Delivery Manager
Configuration and Setup Guide
The Missing Materials Manager can be configured to query Delivery Manager’s endpoints
when they attempt to locate and import the media required by channels that are not
currently located within iTX.
Once found, Missing Materials Manager then triggers a workflow that creates the new asset
(and its new location) in the iTX database, so that the media can be copied to an iTX
location. The workflow then requests the Delivery Manager endpoint to import the actual
media file.
The internal workflow that handles all Search Media mode actions needs to be selected in
the endpoint configuration profile, using the Cache Content Workflow field.
For more information on the additional setup required to operated in Search Media mode,
see
Additional Setup for Search Media mode , on page 63.
Manual (or Export) mode
In a busy and complex playout facility, manual media management might often be needed.
System administrators or media managers may need to free up space on content stores to
allow new content to be ingested. Late arriving content may need to be processed quickly
by hand, rather than queued in a job list, or last minute schedule changes may require
media to be pulled into the system rapidly.
Delivery Manager therefore allows users with CIFS endpoints to move media assets in and
out of the system on an ad-hoc basis.
These manually triggered jobs are initiated by action buttons on the Asset Layout of the iTX
Desktop or SmartClient:
• Move a clip to an externally managed third party archive system.
• Restore a clip from an externally managed third party archive system.
The following additional jobs may only be carried out in conjunction with a DIVArchive
system:
• Partial Restore of a clip from an external archive (DIVA Only).
• Export of a ShotList to an external location (usually a network share) outside of iTX
(DIVA Only).
Unlike the Content Changed and Search Media modes, no workflows are required to
perform these manual operations.
For more information on the additional setup required to operated in manual or Export
mode, see
Additional Setup for Manual/Export Mode , on page 65.
