Action Description
The "Check metafile expired" action allows one to check if a certain metafile(s) stored in a given meta device (s) with a given codec(s) is either expired or not.
Action Parameters
To create this action, just complete the following data:
General info
Name - Enter a self-descriptive name for the action (e.g. Check metafile expired on Omneon1)
Selection mode - Indicate how to select the file to be checked. 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 below.
* 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).
Select device - If the selection mode is "select device/codec", specify the meta device (e.g. Omneon01) for which the expiry status will be checked.
NB: The selected cloud device must have at least one configured path.
Select code - If the selection mode is "select device/codec", specify the codec (e.g. MOV) for which the expiry status will be checked.
Depending on the success of the requested operation, one of the following results will be returned by the action:
Yes (metafile has expired)
No (metafile has not yet expired)
How to use it
To check the expiry status of a metafile (e.g. WMV files stored on the proxy archive), for example, from the Media Library module, it is first required to include the "Check metafile expired" action into a T-workflow using the T-Workflow Designer.
