Understanding Multiple ISIS Workgroups
127
Limitations
• Each workspace name in the workgroup must be unique. There can be no duplicate
workspace names across the multiple ISIS systems.
This restriction is especially important when using Interplay Access for tasks that require
reference to a workspace, such as delete and search. In those parts of Interplay Access that
require a workspace name, you cannot specify a shared-storage server name, only a
workspace name.
You can view complete path for files, including the shared-storage server and workspace, in
the File Locations tab of the Object Inspector.
• The Interplay Media Indexer application must run on an AS3000 server in order to monitor
multiple ISIS systems. The total number of files that the Media Indexer can monitor sets the
limit for the number of files supported in a multiple ISIS workgroup. See the Interplay
Readme for the supported values. You can use the Media Indexer web-based user interface
to view the current file count. The value (Files) is displayed in the Statistics window as
shown in the following illustration.
For more information, see the Avid Interplay Best Practices Guide.
• There can be only one copy of a media file in the entire workgroup. The Copy service is not
supported for copying assets from one ISIS system to another within the same workgroup.
• Adding additional ISIS systems does not increase the number of ISIS clients that are
supported in the workgroup.
Avid Editing Systems Support
Users of Avid editing applications (NewsCutter, Media Composer), Interplay Assist, and Avid
Instinct can edit using media from any ISIS system to which they have access. On each system,
the ISIS client software must be configured for additional ISIS systems. See “Adding Remote
ISIS Systems to ISIS Client Software” on page 131.
