MOS Gateway Configuration File

send to the MOS device a default running order name, consisting of the
iNEWS Server name followed by a forward slash (/) and the iNEWS
rundown’s full queue name. For instance, if the server’s name is NRCS and
the rundown queue is SHOW.11PM.RUNDOWN, then MOS Gateway will
send the running order name as: NRCS/SHOW.11PM.RUNDOWN.
The INEWS_RO_NAME string should be changed to the iNEWS running
order name.
The MOS_RO_NAME string should be changed to a MOS device’s running
order name.
The <handlesEmptyStories> Group
<handlesEmptyStories>YESNO</handlesEmptyStories>
The YESNO should be changed to YES if the MOS device manages stories
with no items the same way it handles stories that do have items. Some
MOS vendors do not handle stories with no items as the MOS Protocol
specifies; for these devices, YESNO should be set to NO.
For instance, Table4 gives the standard settings for two MOS devices.
If the <handlesEmptyStory> parameter is absent from the file, the
system defaults to YES.
The <handlesRoStoryMoveMultiple> Group
<handlesRoStoryMoveMultiple>YESNO</handlesRoStoryMoveMultiple>
The YESNO should be changed to YES if the MOS device supports the
roStoryMoveMultiple MOS command; when set to YES, MOS
Gateway will use the roStoryMoveMultiple command to move
stories in the running order. The default is YES.
