Avalon has the ability to perform management of media files after it has successfully processed them. There are three management strategies:

• move
• delete
• none (no action)

...

can be configured to handle media files after processing is complete—for example, deleting them from the filesystem, or moving them to a spooler directory for further processing by another system.  The three management strategies are move, delete and none.

Strategies

Move

The move strategy will move master files to the configured specified path once they have been processed.  This path needs to be file system accessible.

...

The new masterfile name will be prepended with the pid, replacing the colon with an underscore. 
Example: movie.mp4 -> avalon_2390-movie.mp4 

When the file has been archived, you can see the new filename in the item's raw metadata.

...

is renamed g158bh28p-movie.mp4 after processing.
This new filename will be added to the record's metadata as well.

Delete

The delete strategy will delete the master file after it has been processed.

 master_file_management:
   strategy: 'delete'

None

...

The 'none' strategy will leave the master files in place after processing (i.e. no action on the original media file).
