Gateway Gateway.txt "readme" file Jul.10.2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is information regarding the latest release of the ENCO Systems
Gateway/Dist software package. Note: These notes are intentionally vague.
They are simply a list of changes made to Gateway/Dist. Specific, detailed
information on any of these items should be acquired from ENCO Tech Support
at +1 (248) 827-4440 (Tech Support cannot be reached via the 800 line).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 8.1b (Jul ??, 2008)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Gateway copies a Workstation Config CFI file - the CUTSERVER_IP_ADDDRESS
is now removed from the target file
Location->Add now prevents duplicate Location Names even after converting
locations from older Gateways
Location->Add screens now have some helpful sample strings
CriticalFiles->CutSecurityFiles rule now properly processes open *.CSD files
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 8.1a (May 23, 2008)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added a Transfer Content control to User Setup Rules. Default is enabled.
When enabled - G/W will check to see that any cuts required within a User
Setup are synchronized between Source and Destionation locations. This
adds overhead to User Setup Rule scanning.
Added a REBUILD DATABASE button to Locations->Database->Modify window to allow
a user to do a Rebuild on a Remote Database rigth from within Gateway.
Scanning must be stopped to do this.
Defaults for Transfer Content for Playlist and UserSetup Rules within the
Mirrored Rule Set are now both DISABLED. Since Mirrored Rules include
a Cut Range Rule for 1-99999 - there's no need for Playlist and User Setup
rules to check cut content.
Corrected problems with transferring some User Setup files. CVT were not
being cleaned up, and sometimes the User Setup CFG's were not transfered.
Corrected problems with translations within User Setup files for Library
Location changes
Added some "sample" strings to Location setup so it's let confusing what
kind of data to use. Setup->DisableTimes also has sample time strings
(which MUST be hh:mm:ss - 4:12:24 will NOT work - must be 04:12:24)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 8.0a (Apr 04, 2008)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revamped LOCATIONS to support the three types of locations that can exist:
A = Audio - for defining where audio files are (or will be) located
D = Database - for defining where Codebase databases (.dbf) are located
S = SQL - for defining where SQL based data tables are located.
Note that Database Name in SQL is something like F_CUTS or C_CUTS, etc.
The LibPath (library path) information has been removed from LOCATIONS and
is now in the RULES themselves allowing for any combination of audio and
data locations.
Dist and Dist-Wo and Gateway-Wo are no longer supported. All EXE's are
copied from Gateway.exe to maintain existing shortcuts. Therefore RAS
(remote access server/dialup networking) is no longer supported.
Pressing the RESET button in the SCANNER will reset the last date/time
scanned information for the hilited rule. This could be used if the
date/time of the machine got set incorrectly - possibly interupting
the proper scan cycle for a rule.
Supports the new Cut Security file system with MLIB support
Queues Window now stretches vertically to allow more entries to be seen
New Setup->Disable ALL setting allows the absolute pausing of Gateway activity
for the specified period. Useful for auto-Unique-Rebuilds.
Has DOW checkbox to allow the specifying of one or more days per week to disable Gateway.
Enable Scanning checkbox and Abort Rule button now behave better to stop rule scanning.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2t (Dec 03, 2007)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2r (Oct 19, 2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added support for the new Safenet 7.4.0 key driver
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2q (Sep 28, 2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Removed SQL support for this version - was causing some instabilities for
non-SQL users
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated Gateway to work with the new Library Display method added to DAD
version 5.2c.236
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2m (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added the ability to transfer a DAD library without any audio using a
CutRange rule and the new Transfer Contect checkbox. Default is
enabled (transfer audio). Turning it off will allow for transferring
a library to another destination. Specifying not LibName for the
destination will use the Source LibName
Corrected an instability problem related to processing User Setup files
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2k (Jul.16.2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with transfering audio and playlists for rotate and
playlist cuts
Corrected some elusive instability problems - SQL users should not use this
version of Gateway!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2j (Jun.21.2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a error that would prevent normal scans from "seeing" re-recorded
cuts - so proper transfers would not trigger.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2h (May.15.2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected an error that occured when using wildcards (ex: @M@D) in a
Playlist Rule. Was improperly creating "Playlist Not Found" errors.
