Transforming XML files using GV STRATUS Playout Gateway
• In the File Name Filters field, you can create a filter to specify which files in the
Inbox Folder trigger the transformation. To create the filter, type the string
representing the files that you want transformed using the star character (*) as the
wildcard. For multiple filters, separate the strings by either commas or semi-colons.
For example: channelA*.xml, channelB*.xml, channelC*.xml
• In the Transform File field, type the path to the XSL file containing the
transformations that you want to apply to the files placed in the Inbox Folder
configured in this XSL Transformation instance.
• In the Output Folder field, type the path to the folder into which you want the
process file to be saved or click the browse button to choose a folder on the
network.
• In the Output File Name field, type the file name for the processed file or click the
Insert Macro button to use variables:
• Directory Name: inserts the ${DirectoryName} variable into the field. This
variable copies the folder name from the Inbox Folder to the Output Folder.
• File Name: inserts the ${FileName} variable into the field. This variable saves
the processed file using the same name and extension as the source file.
• File Name without extension: inserts the ${FileNameWithoutExtension}
variable into the field. This variable saves the processed file using the same
name as the source file, but does not copy the file extension.
• Date (Local Format): inserts the ${Date} variable into the field. This variable
obtains the date from the machine hosting GV STRATUS Playout Gateway and
adds it to the file name using the same format as is configured on the host
machine.
• Date (US format): inserts the ${Date[MM-dd-yyyy]} variable into the field. This
variable obtains the date from the machine hosting GV STRATUS Playout
Gateway and adds it to the file name using the format MM-dd-yyyy.
• Date (UK format): inserts the ${Date[dd-MM-yyyy]} variable into the field. This
variable obtains the date from the machine hosting GV STRATUS Playout
Gateway and adds it to the file name using the format dd-MM-yyyy.
• If you have configurable parameters in the XSL file, create the arguments required
to provide the values for those parameters. To create the arguments, click the
Arguments button and do the following:
• Click the Add New Argument button.
• Depending on the type of configurable parameter you have in the XSL file,
choose the appropriate type of argument. Click Add Text Argument if you
need to provide a text value. Click Add Numeric Argument if you need to
provide a numerical value. Click Add Boolean Argument if you need to
provide a boolean value.
• In the Name field, click the > button to choose one of the configurable
parameters found in the XSL file.
• In the Value field, type or select the value depending on the type of argument
selected.
• Click OK.
• If you want the original XML files to be deleted after they have been transformed,
select the Delete Source File checkbox.
