Batch Transfer Plugin for XNAT

Bulk data operations across XNAT projects — Share, Clone, or Reimport subjects, sessions, and assessors in a single batch from one screen.

Share and Clone operations directly replace those in the deprecated Batch Share Plugin.

Plugin Version	Target XNAT	JDK
1.0.0-SNAPSHOT (target release 1.0.0)	1.9.3.3	8

Operations

Mode	What it does	Use it for
Share	Adds the selected data into the destination project using XNAT's standard share relationship. No files are duplicated; changes in the source project are reflected in the destination.	Cross-project visibility.
Clone	Full file duplication into the destination project archive; preserves original meta-data. No anonymization.	Independent, editable copies.
Reimport	Re-ingests image sessions through DicomZipImporter → destination project's anonymization pipeline. Subjects and image assessors are not transfered; only DICOM session data.	Re-anonymizing data for a new study context.

Entry points

1. Project Actions menu — the Batch Transfer item appears for project owners, edit-members, and admins.
2. Search results bulk action — legacy entry; selects items from a saved search and routes them into the same screen.

Build & test

JDK 8 only (Lombok in this Gradle 6.4.1 setup breaks on newer JDKs).

./gradlew build         # compile + tests
./gradlew jar    # jar only
./gradlew test   # tests only

Output: build/libs/batch-transfer-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Install

Drop the jar into your XNAT instance's plugins directory (e.g. ${xnat.home}/plugins/) and restart the XNAT server. If you previously ran the Batch Share Plugin, remove the old batch-share-*.jar first — XNAT will otherwise try to load both.
