Finalizing the Delivery Manager System
Configure Delivery Manager Workflows
Under the Simple tab the Simple Workflows pane lists the default Delivery Manager
workflows. They are:
• Cache ShotList
• Export ShotList
• Manual Archive
•
Manual Partial Restore
(DIVA only)
• Manual Restore
• Post Media Import
The Details pane contains the following fields:
• Name: The default contents of this field match the name of the selected workflow. This
name will be used as the label for the button that triggers the action in iTX Desktop and
SmartClient.
• Enabled: When checked, the selected workflow will be active.
• System WF: Because these workflows are not system workflows and require user
intervention to trigger (i.e. clicking the workflow button in Asset layout), the checkbox
labeled System WF should be unchecked.
The action button for the workflow will now appear on the Asset layout of the iTX
desktop or SmartClient.
• Killable: Check this check box if you want to allow users to cancel the workflow
operation at any point.
• Workflow Definition: If you wish to apply a different XAML file with modified
properties, use the ellipsis button on the right of the Workflow Definition pane to
browse to the different file. The file path of the current file is displayed in the pane. The
default path is set on installation.
• Createable: This field contains the default criteria a piece of media must meet for the
corresponding workflow to be actionable in iTX Desktop or Smart Client. For example,
for the Manual Archive workflow the default criterion is
MediaLocationType is iTX
.
If a piece of media is not on iTX, the manual archive cannot be performed.
Note:
Any changes made to a workflow will require the Workflow service to
for more
information.
If you add a new workflow or rename an existing workflow you will also have
to restart the iTX Desktop or reload the SmartClient in your browser in order
for the new name to appear on the corresponding button.
Configuring the Manual Archive workflow
For the Manual Archive workflow you must specify the Delivery Manager endpoint to use
for the archive using the Workflow Properties. You also may want to specify additional
criteria for the Creatable condition to ensure only certain media is archived.
To configure the Manual Archive workflow:
1 Open Workflow Configuration and go to the Simple tab.
2 From the Simple Workflows list, select Manual Archive.
3 For the Manual Archive workflow the default Creatable criterion is
MediaLocationType is iTX
.
