Process creation through file upload

This is a Goobi workflow plugin for the upload of multiple files to allow an automatic process creation based on the the uploaded files. Files with similar names are used to create basic Goobi process

Overview

Introduction

This workflow plugin allows a mass upload of files on the basis of which Goobi processes are automatically generated. The process template to be used as well as the publication type to be created can be defined via a configuration. Files that belong together are automatically assigned after the process has been created.

Installation

To install the plugin, the following two files must be installed:

/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/workflow/plugin-intranda-workflow-fileUploadProcessCreation-base.jar
/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/GUI/plugin-intranda-workflow-fileUploadProcessCreation-gui.jar

To configure how the plugin should behave, various values can be adjusted in the configuration file. The configuration file is usually located here:

/opt/digiverso/goobi/config/plugin_intranda_workflow_fileUploadProcessCreation.xml

Overview and functionality

To use this plugin, the user must have the correct role authorisation.

Therefore, please assign the role Plugin_Goobi_Massupload to the group.

If the plugin has been installed and configured correctly, it can be found within the menu item Workflow.

Files can now be uploaded at this point. After analysing the file names, Goobi automatically creates the corresponding processes.

Configuration

The content of the configuration file looks like this:

<config_plugin>

    <!-- which file types shall be allowed for uploading these -->
    <allowed-file-extensions>/(\.|\/)(gif|jpe?g|png|tiff?|jp2|pdf)$/</allowed-file-extensions>

    <processTemplateName>ImportWorkflow</processTemplateName>

    <!-- which publication type shall be used inside of the created METS files -->
