4 Frequently Asked Questions

This chapter contains frequently asked questions.

Do Proxy Drop Folders exist and are they still usable?

Yes they still exist in this release and can be used. However, the configuration is different from earlier releases. See the Oracle DIVAdirector Administrator's Guide for more details.

Does the original proxy workflow still exist and is it still usable?

Yes the original proxy workflow still exists and is usable in this release. However, you must update the transcode workflow to produce all needed files.

Is DIVAdirector 5.4 still linked with the DIVArchive 6.5 and later APIs?

DIVAdirector 5.4 is linked to Oracle DIVA Enterprise Connect, and requires at least DIVArchive 7.4 or later.

If proxies are created outside of the new transcode service, do local proxies still work the same way?

The option to upload proxies is still available, though it uses a specifically configured Drop Folder that, in turn, must contain targeted transcoder workflows for image extraction and metadata creation.

Do Drop Folders support Partial File Restore?

Yes, both file-based Partial File Restores and timecode based Partial File Restores are supported.
