We're using the IPWS at the moment and are looking at what would be involved in migrating to the CTMS API. The documentation I've seen so far seems a bit incomplete lacking in specifics - for instance under Advanced Search in the CTMS Use Cases document it just says "this information is being prepared". What I'd be interested in

Just got this when I issued a DeleteAssets request at 12:09:45 today Here's the stack trace from the iws log: 2018-04-30 12:09:45.151 [WARN ] http-8000-Processor22 Administrator o.a.c.p.PhaseInterceptorChain :345 -- Application has thrown exception, unwinding now org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: null at org.apache.cxf.service.invoker.AbstractInvoker

When using the IPWS Search request, to exclude assets which either don't have the system attribute Record Complete set, or have it set to "0", I specify "Record Complete" NOT_EQUALS "0". This works fine as long as at least one asset in the database has this attribute set. If none of them do (so essentially this attribute

Hi fellers, I'm investigating to find the quickest way to search the database for all assets with a particular attribute value. I'm restricting the search to start with a particular folder and to return the minimal set of attributes, but for a big database it can still take an hour or more to return the results. I'm considering these ways

Yes, this would be a handy addition to the Web Services functionality. In the meantime you could probably do it programmatically by checking out the AAF, rewriting it without the offline resolution, and checking it back in. Now rewriting an AAF ain't terribly easy, but I do a certain amount of it using the "Media Authoring with Java" API

Hi Vadym, The logs I shared with you are from a customer using IPWS 3.4.0, which is the same their Interplay engine. Digging into it further, I found that the WS actually did send a reply of sorts, but it was empty, giving this XML parsing message: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxEOFException: Unexpected EOF in prolog at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,0] Geoff

Gents, I've been trying to work out why it is that at certain customer sites the IPWS can become unresponsive and must be restarted before it can be used again. I can now see what's going on - it happens when send a request which never receives a response, no matter how long a timeout I allow. For instance, here's a case where GetFileDetails

One of my colleagues has been happily hosting IPWS 2.7.5 on his Windows 7 machine but has now upgraded to Windows 10 and IPWS no longer seems to work. The service gives this error in the iws_*.log file on startup: 2017-01-03 12:17:27.502 [ERROR] Thread-1 o.a.c.c.C.[.[localhost].[/] :3958 -- Servlet threw load() exception java.lang.NullPointerException

The AAF for the bad clip mentioned above...

Small correction - these clips weren't made by AMA linking, they were made by importing XDCAM OP1a MXF files into Media Composer. I found one problematic clip (produced by Media Composer 6.5.2) which has the additional curious problem that all audio tracks show up as A0 in Interplay Access (see screenshot)! I found the original camera file and created
