In order to allow for ease of setting up storage locations it is desirable for DPR to cater for multiple file system paths (i.e. repository locations) where it can put files rather than just the single path.
Note that this feature request is being created for changes that are already present in order to provide tracking for this change.
This feature has been added on the java6testing branch. Assigned to Kirti to add any further comments.
The addition of this feature involves database changes. These are the addition of a repository_location table and of columns to reference this table in the archival_information_package table (to show where each AIP is stored) and in the transfer_job table (to show where the manifest file is stored). The administrator will need to edit the repository_location table to handle changes in storage locations (e.g. to set a location to not be active or to change the priority of locations used). This change will move the database schema to version 2.4.
Note that this change has been made in conjunction with changes for rfe-3613027 and thus actual code changes for these two rfes are intermingled.
Tested on java6 testing branch. See attached test summary report for test cases run and the results.
