Setup guide
return Value A new exportPath. Empty strings or non-string return values are ignored, while invalid paths
cause the export to fail with a path error.
void batchExportEnd( string nodeName, string exportPath, string resolvedPattern, int firstFrame, int
lastFrame, string gatewayClipPath, int versionNum, bool aborted )
This hook is called when an export ends. This function is a complements the batchExportBegin function
described above.
NOTE For stereo export this function is called twice (once for the left channel, and then once for the right channel).
If the function returns a valid path, the exported files are exported to that path.
nodeName Name of the export node.
exportPath Export path as entered in the application UI.
resolvedPattern Full path to the first frame that will be exported with all the tokens resolved.
firstFrame Frame number of the first frame that will be exported.
lastFrame Frame number of the last frame that will be exported.
gatewayClipPath Path to the gateway clip (empty if not created).
versionNum Current version number of export (0 if unversioned).
aborted True if the user aborted the export before it was complete.
Wiretap path translation
About Wiretap Path Translation
The Wiretap path translation service converts the syntax of a file path referred by a Wiretap server running
on a Linux workstation to a format that the client can understand. This service allows Wiretap clients, who
might be running Windows or Mac OS X, to understand file paths that are referenced by an Autodesk Creative
Finishing product to clips that have been soft-imported from a NAS, SAN, or any remote mounted storage.
For example, Lustre running on a Windows workstation can work with an Autodesk Creative Finishing
product's soft-imported clip on a SAN or NAS.
For the Windows workstation, the syntax of the path to the media files may resemble:
N:\myclips\clip1\frame1.dpx
On a Linux workstation, the path to the same media files may resemble: /CXFS1/myclips/clip1/frame1.dpx
When the Wiretap client tries to locate this clip, the path translation service converts the syntax of the path
so that the client can access the soft-imported clip from a remote storage device it has mounted locally.
Configuring the Path Translation Database
The path translation service uses a translation database. The path translation database contains a set of rules
that specify how to convert (or “translate”) a file path referred to by a source workstation (the host running
the Wiretap server) into a path that the client can understand. These rules are contained in the
/usr/discreet/wiretap/cfg/sw_wiretap_path_translation_db.xml file on each Autodesk Creative Finshing
workstation. This configuration file is read by the Wiretap server.
The translation database is an XML file that must be updated by hand as the network configurations change.
The file should be created and maintained by a system administrator who is aware of the configuration of
the network.
