Adding Core Endpoints
Core Endpoint Asset Deletion
When a Core endpoint is used in conjunction with one of the other endpoints, media can
be transferred from the Colossus/1.4 System to the iTX 2.x system. This allows users to do
the following:
• Port all their of media and asset data over to a new 2.x system in builk
• Transfer media as and when files are needed
• Have the media co-exist as long as you wish.
Note:
If you change metadata or notes in a Core system AFTER you have
imported an asset into iTX 2.x, you have to make another change to the asset
in the Colossus/iTX 1.4 database in order for the 2.x record to be updated. i.e.
a file modify action must be carried out- before the changes are sent from the
Core system to iTX 2.x.
Core Endpoint Asset Deletion
The Delivery Manager Core endpoint provides automatic synchronization between an
existing Colossus/iTX 1.4 system and an iTX 2.x system. It is specifically designed for
systems that are running in parallel, sharing common archives and media stores (as
opposed to systems that are being migrated).
The Core endpoint uses a specific workflow to automatically delete a common asset from
iTX 2.x if it is deleted from the Colossus/iTX 1.4 database, so that the two databases remain
synchronized. This workflow can be selected during the configuration of a Core endpoint.

Generic Steps for Adding a Core Endpoint
Note:
In Colossus/iTX 1.4 systems, this feature is currently only fully
supported in conjunction with Omneon video servers and DIVArchive
systems. For more information, contact your Grass Valley customer support
technical account manager.
Preparing the Database for Core Endpoints
In order for a Core endpoint to communicate with either a Colossus or a iTX 1.4 system, a
special SQL server script must be run against their databases. This is done by running one of
two batch files, depending on the system. When Delivery Manager is installed, these batch
files (along with the SQL scripts they run) are installed here:
C:\Program Files\iTX 2.0\Services\Delivery Manager Service\Drivers\Core
DB Installer
The batch files are:
•
InstallCoreDbObjects.bat
for Colossus systems
•
InstallITX1DbObjects.bat
for iTX 1.4 iTX systems.
