4.1. Synchronization Workflows
4.1.1. Overview
Three synchronization workflows can be performed in Deep Archive Sync:
• The user synchronizes the archive metadata of clips in the IPDirector database with
the archive metadata of these clips in the IP2Archive database.
• The user synchronizes the archive metadata of clips in the IP2Archive database with
the archive metadata of these clips in the DIVA database.
• The user removes in the IPDirector database the archive metadata of clips that are not
found in the IP2Archive database.
4.1.2. Synchronizing IPDirector Clip Archive
Metadata
To synchronize the clip archive metadata in the IPDirector database with the clip archive
metadata in the IP2Archive database, the following workflow has to be followed:
1. The user searches in the Deep Archive tab for clips in the IP2Archive database whose
archive metadata has to be compared with the archive metadata of these clips in the
IPDirector database.
2. The user requests a comparison. Deep Archive Sync performs a comparison through
the IPDirector API.
3. The user selects the clips whose archive metadata has to be and can be
synchronized, and he initiates the synchronization process. The IPDirector clip
archive metadata is updated with the metadata in the IP2Archive database. The
content of the archive and restore bins in IPDirector is also synchronized.
