About the EAS import process

Once the curator submits a packet, the EAS loader will detect the packet and move it from the secure drop box file system to a secure storage file system location designated for EAS.

The EAS importer picks up the packet from the secure storage file system and runs a series of processes that convert the original packet, creating a copy for further processing. Both the original packet and the converted copy are kept in the EAS secure storage file system. The EAS importer process converts email messages to the EML standard format; copies external attachments; extracts embedded attachments; writes metadata supplied by the archivist to an Oracle database; associates rights metadata restrictions of “Rights basis: risk assessment” and “Secure Storage required: unconfirmed;” and stores the metadata plus extracted email message content (headers and bodies) in a Solr index on the secure storage file system.
