Load FPR data from your own instance of Archivematica

• If you are using a Docker deployment of Archivematica, run the following task:
  docker-compose run \
--rm \
--entrypoint /src/dashboard/src/manage.py \
archivematica-dashboard \
dumpdata --output /var/archivematica/sharedDirectory/tmp/fpr2.json fpr
• Otherwise, run the following task:
  sudo su -s /bin/bash archivematica
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/archivematica/archivematicaCommon:/usr/share/archivematica/dashboard
set -o allexport
source /etc/default/archivematica-dashboard
set +o allexport
/usr/share/archivematica/dashboard/manage.py dumpdata --output /var/archivematica/sharedDirectory/fpr2.json fpr
• Relace the "fpr2.json" in the "fpr2par/sourceJSON/"" directory with your newly generated fpr2.json file
• Note that there is one small issue with the FPR source JSON. You will have to make this fix to your fpr2.json file.
• From the "Admin" menu, if you've already created a fpr2par database, press the "Delete fpr2par Database" button
• Press the "Create fpr2par database" button
• Press the "Load data from fixtures" button

Run tests to validate fpr2par against PAR JSON schema

• From the "fpr2par" project root directory, change to the "fpr2par" application directory
