DPR_Server_Configuration

Earlier versions of the Digital Preservation Recorder used a local mount point on the client to access the file system (repository). In order to prevent users from having access to the repository, DPR Server has been added to handle all interactions with the file system. This option also allows setting up multiple repository locations.

DPR Server Configuration

Files needed for the DPR server are
dprclient.jar
dprserver.conf
dprserver.log.conf
server.sh for the Linux operating systems or server.bat for the Windows environment.

All the above files are located in the same directory as the dprclient.jar.

The following procedure describes how to start the DPR server:

1. Copy the above mentioned files to a directory on the machine that will act as the server.
2. The configuration file, dprserver.conf is used to configure the DPR server. Depending on your set up, you may need to modify the settings in the configuration file.
3. From the command line, go to the location of server.sh shell script for Linux operating systems or server.bat batch file for windows operating systems.
4. Run the script to start the server. The user profile that is used to run the server should have read/write access to the Repository locations. The DPR server runs on port 30444.

DR Database Configuration

If using DPR Server for transfer of files,the repository location will need to be entered into the DR database, 'repository_locations' table.Multiple repository locations can be added in the repository_locations.
Database table :
'repository_locations'
