Advanced Features
Scheduled Spot Replace: As an advanced feature, you may
replace a scheduled spot with a different one within the schedule.
(Figure 4.7) This is mostly useful when needing an immediate solution
for a MISSING spot. It should not be used under normal operating
procedures where schedule changes are handled by the Traffic system.
NOTE: Scheduled Spot Replace will replace all of a selected scheduled
spot with the replacement spot. This process may not be reversed
without recreating local or interconnect schedules.
This is a manual process which modifies changes the schedule in
the merged schedule folder of the TBGS. That schedule will be sent to
the Duet during the next schedule transfer.
The frequent use of spot replace will cause eyeMonitor and it’s the
alarm run rate report to report success rates higher than your traffic
and billing’s run rate report.
Under normal operation, schedules should be changed in your
traffic and billing software in order to have accurate scheduling and
verification processes.
Figure 4.7
To replace a spot, select the name of the spot you wish to
replace in the Scheduled Spot section. The available spot names are
generated from the database and placed in a drop down menu. Once
you have selected the spot, the metadata for that spot will be shown for
confirmation purposes.
Now select the replacement spot from it’s drop down menu list and
double check the metadata to confirm you have selected the correct file.
In the section below, choose which headend(s) and/or channel(s)
you want to make a replacement on. If you want to make the change
for all headends and channels, check the Select All/None check box
and all will be highlighted. The Spot Selection section of this screen
allows you to narrow the criteria for the replacement. If you want to
limit the replacement to a specific date and time range, you can make
those selections prior to the replacement. The spot selection of Local or
Interconnect will list the scheduled spots originating from one of those
schedule sources. Clicking on the Replace Now button will make the
replacement and then close the Schedule Spot Replace dialog box.
