Archive JobLog Downloads

Job details and an inventory of all files saved by archive jobs can now be downloaded directly in P5's web-admin interface, via the Job Monitor or Job Logs windows. Inventory information is provided in a tab-separated file, available fields to include are configured in each archive index's settings.

JobLog File Delivery

Users have always been able to setup email reporting, so information about completed jobs are delivered to your inbox. Users can now specify a folder on a P5 client and have the same information delivered as a text log file to a chosen location. This is great for automated ingestion of P5 job information, and also avoids issues configuring email sending.

Search Job History

When using the Job History window to browse completed jobs, a search field allows quick location of a job according to its description. 

Volume Inventories

On a per-Volume basis, it's now possible to run a job which collects a list of all files saved to a volume and outputs it into a file. The setup window allows users to select which fields they would like to include in their inventories.

Volume Inventory jobs may take some time to run depending upon the number of files saved to a volumes and the number of different indexes that have to be queried to generate the output.

S3 Object Archive Update

A useful update when creating and sharing an S3 Bucket from P5, which allows 3rd party tools to submit and restore data via our S3 server interface.

P5 now supports listing of buckets via S3 API calls, allowing simple 3rd-party FTP-style tools (e.g. Cyberduck) to be used to test the S3 Object Archive feature, included with P5 Archive module for code-free integrations to an LTO archive.

Index Search Optimization

Searches using 'contains string' are vastly improved for large indexes through database optimizations.

Throughput Optimized When Writing to Disk Containers

Faster writing to cloud and disk storage, where containers are first created on disk before upload to cloud or on-premise S3 storage. P5 now provides multi-threaded container creation, for increased throughput on faster hosts with fast storage.

Case-Insensitive Archive Index Fields

Meta-data fields may now be created using a case-insensitive string type, allowing easier searching of human-generated metadata.
