Watch Service Configurator

The Cinegy Convert Watch Service is designed for monitoring network shares and Cinegy Archive database job folders.

To enable monitoring of the tasks, the service should be properly configured with all the necessary credentials defined.

The Cinegy Convert Watch Service configurator window is launched:

The indicator in the bottom part of the window shows the connection of the Cinegy Convert Watch Service to the Cinegy PCS.

All the parameters for database connection, the Cinegy Process Coordination Service association, as well as tasks configuration and creation of job folders are divided into separate tabs.

All the configured tasks are located in the "Watch Folders" tab in a table view as follows:

The first column ("Switch ON / OFF") is used for selecting the watch folders ready for processing. The next column ("Type") displays the corresponding task type icon. The "Priority" column shows the priority of processing for each task, which is defined when configuring watch folders as explained later in this manual.

High-priority tasks are processed first, suspending the medium and low-priority ones respectively. Once a high-priority task is completed, low-priority tasks are resumed automatically.

When a watch folder is added and configured, select the checkbox in the first table column to enable task processing.

All configuration changes are retrieved automatically before processing new tasks.

The width of columns can be adjusted according to your needs by placing the mouse pointer on the grid line between the columns and dragging left or right to make it narrower or wider respectively:

Adjusting columns order via drag-and-drop, as well as managing watch folders order by pressing the column headers is also supported.