Corrected a problem with updating LibLoc for RecordLists and CutSecurity
file processing in a Critical Files Rule. LibLoc wasn't being updated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2g (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added support for SQL based DAD Databases. All handled within the creation
of LOCATIONS. For an SQL data locaion - select the SQL mode:
SQLserver, Mimer, MySQL
This will prompt for DatabaseName, UserName, Password in the lower
portion of the Locations screen
UNC should still point to where \dad\files lives
Drive Letter is still LOCATION for audio
Library Path is still typically \dad\files\
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2f (Mar.?.2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with User Setup File processing. Wasn't properly
changing embedded LibLoc settings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2e (Jan.18.2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with Playlist Rules and handling old playlists that
don't have all the latest fields
Corrected a problem with User Setup Rules and handling old User Setups that
don't have all the latest fields
Corrected an issue copying playlists with Tracker VoiceOvers and Production
Elements where the Comment and LibLoc fields were not being updated with
the proper drive location. This would result in the elements not playing.
Added the ability for the Prevent Newer File Overwrite option to work with
playlists - used to work only on cuts
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2d (Jan.11.2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with Opening the Scanner Window while a Playlist Rule
was processing
Corrected a problem with defaulting the default Library Name to "blank"
no defaults to the first library name found
SETUP settings and Column/Windows sizes/placements now saved "permanently"
no longer requiring Gateway to be closed and restarted
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2c (Dec.18.2006)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem when moving Voice Overs that would result in the wrong
LOCATION on the voice over cuts - causing big problems for DAD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2b (Oct.11.2006)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABORT and unchecking "Enable Scanning" now more usefull when trying to
stop an active Gateway
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.2a (Oct.10.2006)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Completely revamped MultiLibrary support
Added support for CutServer so Gateway is no longer a "third party" player
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.1h (Aug.16.2006)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with Gateway's support of "conversions". Was a timing
problem with AudioCvt (c:\gateway\transfer).
Corrected a problem with the TRANSPORTERS window not opening at times
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.1g (Jul.24.2006)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with Gateway writing metadata to the wrong fields (again)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.1f (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with Gateway writing metadata to the wrong fields (again)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.1e (Jun.28.2006)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with Gateway writing metadata to the wrong fields
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.1d (Jun.21.2006)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with Rules being deleted after using the new DAD DCL:
GATEWAY SCAN RULE X
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.1c (Jun.20.2006)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem when trying to scan a cut that doesn't have a way to
resolve a LOCATION. Would stop the entire rule from completing instead
of just reporting the missing audio drive and moving on
Changed the Scan Size default to 100 (was 10) (number of cuts to scan)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.1b (Jun.16.2006)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated Gateway to properly support the new DAD CFI files introduced in 5.1a
Scanner Rule List now displays the unique and fixed Rule # for each rule.
New "Send To Location" feature added to Library in DAD.
Allows user to send one or more cuts to a Gateway Location by sending a
request to a Gateway. Transfers and status all handled by Gateway.
Use %datadir%\dad\files\LibSend.ini to control this new feature.
A sample LibSend.ini is provided in C:\dad\files by setupDAD-xxx
User access is via Library->RightClick->SendToLocation->location
Enable in Gateway by setting Setup->DAD Requests Scan Internal to nonzero
Gateway now supports the DAD "GATEWAY SCAN RULE #" DCL
Requires the LibSend.ini described above be used.
Use the Rule # as listed in the Scanner also described above.
Now supports the new Filecheck (EDL/SLT) fields
Corrected a problem with using the "*" wildcard in a Playlist Rule when
there was only one valid Playlist satisfying the request
Corrected a problem that prevented PreventNewerOverwrite from working
properly
Improved the handling of MaxQueued events
Improved debug/trace capabilities to make it easier to troubleshoot problems
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 5.1a (Apr.13.2006)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected THE problem that would cause Gateway to shut down after just a
few hours of running and never get (R) data to get completely synced
Improved GUI behavior during long scans.
Corrected a timing problem between Gateway and AudioCVT when doing
conversion rules. Could have resulted in no files being transfered
to the destination.
When the Scanner compares Date/Time of audio files - it now allows for the
times to be off by up to 2 seconds. This allows for differences in
FAT32 and NTFS storage of time data.
