2.1. Concepts around Jobs
Job
A job consists in a process to be executed on a source material. The result of the process
is saved in a destination.
A job is therefore made up of three elements:
• the source material (clip, file or EDL) selected by a user in the client application,
dropped in a folder or specified in an XML job definition file.
• the process to be executed on the source material. This can be, for example, a copy,
rewrap, restore, transcoding action, referencing in an NLE, grab, etc. This is
configured using a job template.
• the destination, which means the physical location where the output of the job must
be stored. This is configured using a job template.
Soap V2 Job
The new interface to process Xsquare jobs use the soap protocol. The jobs using the new
interface are called Xsquare jobs (or V2 jobs) in the online help.
The Targets, a job initiator you can define in Xsquare, use V2 jobs.
XML File V1 Job
The interface previously used to process the jobs consists in XML job definition files. The
jobs defined in the XML files are called XML file jobs (or V1 jobs) in the online help.
Xsquare can control the XML file jobs through the ScanXML service, available in Xsquare
as a job initiator. Xsquare therefore remains compatible with the old XTAccess ScanXML
feature.
