Delivery Manager Feature Set
The table below describes each of these features, followed by another table that identifies
the features supported by each of the endpoint drivers:
Feature Description
Content changes If content is added, deleted or modified on the store or location the end-
point is configured to monitor, it reacts by updating the asset's record
within the iTX database and then re-import or delete the appropriate file
as required.
Monitor folder
(“drop box”) The endpoint specifically monitors a folder on a remote content store.
When new assets arrive in that location, they are processed. Likewise, if
any assets are deleted or modified in that location, the asset and its
record are updated, depending on the specific configuration of the end-
point type.
Process XML files The endpoint can update Asset Records within the iTX database by pro-
cessing XML based metadata files that are deposited at the location it is
configured to monitor.
Check for “place
holder” assets The endpoint can process new asset records that as of yet do not have an
actual associated media file. In production terms, a Place Holder Clip.
Processes creates The endpoint creates, or in some cases updates, an asset record when
importing new media.
Processes deletes The endpoint deletes an asset and its associated record if requested to do
so.
Processes renames If an asset is renamed in Opus, via the SmartClient or iTX Desktop then
the endpoint can process the action.
Find Colossus/iTX
1.4 system content The endpoint can actively query a store, archive or external content man-
agement system to locate a file requested via Missing Materials Manager.
