Example rule: Deleting EDIUS XS lock files

You can create a rule that periodically deletes EDIUS XS lock files. This removes the lock from assets that were a part of an EDIUS XS project, so that you can access the asset after the EDIUS XS project is done. This is an example of a typical rule.

Log in to the GV STRATUS Control Panel application with administrator privileges.
In the GV STRATUS Control Panel application, click General | Rules.
Click Add. Rules Editor settings open.
In the Rule Type drop-down list select Delete.
In the Name field type in EDIUS LOCK DELETE as the name for the rule you are configuring.
In the Description field type in a description for the rule you are configuring.
In Scope settings, specify the location in which the rule operates.
1. Click Add location. The Location Selection dialog box opens.
2. Navigate to the EDIUS_LOCK bin on the K2 system, select the bin, and click OK. The location is added to the Scope list.
3. Select Include Subfolders. When this is selected, if there are multiple directories under the selected location, the rule operates in each of the sub-directories.
In Frequency settings, specify how often the Rules Engine triggers the rule.
1. Select the following option:
  - Daily: Sets the number of days.
  A Start Time setting opens. Enter a time during which the system is not used, such as 3:00 AM.
In Rule Options settings, specify how the asset is deleted. Select the following option:
- Delete Entire Asset: Deletes online material, archived material, and proxy.
In Rule Conditions settings, specify the conditions the Rules Engine looks for to qualify an asset.
1. In the Select items when drop down list, select the following:
  - ALL of the conditions below are met: Assets that match all conditions.
  Conditions and custom expressions are similar to those in GV STRATUS Advanced Search.
2. For each condition (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) click the Add Condition button and select from lists to define the condition, as follows.
  - 1 [Asset Type] [is List]
  - 2 [Modified] [is before] [48 hours ago]
Click Save.

This creates a rule that runs every day at 3:00 am. The rule searches in the EDIUS_LOCK bin and deletes any file that was modified more than 48 hours ago.

You have now created the rule, but the rule does not run until you enable it.

Next, enable the rule.