Thank you Roger Taylor!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4z (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem that caused Gateway to shut down after just a
few hours of running
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4y (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with playlist rules introduced in 4.4r or later that
would cause instabilities in Gateway
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4x (Oct.2005)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changed Playlist Rule processing to use LOCATION to fill LIBLOC instead
of the UNC/Drive
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4w (Oct.2005)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changed Playlist Rule processing to properly recognize and transfer changed
playlists. Now uses LASTUP and LASTUPTM fields in PLIST to determine
that a playlist has in fact been changed. DELETE CUTSAUX ON EXIT is
REQUIRED for this update to work properly!
Corrected a problem in processing mirror set rules. In some cases,
Gateway would not process these successfully for more than 24 hours.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4v (Oct.2005)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changed Playlist translations of LibLoc to use the Database location -
not the Audio Drive location
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4u (Oct.2005)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with Scanning a Playlist Rule while a Playlist is
getting transferred.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4t (Sep.2005)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copying legacy Playlists (from cut or playlist rules) now handled correctly.
New fields (LibLoc and LibName) are now translated as per the rule
doing the transfer based on Audio Drive mappings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4s (Sep.2005)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changed Playlist rules to handle LIBLOC when transferring to another
location.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4r (Sep.2005)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Playlist Rules using the Transfer VO option now properly transfers the
voice over audio files - was only updating the playlists.
Mutex added to prevent install/update wizard from running if Gateway is
running.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4p (May.2005)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway/AudioCVT now nicely handles empty cuts (header only, etc.)
Normalization in Gateway/AudioCVT now matches DAD's CD Rip Normalize and
the DropBox normalizer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4o (May.2005)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDL files transferred by Gateway to different target cut numbers now
change (internally) to match the destination cuts
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4n (Apr.2005)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem with handling rules with VERY long user descriptions
Ancillary files (edl, txt, slt, etc.) are now properly processed when
doing conversions
Support for copying to different library names now supported properly
Added "compressed" to Cut Rules to allow for cut renumbering using the
lowest cut number available.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4m (Jan.2005)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a date/time stamping problem with Playlist that Gateway maintains
Corrected a problem with Bi-Directional rules that bypass the "Newer File
Overwrite" option. If Prevent is enabled - it won't allow updates from
older audio to newer audio.
Gateway now modifies destination EDL's as necessary to support changed
target cut numbers
Gateway was defaulting to useing DATABASE drive letters for the Audio
mappings. This resulted in cuts not being transfered.
Now properly uses the Audio Mappings drive.
Corrected a problem with audio files associated with User Setup Rules
from being copied. (like Array button audio, etc.)
Added "Archive" option to Cut Rules to allow for copying cuts to a specific
destination without requiring a Cuts database to manage it
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4k (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changed gateway to support link to new AudioCVT 6.0
Properly changing destination fields for converted audio files (sample rate,
format, mode, EXT, etc.)
Initial support for WatchDog added.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4j (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected problem with Delete Cut Range rule for deleting via Last Played
was resulting in an improper pathname error for the cuts.dbf
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4h (May.24.04)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added support for the Quick Search database (use checkbox in Setup)
Added support for wildcards in Misc and Asplay Critical File rules.
example: WXYZ@M@D@Y.* where @M=month @D=day @Y=year
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4g (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changed Rule Checkboxes so that unchecking a box will stop checked sub-rules
(below) from scanning
Corrected an internal allocation error that could result in rules not
saving source and destination locations correctly
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4f (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added support for DAD5 (multiple libraries)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4e (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected a problem when adding a new rule that could result in it
scanning only once
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4d (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected another problem with the destination database not updating
the FORMAT field if Gateway was converting the source cut
Corrected a problem that resulted in misc characters ending up in the
BillBoard field (deletion of CutsAux is required!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4c (Nov.26.03)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAD RecLists are now fully supported
Changed some timing parameters to correct scanning problems when running
Gateway on a Windows NT machine
Corrected a problem with the destination database not updating the FORMAT
field if Gateway was converting the source cut
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4b (Oct.23.03)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules now support CONVERTING cuts to other formats when sending to a
destination. This feature requires the use of the MPEG_CVT package
from ENCO. Settings controlled by running c:\gateway\transfer\audiocvt.exe
Dolby-AC2 source cuts currently not supported.
