Overview and functionality

After installation, the plugin can be found in its own entry in the Administration menu, from where it can be opened.

After opening, all Goobi ruleset files are listed on the left-hand side. These can be opened by clicking on the respective icon in order to edit them.

If you open a file, a text editor appears on the right-hand side in which the file can be edited. If you edit and save a file, a backup is automatically created in the defined backup directory.

According to the value set in the configuration file, a certain number of older backups are retained here before they are replaced by newer ones.

If a file has been changed and an attempt is made to change to another file without saving it, the operator is asked how to proceed with the changes.

Configuration

The plugin is configured via the configuration file plugin_intranda_administration_ruleset_editor.xml and can be adapted during operation. The following is an example configuration file:

<config_plugin>
	
	<!-- By editing a ruleset file in the browser GUI, a backup file will be stored in the backup directory -->
	<rulesetBackupDirectory>/opt/digiverso/goobi/rulesets/backup/</rulesetBackupDirectory>

	<!-- backup files will be stored as ruleset.xml.1, ruleset.xml.2, ..., ruleset.xml.n -->
	<numberOfBackupFiles>10</numberOfBackupFiles>
	
</config_plugin>
