[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Fwd: seeking clarification on transfer of digital objects between repositories

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hi,


Yeah....sorry, just got to look at this...


There is a bit of conceptual thing here...a DO can be tied to multiple resources/AOs. It is also scoped to a repo. When you transfer the resource, does the DO follow? What if it's tied to another resource in the source repo?


Does that make sense? I might be missing something obvious...


b,chris.

Pursuant to AR-1405<https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1405>, can anyone replicate the issue or otherwise assist in this matter?

In summary, during a resource-to-repository transfer, attached digital object instances are not transferred to new repository.

Thanks, Jason

Having a little trouble understanding what's going on with transferring digital objects between repos.

A repository to repository transfer of archival objects works fine. All linked digital objects are successfully transferred. However, when a resource is transferred, linked digital objects are not transferred.

For testing purposes, I've created a simple hierarchy of archival objects and linked a digital object to a child item. Using both the GUI and API, I've initiated a transfer of the top-level resource to a target repository. It appears that the associated digital objects are not included in the transfer to the target repository and are orphaned at the originating repository.

I am unable to use the API to transfer the orphaned digital objects to the new repository because the association between the archival object and digital object no longer exists.

This is described more completely in the attached gist<https://gist.github.com/minorscience/930fd457f0815b63defd>. I posted something related here<https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1405>. (Not sure if that's the right place.)

Can someone confirm whether there is some design principle I am missing?

Many thanks, Jason
