Controls whether an asset can be replaced on the XMS (
True
- default).
If set to

, the ingest fails.
A
LLOW
C
ATEGORY
C
REATE
When set to
True
, subcategories will be created in the Xmedia Server
based on the directory subtree in the watch folder. For example, the
subdirectory
Images>Sports
might not already exist on the target XMS.
If you place an image file in this subdirectory in the watch folder, the
subfolder will be created in the XMS upon ingest.
If this setting is
False
, ingest will fail if the category does not exist.
F
ILENAME
IS
RECALL
ID
When set to
True
, the Recall ID of assets being saved is added to the file
name of the file being ingested. If this setting is set to
False
, then the
Recall ID is not added to the file’s name.

ORCE
RECALL
ID
When the
F
ILENAME
IS
RECALL
ID
setting is
True
and the
I
F
F
ORCE
R
ECALL
ID
is also set to
True
, if the ingest server encounters a recall ID
conflict prior to saving, the offending asset’s recall ID will be cleared (i.e.
set to empty) prior to ingestion.
Note that clearing a recall ID of an asset with an all-numerical name is
not possible. As a policy, such assets always have Recall ID equal to
their all-numerical name.
When the
F
ILENAME
IS
RECALL
ID
setting is
True
and the
I
F
F
ORCE
R

P
UBLISH
L
IFESPAN
Controls the Publish Lifespan (the number of days the asset is kept on a
device before being unpublished) assigned to ingested assets. The
default value (

) disables the setting, meaning that assets are kept for an
infinite amount of time.
A
SSET
E
XPIRY
Controls the Asset Expiry (the number of days the asset is kept on the
Xmedia Server before being deleted) assigned to ingested assets. The
Asset Expiry setting supports three types of values:
0
means never
expires; a positive value (i.e. 365) means that an expiry date of 365 days
from the save date will be set; a fixed date (i.e. 2011-12-31), which must
be in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD.
