Rock Art Inventory Creation

The rock art inventory DVDs are created on the test system. Thousands of HTML and images files are created. For a full DVD, the process runs about an hour or less.

First steps require copying over the current data to the test system:

  • Dump the DRA SQL tables
  • Copy SQL dump using Filezilla
  • Load the SQL dump
  • Sync the /web/pix image files using Unison
  • Sync the wiki data using Unison

Run the processes to create the DVD:

  • Run /drawiki/moindumpall.bat
  • Run HtmlPdfPrep.py

  • Modify Inventory.py output (CD_folder), input (folders), and other options as desired
  • Run Inventory
  • Create or modify xx.book config file for HtmlDOC
  • Run HtmlDOC
  • Copy PDF file created by !HtmlDOC to _SurveyReports folder, rename to _SurveyReports.pdf

  • Burn DVDs
  • Create and apply DVD labels and holder covers

Special processing sometimes used:

  • Omit Rock Art Inventory reference to PDF before processing
  • Omit copyright notice at end of _pdf.html before creating PDF

If the output is too large for a DVD, consider:

  • Dual layer DVDs
  • Split across 2 or more DVDs
  • Omit captioned images
  • Omit original images (zoom function will not be available)
  • Omit pdf reports
  • Make images smaller or use lessor quality
  • Use a jump drive with a capacity large enough to hold all data
