Action Description
The "Update EFI" action allows updating the "File Info" flexi-metadata based on the information (Baton, Cerify or MediaInfo) retrieved from a certain metafile (stored on a given meta device with a given codec).
Action Parameters
Under this section, it is possible to create new actions based on the following parameters:
Parameters
Name - Give the action a brief and descriptive name (e.g. Update EFI from Baton).
File info mode - Specify the information that a metafile must have to be used as a source:
Baton
Cerify
MediaInfo
Update options - Select which information should be used to update the FileInfo fleximetadata:
Update codec - Update codec of the selected Metafile.
Update asset - Update asset data (duration, QC, etc.).
Update EFI - Update the File Info flexi-metadata.
Metafile Selection - Indicate how to select the file to be analyzed. Available methods include:
Current Metafile* - The device and codec to be matched will be retrieved from the "current metafile" set as a reference for the T-workflow instance.
Selected device/codec - The device and codec to be matched will be retrieved from the parameters set here. If a meta device is not specified, all of them will be considered.
* The "current metafile" of a T-workflow can be either set by a "set current metafile" action or inherited from a parent T-workflow (in case the T-workflow was triggered from within another).
Note: If more than one Metafile matches the selection criteria, the action will choose the matched Metafile with the FileInfo's latest date, writing a warning in the action log.
Depending on the success of the update operation, one of the following results will be returned by the action:
Done (successfully updated)
Not done (metadata is empty, or there's an error)
How to use it
The T-Workflow designer allows using "Update EFI" actions to, for example, update Etere File Info metadata after a Baton QC.
