Add S3 as a manual archive destination

Updated on December 13th, 2022

Curator can present "SendTo" options to users of the Web Applications.  The options appear in the Send To Destination plug-in:

Open the SendToDestination configuration file 
 

Browse to the "%INSTALL_PATH%\IPV\Curator\Server\Config" folder and navigate to the appropriate user group and web application folder.

For example, Administrators for Clip Link can be configured in the following file:

"%INSTALL_PATH%\IPV\Curator\Server\Config\w[System Administrators]-u[]-win[]-m[]\WebApplications\CuratorClipLink\Plugins\SendToDestination.config"

Open the file in a text editor.


 
Find the <Destinations> section 
 

<Destinations>

<!-- User -->

<Destination name="Deliver file to third party" locationPath="THIRDPARTY-FILE-DELIVERY" />

<Destination name="Retrieve the Hi-Res file" locationPath="DELIVER-HI-RES" />

<Destination name="Retrieve the proxy" locationPath="DELIVER-PROXY" /

</Destinations>


 
Add the S3 Destination 
 

The value in name is what the user will see displayed in the plugin dropdown box.

The value in locationPath needs to be the MediaStore name:

<Destinations>

<!-- User -->

<Destination name="Deliver file to third party" locationPath="THIRDPARTY-FILE-DELIVERY" />

<Destination name="Retrieve the Hi-Res file" locationPath="DELIVER-HI-RES" />

<Destination name="Retrieve the proxy" locationPath="DELIVER-PROXY" />

<Destination name="Send to Archive in S3" locationPath="S3-HI-RES" />

</Destinations>


 
Save the File When finished, save and close the file.
