Callback location resources [VC 21.3 GEN]

Currently, this feature only works together with ANALYZE jobs

A callback location resource points to a location where VidiCore can expect to find callback documents which contain scripts that should be executed as part of a job.

Scripts are JavaScripts and are executed by the built in JavaScript engine. See JavaScript.

Currently only S3-buckets are supported as callback locations.

Adding a callback location resource

Add a callback location resource using POST /resource.

POST /resource
Content-Type: application/xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ResourceDocument xmlns="http://xml.vidispine.com/schema/vidispine">
  <callback>
    <uri>s3://name:pass@example-bucket/folder1</uri>
  </callback>
</ResourceDocument>

Callback Document format

Callback documents should be placed in the location indicated by the callback location resource you wish to use. They are formatted as such:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<CallbackDocument version="2" xmlns="http://xml.vidispine.com/schema/vidispine">
  <name>Name of callback script</name>
  <description>Description of callback script.</description>
  <script>
    JavaScript here....
  </script>
</CallbackDocument>

Note that they must be saved as .xml-files for the callback executor to recognize them.
