DTS DTS Pro Series manual Deleting users

DTS Pro Series Network Encoder for MAC OSX – Manager and User Guide

2.7.Deleting users

1.Under the User menu, first choose Refresh audio files to ensure that no packed audio files are present in the user’s space. You will not be able to remove the user if there are packed audio files in the user’s directory. Make sure that the files in the user’s directory are properly archived elsewhere before removing them and the user from the system.

Figure 8. Choose “Refresh” then “Remove”

2.Under the User menu, choose Remove.

3.In the confirmation prompt, confirm that the user should be removed.

Figure 9. Delete user confirmation prompt

αχ Note: This procedure does not remove the user’s duplicate log files, or the user’s folder and its contents from the Root Directory. The Manager should remove them manually as part of the necessary routine maintenance.

2.8. Deleting Jobs

This is the only way to delete a selected job from the “Completed Jobs” list. This action removes completed jobs from the database only. Users are not allowed to delete their own jobs from the database. This ensures that a record of the encoding job is kept as long as the administrator wants, even if the output encoded file and log files are removed from the user’s directory and duplicates are removed from the Root Directory.

1.From the User’s pane, select a username.

2.From the Completed Jobs pane, select a job to delete.

3.Under the Job menu, choose Delete.

αχ Note: This procedure only removes the completed job from the database. It is still the Manager’s responsibility to manually remove the duplicate log files from the Root Directory after removing them from the database, to maintain disk space available in the system.

πCaution: Jobs can only be deleted one-by-one to avoid accidental deletions, and to enable the Manager to retain a detailed record (elsewhere) of the jobs that were removed.

2.9.Library handling for local packing

If a user wants to pack a file locally, the user will need to manually obtain a copy of a necessary library for their platform (Mac or PC) and keep it alongside their downloaded customized packer. Otherwise the downloaded packer will not be able to pack the file locally, because it is missing the “Disk Checker” (DiskChecker.dll for PC, libDiskChecker.jnilib for Mac).

The installer copies both versions of the library (PC and Mac) to the application’s location (/Applications/dts/Facility_Xencode). The Encoding Service Manager will need to manually distribute a copy of the appropriate library to each user who needs it. The user will need to keep the copy of the library and their downloaded packer together (in the same directory) in order to pack locally.

There are several ways the library file can be manually distributed:

1.Copy the library onto removable media (diskette, CD, tape, etc.) and give it to the users.

2.The Encoding Service manager can manmually copy the libraries to a shared location in their local network, where the user may obtain a copy for their platform.

3.The Encoding Service manager can manually copy the library into a user’s Encoder account (/Applications/dts/Facility_Xencode/DTS_ROOT/username). From there, the user can use FTP to copy it to their local machine.

After packing locally, the resulting packed file still must be transferred into the user’s account at the server before it can be encoded. The user can use FTP to transfer the file.
