Send Documents to CFS

To send documents to CFS, use the following procedure.

To send documents to CFS

  1. Create a new configuration to send to Media Server with the process action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

  2. In the [Session] section, add a new task by setting the EngineN parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

    [Session]
    Engine0=CFS
    
  3. Create a new configuration section to contain the task settings, and set the following parameters:

    Type The output engine to use. Set this parameter to CFS.
    CfsHost The host name or IP address of your CFS.
    CfsPort The ACI port of your CFS.
    XslTemplate The path to the XSL template to use to transform records into documents. Media Server includes an XSL template for sending documents to CFS (configurations/xsl/toCFS.xsl) in the Media Server installation directory.
    Input (Optional) A comma-separated list of the tracks that you want to output. Specify one or more tracks. If you do not set this parameter, the engine outputs all tracks that are configured by default as 'output' tracks. For information about whether a track is considered an 'output' track, refer to documentation for your analysis, encoding, and ESP engines in the Media Server Reference.
  4. Configure how to combine records into documents. For information about how you can combine records, see Choose How to Output Data.

    • To output data in single record mode, set Mode=SingleRecord.
    • To output data in time mode, set Mode=Time and use the OutputInterval parameter to specify the amount of video content represented by each document.
    • To output data in event mode, set Mode=Event and use the EventTrack parameter to specify the event track. The event track must also be an input track, so include it in the list of tracks specified by the Input parameter.
    • To output data in bounded event mode, set Mode=Bounded and use the EventTrack parameter to specify the event track. The event track must also be an input track, so include it in the list of tracks specified by the Input parameter.
    • To output data in at-end mode, set Mode=AtEnd.
    • To output data in page mode, set Mode=Page.
  5. Save and close the configuration file. OpenText recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the ConfigDirectory parameter.

Example

The following is an example configuration to send documents to CFS.

[CFS]
Type=CFS
CfsHost=localhost
CfsPort=7000
XSLTemplate=toCFS.xsl
Mode=time
OutputInterval=20s
