.
 
|-
 
|Sanitize object's file and directory names
 
|If user created new folder and/or file names during SIP creation, any prhobited characters are removed from these names and replaced with dashes.
 
|-
 
|Sanitize SIP name
 
|Same as above except that it's done for the SIP folder name.

|For digitization output workflows, checks to see if the SIP contains any service copies of master files. See the [[UM digitization output|user manual]] for details.
 
|-
 
|Check for Access directory
 
|For digitization output workflows, checks to see if the SIP contains any access copies of master files. See the [[UM digitization output|user manual]] for details.
 
|-

|-
 
|Store AIP
 
|Moves the AIP to a specified directory. In the demo version of Archivematica the directory is ''/sharedDirectoryStructure/www/AIPsStore/''. In other environments it can be a remote network mounted directory. The directory structure of the AIP store contains UUID quad directories and an ''index.html'' file listing the AIPs in storage. The ''index.html'' file is displayed in the dashboard in the '''Archival storage''' tab. </br>
 
Once the AIP has been stored, a copy of the AIP is extracted from storage to a local temp directory, and is validated with the various BagIt checks: verifyvalid, checkpayloadoxum, verifycomplete, verifypayloadmanifests, verifytagmanifests.

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/.
Include default SIP processingMCP.xml


Include default SIP processingMCP.xml

Includes a file named processingMCP.xml in 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.
Remove cache files


Remove cache files

Removes any Thumbs.db files
Normalize


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

Determins which normalization options are available for the SIP and presents them to the user as choices. Normalizes based on selection.
  • Creates access copies to be added to the DIP.
  • Creates preservation copies to be included in the AIP along with the original files.
  • Creates thumbnail files.

If desired, the user can verify the quality of normalized files in /sharedDirectoryStructure/watchedDirectories/approveNormalization/.

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

Prepare DIP


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

Create the DIP with copies of the METS file, and thumbnails. Moves the DIP to the upload DIP watched directory.
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

Create an AIP in Bagit format. Index the AIP, then losslessly compress it.
Store AIP


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

Moves the AIP to a specified directory. In the demo version of Archivematica the directory is /sharedDirectoryStructure/www/AIPsStore/. In other environments it can be a remote network mounted directory. The directory structure of the AIP store contains UUID quad directories and an index.html file listing the AIPs in storage. The index.html file is displayed in the dashboard in the Archival storage tab.

Once the AIP has been stored, a copy of the AIP is extracted from storage to a local temp directory, and is validated with the various BagIt checks: verifyvalid, checkpayloadoxum, verifycomplete, verifypayloadmanifests, verifytagmanifests.

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

It is now possible to upload to ContentDM.
Upload DIP to ICA-Atom


Upload DIP
Move to the uploadedDIPs directory

The user uploads the DIP to a selected description in the access system. See the user manual for details.