Rules now supports days/times at which Gateway will NOT scan. Very
useful when trying to make sure Gateway is idle at a specific time (like
for Unique Rebuild, etc.). Accessed via the "Don't Scan" button in a rule
New Rule Set type added: Mirror Set
Adds 11 rules that make up a typical mirroring scenario. This feature is
considered "in development" and will be completed in a future release.
Corrected a problem with copying an active DAD Groups database.
Gateway will now copy Switcher Command Cuts - i.e. cuts with no audio and
with no CMD files associated with it. Previously a database record would
not be moved unless there was an associated file.
Gateway now supports an option to copy Voice Overs only.
Accessed with the TRANSFER VO option in a rule.
Corrected a problem when trying to convert/transfer a cut that was held
"open" in a record machine in DAD.
When processing a Mirror Delete - Gateway now deletes cut#.* - not just
cut#.ext (where ext is specified in the library - like .WAV). Important
for users of the new Convert option within a rule.
Internal notes:
- using all latest DAD fields
- using cb65
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.4a (not released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changed to "tree" display style rules
Allows for graphically copying/enabling/disabling inidividual or groups
of rules. "Rule Set" added as a way to organize rules
Individual rules can now be labeled for easier identification
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3s (Oct.18.02)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Correction made to the SHUTDOWN mechanism to maintain the status of the
"scanner enabled" switch. Also handles shutting down while actively
scanning (by aborting the scanning)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3p (May.23.02)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Found and corrected a reversed logic problem with the new support for
not copying NEWER over OLDER files. The logic was correct for audio
files - but reveresed for non-audio files. This is controlled by
the "SETUP/Newer file overwrites" option
Added a new SETUP switch "RUN WITH DOS" for users with mixed DOS DADpro
and DADpro32 environments. The EDL files are different, using this
switch will keep the EDL's in a format that DOS can use.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3n (May.21.02)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway can now be shutdown by a COMMAND LINE UTILITY called:
SHUTDISTNOW which can be found in the \gateway directory.
Using this command without a parameter will try to shut down a
gateway/dist running on the same machine.
An optional IP address (or resolvable name) can be specified as
a command line parameter to shutdown a gateway/dist on another
machine. Example: SHUTDISTNOW 10.44.44.44
or SHUTDISTNOW BACKUP
Using the new startup option -b or -B or /b or /B will force Gateway/Dist
to "live" in the System Tray (rather than the Task Bar) when started up
and whenever minimized
When Gateway creates destination data in the CUTSAUX database, the data now
from the destination files itself - no longer assumes the host data is
the same
When Gateway evaluates date/time stamps, if the source is older than the
destination, the transfer will NOT take place and a message is logged
Gateway now supports newer style DAD USER SETUP FILES. This will properly
support the transfer of all P_PLAY and ARRAY button cuts
Support for updating the SEARCH database in SETUP has been turned off
and greyed out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3k (Feb.27.02)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If LOG MISSING HOST AUDIO is enabled in SETUP, error entries will now be
written to the error log not just the reporter screen. When not enabled
no entries will be sent to either the log or screen.
Upon startup of Gateway, XFERSTART entries in the CUTSAUX are now cleared.
This will allow records that had errors in previous transfers to get a
fresh evaluation for transfer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3i (Jan.18.02)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected RAS support for newer rule types (misc rules, etc.) and verified
RAS functionality
Added CheckBox in SETUP to allow for deleting the CUTSAUX files on next
exit. note this works once per exit and the checkbox is cleared
Added the ability for a Playlist rule to transfer "without content" so
intelligent wild cards can be used and so PLIST.DBF can get updated
without checking for content
Added two options to MISC RULES:
a) specifying /SS on the source filespec will include subdirectories
and will keep all files in sync (could be high performance cost on
large numbers of files)
example: \dad\files\*.*/SS
b) specifying /SN on the source filespec will include subdirectories
but will NOT keep the files in sync. i.e. will copy all files every
scan. example: \dad\files\*.*/SN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3g (Dec.06.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added support for the new ARTIST field in the Cuts Database (Library)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3f (Nov.29.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected another error associated with transfering open cut security files
Rule numbers now display in the Scanning Area so you can tell what rule is
being processed
Initial implementation of IP Socket based XML responses to ENCO's "Guardien"
application monitoring package. Official support coming in g/w 4.4a
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3e (Nov.20.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added support for transfering open cut security files
Corrected problems with transfering Voice Overs embedded into playlists
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3d (Nov.06.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added support for transfering "open" database files - like groups, etc.
