• control-file: Wait for control file ([filename].ctl) to be added to directory.
• exclusive-open: Attempt to open file exclusively.
• immediate: Process file immediately without waiting for file to be completely copied.

fileDelay

Minimum time (in seconds) since last file change indicating that file copy is complete. This parameter only applies to file-size-delay and file-modified-delay methods.

ext

File extension to watch for (.mov,.xml, etc.).

job-priority

Job priority. Positive integer between 1 and 100, with 1 indicating the highest priority.

meta-title

Defaults to filename of source clip if not specified.

meta-author

Job author.

meta-description

Job description.

meta-copyright

Copyright notice.

meta-rating

Audience rating.

meta-keywords

Comma-separated list of keywords.

meta-timecode

Start timecode taken from the media file.

udm-item

User defined meta data item. The item name and value are given as attributes of the tag, as shown:

<udm-item name=”myItemName” value=”mytextValue”></udm-item>

profile

Name of the job profile (i.e. conform.job.awp). The path is constructed using the system profile directory (as configured in the system settings).

source-inpoint

Starting point for encoding relative to start of the clip. Format is HH.MM.SS.XXX.

source-outpoint

End of encoding for the clip. If this number is positive, it specifies the end point relative to the beginning of the clip. If this number is negative, it specifies the end point relative to the end of the clip.

In other words, -3.0 means that encoding stops 3 seconds prior to the end of the clip. This must be in HH.MM.SS.XXX format. Not available with file formats that are non-seekable.

delete-source-after-process

Indicates if the source clip will be deleted after successful processing. Deletion is done by the File Manager worker at the end of the Cisco MXE 3500 job. Source clips are not deleted when a job fails. Valid values of “true” or “yes” will turn this option on. It is false by default.

Note XML files are not deleted.

output-basename

Specifies the output base name. That name is available in the Output profile through the $(basename) variable. All encoded files receive names derived from this base name.

These tags all define output directories for various types of Cisco MXE 3500 output. A complete directory specification, including machine name or drive letter is expected.

report-dir

Location of file report of job execution (from HTTP POST notification).
