How to add multiple clients

Install

Install a Archivematica onto a client machine, as you normally would.

Supported Modules

Comment out the upload and storeAIP tasks, from the supported tasks on the client machine, by prepending the line with a '#'.

sudo mousepad /etc/archivematica/MCPClient/archivematicaClientModules

#upload-qubit_v0.0="upload-qubit "
#storeAIP_v0.0="%clientScriptsDirectory%storeAIP.sh "
...

Change the IP/Hostname

Change the IP/Hostname the client machine is connecting to.

sudo mousepad /etc/archivematica/MCPClient/clientConfig.conf

MCPArchivematicaServer="server.local"
MCPArchivematicaServerPort="8002"

In the same file, /etc/archivematica/MCPClient/clientConfig.conf, you can set the max number of threads this client will run.

maxThreads="2"

Client Organization Setting

You will need to configure the organization settings, for the premis metadata, on each client.

sudo mousepad /usr/lib/archivematica/MCPClient/clientScripts/createXmlEventsAssist.py

 yourAgentIdentifierType="repository code"
 yourAgentIdentifierValue="ORG"
 yourAgentName="Your Organization Name Here"
 yourAgentType="organization"

The strings in the file populate these fields:

 <agent>
 <agentIdentifier>
 <agentIdentifierType>repository code</agentIdentifierType>
 <agentIdentifierValue>ORG</agentIdentifierValue>
 </agentIdentifier>
 <agentName>Your Organization Name Here</agentName>
 <agentType>organization</agentType>
 </agent>

Reboot

sudo reboot now

The client should connect on startup.

Note: to see the dashboard, or ica-atom, you'll need to visit the server's ip address, not localhost.
