Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 150)

Configuring channels
any text file for the same day of a previous month. So at any time, it holds the logs for up to 31
days.
iTX stores the text files in a folder on the Database Server, on the drive on which you install the
iTX software. The default path of the folder is:
C:\AsRun\channelname
Don’t Wait for Secondaries
When this option is enabled in conjunction with Create AsRun, the As Run log files will be
written as each item in the schedule is played out, regardless of whether their primary or
secondary items have also played out.
As-run schedules
iTX bases the names of as-run schedules on the schedules from which they are created; it adds
the suffix _asrun to the schedule name. For schedules without names, iTX names the as-run
schedules after the channels in which they play out; it adds the same suffix, _asrun.
If you log onto iTX with an account that is a member of the Administrators or System group,
you may use PinPoint to find an as-run schedule and load it in a playout or edit channel.
As-run iTXML files.
In order to export as-run logs as iTXML, you need to install the iTXML As Run Plug In.
This is found in the installer selector under Database Server > ITXML As Run Plug In. It is then
configured via a new tab in the As Run Service itself.
Click the Add button to add the name of the channel and then browse to or type the location of
the directory you would like your iTXML files written to. Paths can be edited and channels can
also be deleted if you no longer require as-run logs in this format for them.
Because the iTXML is generated by extracting the information from the database including all
stored asset metadata, this type of As Run log is described as ‘data enriched’.
The As Run Service reads the information from the database and finds what metadata is stored
for each media item that has been played out. It collates this information and, from it, creates
an as-run log in XML format.
