If a load file production was originally split across multiple volumes, it may need to be restructured into a single combined zip file before it can be imported back into GoldFynch as a load file production.
This article explains how to reconstruct those volumes so GoldFynch can properly recognize the production and allow you to create the import.
Before you begin
You will need access to all production volumes. You can use either:
the original volume zip files outside of GoldFynch, as long as they are exactly the same files that were uploaded to the case, or
the downloaded production volumes from GoldFynch
To download a production volume from GoldFynch, open the volume in the Document Viewer and click the Download button.
Step 1: Download all production volumes
Download all volumes associated with the production. In this example, there are four volumes.
Make sure all four volume zip files are saved outside of GoldFynch before continuing.
Step 2: Extract each volume zip file
Extract each zip file so you can access its folder structure.
Each volume should contain a similar set of folders, typically:
NATIVES
TEXT
IMAGES
Inside each of those folders, there is usually a numbered subfolder for that volume.
For example:
Volume 1
NATIVES
00001
TEXT
00001
IMAGES
00001
Volume 2
NATIVES
00002
TEXT
00002
IMAGES
00002
The remaining volumes will usually follow the same pattern, such as 00003 and 00004.
Step 3: Merge the volumes into a single folder structure
Create one master folder that combines all production content into a single structure.
Your final combined folder should contain only one of each main folder:
IMAGES
NATIVES
TEXT
DATA
Then place the numbered subfolders from each volume into the appropriate main folder.
Final folder layout should look like this:
IMAGES
00001
00002
00003
00004
NATIVES
00001
00002
00003
00004
TEXT
00001
00002
00003
00004
DATA
load files only
Step 4: Download and add the load files
In addition to combining the IMAGES, NATIVES, and TEXT folders, you will also need to download the load files from the case and place them into a DATA folder.
The DATA folder should contain only the load files associated with the production.
Once complete, the reconstructed production should include:
one IMAGES folder
one NATIVES folder
one TEXT folder
one DATA folder containing the load files
Step 5: Re-zip the reconstructed production
After all folders and files have been combined, compress the master folder into a single zip file.
This zip file should contain the four top-level folders directly inside it:
IMAGES
NATIVES
TEXT
DATA
Step 6: Upload the reconstructed zip to GoldFynch
Upload the new combined zip file to your GoldFynch case.
If the folder structure is correct, GoldFynch should detect it as a load file production automatically.
Once detected, it will appear on the right side of the Overview page in the case, where you can click Create Import to begin the import process.
Expected result
The final zip should be structured like this:
IMAGES containing 00001, 00002, 00003, and 00004 subfolders
NATIVES containing 00001, 00002, 00003, and 00004 subfolders
TEXT containing 00001, 00002, 00003, and 00004 subfolders
DATA containing only the load files
Tip
If GoldFynch does not recognize the upload as a load file production, double check that:
the zip contains only one top-level IMAGES folder, one NATIVES folder, one TEXT folder, and one DATA folder
the numbered volume subfolders are inside the correct parent folders
the load files are placed only inside the DATA folder
the files used are the same original files from the uploaded production
