Awaiting prioritization. John's summary: Move to more automated data flow requiring:

Use the iRecord Exports system to generate a new Darwin Core archive.
Use the IPT to add the file to the existing resource, overwriting the old files.
Check the mappings (should be OK but I had a problem when I did this which I think was me, but just to be sure).
Publish the new version using the IPT.

I suspect that we could implement a clever solution which runs on the IPT server to re-build the source file and place it in the IPT data directory on a schedule. The IPT can be configured to periodically publish. This would be a few days work I suspect.

New tool for auto-generation of DwCA files now in testing.

Closing this as I think it is adequately dealt with elsewhere
