After you have configured resources they will show up on the Group tab. Each resource will also list its assigned output.
Schedule
Click on the Schedule tab. Click the New button to create a new scheduled task, or pick an existing task and click the Edit button to modify an existing task. There are 3 types of tasks that you can schedule.
Configure Resource: bring it online or offline, or to reassign it to a different group.
Reboot Host: schedule a resource to reboot for maintenance purposes
Run Project: schedule a live encoding project Select “Run Project” and click OK.
Give the Task a name, and optionally a description.
There is an “Auto Purge” checkbox to the right of the Task Name. Normally you will leave “Auto Purge” selected. This will automatically delete the task schedule from the database 10 days after it has completed. Note that this will not delete the record of the completed Job, or other recorded task information from the database.
Targets:
Select the Targets tab, and assign the resource you want to use to run the task (if the task type is run project) or the resources (if the task type is reboot host or configure resource). On the Targets tab there are also options to allow you to choose what to do if the targeted resource is busy. Task:
On the Task tab add the specific project that you want to use for this task. The options shown on this tab will change depending on which type of resource you have selected:
resource on a SelenioFlex Live encoding system
Stream resource with a capture card
Stream resource with a capture card which is also in a group that is using a router
Stream resource which is using an IP Source
For an SFX-Live resource pick the Project File that you want to use for the job. These project files have a file extension of ".szl".
When you create SFX-Live project files you will have to download them from the encoder to a location that can be accessed by the Live Manager Server. Use the "Add File" button to add them to the list of projects that can be used by the SFX-LM Server. After you have added them they will appear in the drop-down menu so that you can use them to set up subsequent scheduled tasks. For a Stream resource with a capture card you will need to select a Source Profile option:
“From Project” uses the path for the Stream source profile directory to find the source profile referred to in the project (Stream 3.x: C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents\Digital Rapids\Stream\SourceProfiles; Stream 2.x: “C:\Program Files\Digital Rapids\Stream\ColoradoSourceProfiles”)
“Local File at Resource” uses the source profiles found in the Stream source profile directory, but lets you pick which one to use from the console, rather than using the one that was set in the project
“Live Manager File” uses a source profile that is managed by the Live Manager Server, replacing the one that was set in the project
For a target resource which is in a group with a router, select which router Input to use when the project starts.
For a target resource which is using an IP Source, specify whether you want the Transport Stream Input used to be the one specified in the project or the one specified in the Task.
Schedule:
Select the Schedule tab and set when you would like the task to start, and how often the task should repeat. Schedule a duration for the encode, or if you would like the encode to be continuous, leave this field blank. (Do not set a “duration trigger” in the Stream project.) Set a “Repeat until” date and time, either indefinite or a specific time.
If you would like to run a user-generated Script on a scheduled basis, you can do so using the Script tab. This advanced feature is intended for users with development experience who have created their own scripts. Premade scripts are not provided. (This tab will be hidden unless you enable it in the Server > Options.)
The example below schedules a 30 minute encode every 2 hours up to 11pm on December 31th.
Scripts:
If the “Enable Scripting” option has been enabled on the Server > Options window you will see a Scripts tab. This allows you to setup the Task to run a script for the following types of Events:
Save the Task:
Click Save to save the task and to add it to the Scheduled Tasks list. If you selected “immediately” when you set your schedule, then the encode will start. If you have scheduled a time Live Manager will start the project in “prepared mode” 15 seconds before the scheduled time, so that there will be no delay for start up once the scheduled start time arrives. (Prepared mode requires Stream 3.3.) Managing Scheduled Tasks:
You can add as many new Scheduled Tasks as you need. On the main interface’s Schedule tab, all scheduled tasks you have created will be shown. Note that there are two Schedule view types, Calendar view or Task Entries view, selected using the drop-down box at the top of the Schedule tab. When you are using the Calendar view the time scale shown at the top of the table can be changed from the default 12 hour AM/PM clock to a 24 hour clock using the Server > Options. If you set up an encode to start later, but you now want it to start immediately, you can select the task, then click the Edit button, go to the schedule tab, click the Reschedule button that will now appear in the upper right hand corner, revise the schedule, and then Save the job again.
