Archivematica 1.7.2 is a legacy release, and these documents are no longer being maintained.

Using AtoM 2.x with Archivematica

Archivematica 1.7 has been tested with and is recommended for use with the latest version of AtoM. AtoM version 2.2 or higher is required for use with the hierarchical DIP functionality; see Arrange a SIP from backlog.

Installation instructions for AtoM 2 are available on the accesstomemory.org documentation. When following those instructions, it is best to download AtoM from the git repository (rather than use one of the supplied tarballs).

Configure DIP upload

Once you have a working AtoM installation, you can configure DIP upload between Archivematica and AtoM. The basic steps are:

  • Update AtoM DIP upload configuration in the Archivematica dashboard
  • Confirm atom-worker is configured on the AtoM server (copy the atom- worker.conf file from AtoM source to /etc/init/)
  • Enable the Sword Plugin in the AtoM plugins page
  • Enable job scheduling in the AtoM settings page (AtoM version 2.1 or lower only)
  • Confirm gearman is installed on the AtoM server
  • Configure ssh keys to allow rsync to work for the archivematica user, from the Archivematica server to the AtoM server
  • Start gearman on the AtoM server
  • Start the AtoM worker on the AtoM server
