SmartBin Folder Synchronization
When the SmartBin Service starts running, it looks at all of the NewsEdit bins
and determines which bins are associated with Profile bins. It then queries the
Profile database for the movies in each associated Profile bin. Any movies in
the Profile bins that are not in the associated NewsEdit bin are registered to the
NewsEdit database. No files are moved—a mapping of the folders between the
flat and tree views takes place. On initialization, there is no check made to see
if NewsEdit clips are on the Profile database. This means that this initial
synchronization is one way—Profile to NewsEdit only.
Updating the Databases
The SmartBin Service constantly monitors both the NewsEdit and Profile
databases. Examples of updates to the database are listed below.
Updates to the Profile Database
• Renaming Clips—When a movie is renamed on the Profile, the SmartBin
Service automatically renames the corresponding clip on the NewsEdit
database. If there is a renaming conflict, and the NewsEdit clip is unable to
be renamed, the databases will be out of sync.