You can also pause a task. Select the task that you want to pause, and then click the Pause button found to the right. This will stop the encode without deleting the job from the list, so you will be able to resume the job again later without needing to recreate the same job.
When you are using the Calendar view, and a task is currently running if you want to stop it immediately you can right click on the task and select Stop Now.
If your task does not start on schedule, you can click on the task and you will see some details about the task in the panel at the bottom of the window (e.g., Success, Missed allowable run window, etc.).
There is a “Video Tool Tip” option available when you are in the calendar view. If your task is currently running and it is outputting a video stream, then when you place your cursor over the task a thumbnail of the video will be shown.
There are two modes in the Calendar view: Normal and Edit. In Edit mode all the unscheduled time will be highlighted in dark blue. In Edit mode you will be able to reschedule a task by positioning your cursor inside the task until the cursor changes to a double-headed arrow, and then clicking and dragging it back and forth on a row.
You can also copy an existing scheduled task by holding the CTRL button and then positioning your cursor over the task until the cursor changes to a double arrow. You can then click and drag the task to other resources or to a new time for the current resource to create a new copy of the task.
While you are in Edit mode you can also change the start and/or end times of a task by positioning your cursor near the edge of the task rectangle until it changes shape to an “
I
” with arrows, and clicking and dragging back and forth. In Normal mode the task schedule cannot be altered by clicking and dragging tasks or edges of tasks.Alerts
All Live Manager Alerts are automatically logged, stored in the integrated database for 30 days, and shown on the Alerts tab. You can decrease the number of days that records are kept in the database before being purged, but you cannot increase it to more than 30 days. To set the number of days before Alerts are purged, use the main menu to select Server > Options > Server Prefs. You can use the Alerts functions to set up recognized activities into categories, and to set up rules that define which person should be emailed a message each time the activities in a selected category have occurred.
On the Alerts tab, click the Categories button, then on the Alert Categories window click on the New button. This will open the Edit Category window.
Give the category a name, and then choose the types of events you want to be in this category from the Available Alert Types list, and use the “>” button to move them to the Selected Alert Types. Then click the Save button to create your new category.
Once you have created a category, you can set up message rules to send an email to a designated person whenever an event in that category is detected.
To use the email notification feature, you must setup the email server that will be used, and set up email addresses. Click on the Email Servers button, and then enter in your email server information. Save the email server information.
Return to the Alerts tab, click on the Address Book button and enter the email addresses you would like to use when you send out notifications.
Return to the Alerts tab, click on the Rules button. Use this to set messaging rules to assign which people in your address book will receive notification of which categories of alerts. To create a new messaging rule, click on the New button.
Give the messaging rule a name. On the Filter tab you will see a list of all of the alerts categories you created previously. Pick the ones that you want to use for this messaging rule. On the Notify tab you will see a list of all of the email addresses you previously added to your Address Book. Pick the Addresses that you want to use when messages are sent. Once you have saved the new rule, emails will be sent out to the appropriate people based on the settings.
As you use Live Manager, alerts will be generated, and items will be entered into the database whether or not they are emailed to an individual using a messaging rule. You can filter the alerts that are displayed using the criteria at the top of the window.
You may also see a “Bulk Alert” displayed in the Alerts list. This type of alert will be generated if the same alert is generated over and over. Instead of displaying (and emailing) the same alert
repeatedly, the individual alerts will be accumulated into a bulk alert, and displayed (or sent) after 10 minutes and then every 30 minutes after that if the alert keeps repeating.
If you highlight an item in the Alerts list, then additional information about that alert will be displayed in the bottom half of the window, including a record of whom the alert was emailed to (if it was selected in a messaging rule).
As with all tables displayed in the Console, you can export the items shown in the Alerts table by right clicking on the column headings and choosing Export. Alternatively, you can click on the Export button found above and to the right of the table.
