Clean up transfer dashboard
- Creighton Barrett
Introduction
Archivematica administrators should clean up the dashboard in the Transfer tab.
Administrators can only remove transfers that do not require user input. The transfer must be complete (i.e., send to backlog or create a SIP) or rejected before it can be removed from the dashboard.
This page provides instructions on how to clean up the dashboard.
Remove a single transfer
Log into Archivematica and navigate to the Transfer tab.
Check the microservices and jobs and ensure the transfer does not require user input.
Click on the red circle icon to the right of the transfer name.
Click the “Confirm” button to remove the transfer from the dashboard.
Note: Deleting a transfer from the dashboard does not delete the transfer or its related entities, including the source directory in the transfer source location. It just removes the transfer from the dashboard.
Unhide transfers that have been deleted
Deleted transfers can be restored to the dashboard using MySQL queries, for example:
mysql> select * from SIPs where currentPath like "%PATH%";
mysql> update SIPs set hidden=0 where sipUUID="insert UUID"; Avoid doing this unless there is an urgent need to unhide the transfer.
The transfer UUID is located in the OBJID tag in the first line of the METS.xml file.
