Technical project configuration data

The configuration settings are explained below:

List of project configuration parameters used to generate METS files

Name	Typical value	Explanation
DMS export images folder	/opt/digiverso/viewer/hotfolder/	This stipulates the folder to which the images are written when exporting.
DMS export success folder	/opt/digiverso/viewer/success/	This stipulates the folder in which Goobi is instructed to search for a success message indicating that the exported XML file has been correctly processed. A check against this value is only made if the parameter exportWithoutTimeLimit has been set to false in the configuration file goobi_config.properties. At this point, Goobi can communicate with downstream systems in order to establish, for example, whether an item has been successfully exported.
DMS export error folder	/opt/digiverso/viewer/error_mets/	This stipulates the folder in which Goobi is instructed to search for an error message indicating that an error has occurred in processing the exported XML file. A check against this value is only made if the parameter exportWithoutTimeLimit has been set to false in the configuration file goobi_config.properties.
Create process folder	no	If this checkbox has been activated, Goobi will create a folder with the corresponding process name in each of the folders specified as the DMS export folder for XML file and DMS export folder for images. The exported files will then be placed in these folders. If the checkbox is not activated, the files will be placed directly into the stipulated folders. By default, this checkbox is not activated.
Timeout (ms)	36000	This setting defines the time interval in milliseconds before Goobi removes the exported files from the hotfolder. A check is only made if the parameter exportWithoutTimeLimit has been set to false in the configuration file goobi_config.properties. The default value is 300000 (i.e. 5 minutes).