Used to ignore these open files.
New Reference Guide can be found in \gateway\gateway.doc (word format)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3c (Aug.13.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cut Security files are now processed by the Critical Files/Security Rule
An elusive "stopping" of Gateway in some sites (after 4 days) problem was
corrected
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3b (May.18.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: this version REQUIRES the deletion of c:\gateway\CUTSAUX.* !!
(we recommend this procedure be done periodically - like a rebuild)
Improved modified time checking procedures to minimize audio file transfers
Increased FILESIZE field in cutsaux to handle files larger than 99,999,999
(requires CUTSAUX.* be deleted)
Improved handling of elements queued multiple times (large or slow moving
queue) to mimimze audio file transfers
Added commas to ByteCount and FileSize to improve readability
Added X-tra Info data showing more details on reasons for audio file transfer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.3a (Apr.12.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Main Gateway window now has a message box for important messages.
Currently messages like low space warnings and Mirror Delete processed
are displayed there. Very important messages (like low space) will
change the message LED to RED. Information messages will turn the LED
YELLOW. No new messages leaves the LED green. There is a RESET button
to "acknowledge" all messages and a CLEAR button to clear all messages.
This message windows is a 500 event FIFO and is not written to disk.
Users can now specify an INCLUDE or EXCLUDE group list in a CUT RECORD MASK
Example: create a file called c:\gateway\mygroups.txt.
In the CUT RECORD MASK GROUP field use the special entry: {mygroups}
This rule will then process the mygroups.txt file as follows:
The file can contains either the line #EXCLUDE OR the line #INCLUDE
(but not both!). Then any groups specified below that line (one group
per line) will be included or excluded by the SCANNER for rules pointing
to this file
LOCATIONS now support a MINIMUM SPACE parameter. Hiliting a LOCATION will
now check to see that this minimum space is met and turn the LED red if not
and green if OK. The actual space available on that location is also
displayed.
LOCATIONS now support a WARN USER option if the MINIMUM SPACE ever gets low.
This controls the display sent to the main message window described above.
This was made optional for those LOCATIONS accessed via questionable links.
If a link goes away (T1 goes down for example), the minimum space alarm
would trigger.
The CONFIG Critical File Rule now includes *.CFG, *.GPO, *.GPI, *.IS? and
*.OS? files
Deleting entries from the QUEUE now delete the corresponding event from the
"CUTSAUX" database (the main G/W database) causing a more complete analysis
on the next scan
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.2g (Mar.12.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway now properly processes Workstation Based channel assignement files
(*.cha)
Corrected an error in processing certain CUT MASK based rules.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.2f (Mar.05.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected MISC RULES processing. Scanner would occaisionally not find new
work to do.
Changes made to column size and placement are now "remembered"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.2e (Jan.24.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional corrections made to Scanner Rule syncronization
Columns in most screens are now adjustable and repositionable
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.2d (Jan.23.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected the Scanner to properly schedule scans. The schedule for the //
first rule was controlling the scheduling of all rules.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.2c (not officially released)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected error in processing a "blank" Cut Mask criteria record. If the
mask dialog was opened, a "blank" record was created preventing any matches
from occurring - crippling the rule.
"Open" files will now transfer correctly. Example: Groups.dbf, asplays,
.res files (which may require later DADpro32 s/w)
New RULE added: USERSETUP FILE rule for moving user setup files
Delete playlist rule supports "+" and "-" days
Scan Rate window has a new "CLEAR ALL" button
Scanner and Reporter windows have "new and improved" screens
Command line option added: -c
Allows for the tracing of the specified cut to the "cdebug.txt" when
the SETUP/DEBUG window option is enabled.
Misc Rules revamped and working in a more "obvious" way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gateway 4.2b (Sep.23.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrected some multi-tasking issues. Stabilized.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Command line options:
-b Gateway/Dist runs in system tray rather than Task Bar
-t text places specified text on Title bar to help identify the application
Internal use command line options:
-c##### (for "tracing" a particular cut=#####)
must be used with setup/debug/enabled - creates cdebug.txt
-genedebug
general activity debugging file - creates genedebug.txt
-whyaudio - creates why.debug (reasons for audio transfer)
