EVS IP2Archive Configurator Version 1.0 - July 2013 User Manual - Manual (Page 23)

A Test button is provided allowing you to test the connection with the IPDirector API. If all
data is correct, the message ‘Connected’ will appear. Otherwise, the message
‘Connection Failed’ will appear.
In the Cmnd. Timeout field you can set the number of seconds to wait while IPDirector
attempts to execute a command, before canceling the attempt and generate an error. By
default, a time interval of 10 seconds is set.
By default, the API maintains a session for 1 hour. After a period of no activity, the
session expires automatically. In the Token Keep Alive field you can set a time interval
after which the session timeout is reset to prevent the session from timing out. By default,
this is after 10 minutes.
If you select the option Extended Log Enabled, additional information will be inserted in
the application logs. For example, the API messages and parameters sent by the SOAP
API client (= the application). By default, this option is not selected.
If you select the option Trace Enabled,even more detailed information will be inserted in
the application logs,namely the entire SOAP messages sent between the
SOAP API client (= the application) and the SOAP API server (= IPDirector API). By
default, this option is not selected.
4.1.4. Configuring the Local SOAP Notification
Server
The API tab also allows you to configure the connection between IPDirector and the local
SOAP notification server that forms part of the IP2Archive Communicator.
The IP2Archive Communicator receives notifications from IPDirector through a local
SOAP notification server, for example, when a new clip has been created in IPDirector,
the archive status of a clip has changed, or when a clip has been moved to a particular
archive bin.
In the IPDirector API Notification Settings group box you have to enter the data which is
necessary for IPDirector to send notifications to the SOAP notification server.
The following data has to be entered:
• Server Local Host: The IP address or hostname of the server on which IP2Archive
Communicator runs.
• WSDL: The path to the IPDirector Communicator API .wsdl file. This path is
automatically entered based on the IP address of the server on which IP2Archive
Communicator runs.
• Server Local Port: The port on which the local SOAP notification server listens for
notifications of IPDirector. By default, this is 30677, and it should only be altered if
there are issue with firewalls or port conflicts.
