Prerequisite for using the HotBin service
moves those files into the Archive directory. This occurs when you first configure
the Hot Bin service, if you manually stop/start the Hot Bin service, and when you
upgrade K2 system software.
Prerequisite for using the HotBin service
• K2 system software must be at version 3.2.56 or higher.
Configuring the HotBin service
When configuring the HotBin service, bear in mind the following considerations:
• You need to be logged with administrator privileges on the local K2 system as well
as having the appropriate security permissions to access the source directory.
• If using the HotBin service on a K2 system with shared storage, the K2 Capture
Services utility must be on a K2 server that is also an FTP server. (If your K2
system has multiple FTP servers, the utility must be on the primary FTP server.)
• The “Cleanup Frequency” (purge) feature deletes files in the Success sub-directory
and in the Fail sub-directory. It does not delete files in the Archive sub-directory.
• Files in the Success, Fail, and Archive sub-directories are “hidden” files in
Windows Explorer. To see these files you must select Show Hidden Files in the
Windows Explorer Folder Options dialog box.
• It is recommended that you keep the source directory and destination bin located
on the local V: drive, which is their default location.
• If you require that the source directory and destination bin be on different systems,
system clocks must be synchronized. The Cleanup Frequency function depends on
accurate system clocks.
• If you specify a destination bin name that does not yet exist, the K2 system creates
it when files are transferred to it.
Grass Valley recommends that you use the HotBin service as demonstrated in the
following diagram.
