The WSDL of the document entry module contemplates different ways or forms of transferring documents (what we call PIT, transfer information package) to the iARXIU platform. However, from the AOC Consortium we recommend that you use the following:

  • Input, in offline or asynchronous mode, of a PIT with references to binary files previously sent with a direct upload service. This operation allows the upload of large files without having to embed them in a web service call.

To make a deposit using this method, the steps are as follows:

  1. Obtain a ticket for uploading files and the PIT (mets.xml) by calling the GetUploadTicket operation
  2. Upload the files and the PIT (mets.xml) using the upload servlet , which allows sending files using the HTTP standard. You can upload all the files and the PIT in a ZIP file, which iARXIU will decompress later, or individually.
  3. Once all the files have been uploaded to the file server, a call must be made to the OfflineUploadIngest operation to proceed with the ingest.
  4. Since the ingest is done using offline or asynchronous mode, to check the ingest status you must use the GetOfflineIngestStatus operation.
