Rules engine settings

These settings are optional on GV STRATUS systems.

To locate these settings, click Core | Engines | Rules | Modify

Setting or button	Description
Startup Mode	Re-enable rules after restart and apply only to assets changed after the activation of the rule: When the GV STRATUS system starts up, rules are enabled but the Rules Engine does not take action on existing assets. Rather, it waits until an asset changes and then evaluates the asset to take action. Re-enable rules after restart and apply to all applicable assets: When the GV STRATUS system starts up, rules are enabled and the Rules Engine immediately evaluates existing assets and takes action accordingly. Note: Take care when using this setting. Assets for which the rule action successfully completed before the restart can have the rule action applied again after the restart, resulting in a large amount of unnecessary rule activity. Do not re-enable rules after restart: When the GV STRATUS system starts up, rules are disabled. You must manually re-enable rules.
Import Rule File Handling	Rename imported files: Assets are renamed if imported via rules conditions by the Rules Engine. Create side-car files: Assets are not renamed during import, but side-car files are created for each imported asset. The side-car file is in XML format with information such as the import start time, end time, import status, and import destination.
Accelerate Metadata Triggered Rules	Setting to define the percentage of metadata triggers out of all enabled cyclic trigger rules in the Rules Condition Checker so that metadata triggered rules can be executed earlier. The default is set to 0%. Note: Do not change this setting except under advice of Grass Valley Support personnel.
Metadata Trigger Retrieve Cycle	Setting of the cycle of time to read metadata change notices from the GV STRATUS core services. The default value is set to 3 seconds, but you can change the duration of time if desired. Note: Do not change this setting except under advice of Grass Valley Support personnel.
Content Modify Metadata Trigger Filter	Setting to filter change notices of modified contents in metadata triggered rules. The default value is currently set to 5, so only every 5th polling cycle will pass these notices, while all other notices will be skipped. Note: Do not change this setting except under advice of Grass Valley Support personnel.
Save	Restarts the Rules engine and applies changes.
Cancel	Reverts to previously saved setting.

Consider the Rules Engine setting Startup Mode and the Confirm Activation option when you enable a rule, as the behavior is similar. With the Rules Engine setting you specify the behavior of all currently enabled rules when the Rules Engine starts up. With the Confirm Activation option, you specify the behavior of an individual rule when you manually enable the rule.
