BvProc sorting

Process to conversion the organization of history files.

Description

Before the 4.4.0 version of BrainVisa: all bvproc and bvsession files were stored in the same directory, which is called history_book.

Since the 4.4.0 version of BrainVisa: all bvproc and bvsession files are now sorted by date in order to accelerate the database update. In fact, if you use the incremental history method (Data Management - Update databases process), instead of to read all files stored into the database, this method will select the new data by using the date of the last incremental update.

How does this process work: this process moves each bvproc file in a directory for which the name corresponds to the date and each bvsession into a global bvsession directory.

Parameters

database: Choice ( input )
Select the database for which you want to update the organization of history files.
