Dojo,
I recently installed MediaOps v1.5.1 and was required to install two additional packages:
I am trying to understand a bit better what functional purpose these packages serve other than at face value being a repository of certain types of information.
The SDMR seems clear but Categories not so much ?
Hi Wale,
Categories are used to put the Resource Pools in a certain category. This can be used in the Scheduling application to filter your pools on the Resource View page.
Hi Jens,
Small question. Most probably I am missing the big picture, but if the Categories package will only be used to move resource pools in a specific category, why this functionality was not included in the MediaOps package?
Hi Miguel,
Categories is a solution that is also used by Live and might be used by other solutions/projects.
If we include it we can run into situations where we accidently overwrite another version of the installed package.
Hi,
FYI: in this mediaops version, Categories replace the previous concept of Domains.
I’m not sure whether other customers were using Domains, but Skyline is expected to provide a migration script to convert existing Domains into Categories.
Hi Kévin,
Your organization is the only one using Domains as it was never officially released. Therefore we didn't mention this in the MediaOps release notes
There is additional info available in the release notes: https://docs.dataminer.services/release-notes/MediaOps/MediaOps_Plan/MediaOps_Plan_1.5.1.html#resource-pool-categories-id-44534
