Note
The load balancing function filters the jobs based on the prefix of the XML file.
It will only process the XML files with the same prefix as the one defined in a
dedicated registry setting. Contact your administrator to set up this function.
Subfolders Created
Four subfolders are automatically created at start up when one of the XML modes is
selected:
Subfolder Name Content
Jobs_Incoming The source application posts XML files to request jobs.
Jobs_Scheduled The XFile stores the XML jobs scheduled.
Jobs_In_Progress The XFile stores the XML jobs in progress.
Jobs_Done The XFile posts the XML files containing the final result of
the jobs.
Example of XML file for backup command
Backup Clip 112 A from EVS server n°11 to the “F:\ext_folder\clip_11_112A.mxf”
