Introduction

The Stitcher Tool is a utility which provides a simple way to retrieve "chunked" files from DuraCloud. When files are moved to DuraCloud using either the Chunker Tool or the Sync Tool and they exceed a defined size limit, they are split (chunked) into multiple files for transfer. The Stitcher tool provides the means by which those files can be retrieved and combined to result in the original file.

• The Stitcher Tool requires you to know the ID of the manifest which was generated to list all of the chunks of the original files. If the chunking was done by either the Chunker or Sync tools, then the name of the manifest is the name of the original file followed by ".dura-manifest".
