Restarting an ingest

Prev Next

Curator version supported from this article: 3.0


The steps to restart an ingest process may vary depending on how far the ingest has progressed and which ingest method you are using.

For Curator Connect

  • If no assets have been created and the files are still in their original locations:
    An administrator can restart the relevant “Plug-in – Curator Connect” process within Process Engine.

  • If assets have been created or the files have been moved:
    Consider removing any created assets from Curator, then run the Curator Connect ingest process again.

For XChange Watchfolder Ingest

  • Files still in the watchfolder, no assets created:
    Temporarily remove the files from the watchfolder, then re-drop them to trigger a new ingest.

  • Files still in the watchfolder, assets created:
    Remove the created assets from Curator, then remove and re-drop the files into the watchfolder.

  • Files no longer in the watchfolder (regardless of whether assets were created):
    Remove the created assets from Curator (if any), then re-drop the original files into the watchfolder to restart ingest.
