Fixity checking and reporting

Main Page > Documentation > Requirements > Fixity checking and reporting

This wiki page describes requirements for gathering fixity check information from the | Fixity app and reporting through the Archivematica Storage Service.

Requirements

• Modify Storage Service to record time and results of fixity checks by adding columns to packages tab

• Add script to send email alerts to administrator(s) when a fixity check fails

Mockups

Storage Service packages tab

Two columns are added to the Storage Service packages tab:

• Fixity Date, showing the date and time that the fixity check was run
• Fixity Result, showing the outcome (Succeeded or Failed) with links to tool output in cases of failures or errors (successful fixity scan reports are empty)

Fixity Results: Failed

Failures should be reported as such if they are actual fixity failures, or if there were errors in the tool.
