Aspera Integration [VC 21.3.1 GEN]

Vidispine can initiate transfers between storages using Aspera. For this to work, the source and destination storages must first be configured properly.

Source storage configuration

The following metadata fields must be set on the storage (Key-value metadata).

asperaRootPath

The absolute path to the storage root

Example:

/usr/local/aspera-storage/

asperaWsdlLocation

The URL to the FIMS WSDL file for the Transfer Service

Example:

http://10.18.12.10:8080/FIMS/TransferService?wsdl>

asperaStatusWsdlLocation

The URL to the FIMS WSDL for the Transfer Status Service.

Example:

http://10.18.12.10:8080/FIMS/TransferStatusService?wsdl>

If performing a transfer from this storage, and the destination is an Aspera URL, then Aspera will be used for the transfer.

Destination storage configuration

asperaDestinationUri

The Aspera URI corresponding to the root folder of this storage

Example:

fasp://10.18.12.11:22/usr/local/aspera-destination?user=username&password=password&targetrate=1000&minrate=1000&v=2

If a transfer is initiated to this storage, and the source storage is also configured for Aspera transfer, then Aspera will be used for the transfer.
