Project Overview

Description

The team is to develop three different lightweight prototype widgets for customers in the Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry. Oracle will incorporate these prototype widgets into a backend system that models the business workflow within the industry. These widgets will work together to provide customers with a user-friendly interface for accessing and manipulating tasking information, helping them to make precise business decisions.

Motivation

There are various emerging trend that are gaining great interest in the M&E industry. The promises of using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Business Process Modeling (BPM) technologies to form composite applications to provide flexibility and openness to systems have caught the attention of many CTOs. By introducing non-intrusive widgets with simple user interfaces that extract information from the backend system running on the BPM technology, it allows users to easily obtain and control “live” information. This timely information enables user to be on top of the development during productions.

Deliverables

Business Process Application

The industry has many business processes that exist within the back end system. Oracle BPM suite will be used to model and simulate the actual industry. The widget will be triggered by the workflow in the BPM. The widget, together with BPM will help the oracle to showcase to potential clients through different communication protocol how they can provide a new, non-intrusive channel for interaction with the backend systems.

Widgets

1. Transcode Widget

Summary

Widgets are Java Plug-in using JavaFX libraries. Transcoding is a digital data conversion of one encoding to another and the function of a transcode widget is to view the status of the transcoding process to a transcode farm. User is able to pause, stop and resubmit a transcode event and status of a transcoding job will be reflected.

The transcode widget will need to display the following information:

Value

Description

Transcode Vendor

The transcoder’s vendor

Job Name

Name of the transcoding job

Job ID

Id of the transcoding job

Profile Used

The profile name used

Production

The production of the task

Asset

Asset name related to the transcoding job

Date / Time Submitted

Date and time the transcoding job is submitted

Job Status

The current status of the transcoding job


The transcode widget will be triggered by the following events:

Events

Description

Job submitted

When a transcode job is submitted

Job successfully completed

When a transcode job is successfully completed

Job paused

When a transcode job is paused

Job fails

When a transcode job fails


The actions that can be done through the widget:

Events

Description

Job Flow Control

Pause/Stop a transcode job or resume one using the same transcode parameters.

View details

View details generated by the transcode farm or DAPS for the following events:

  1. When a transcode job is successfully completed
  2. When a transcode job fails

Setting the refresh frequency

2. Work List Widget

Summary

The work-list widget allows users to view the outstanding tasks that have been assigned to the user. It will alert users on different events like tasks assigned, completed and status. Filtering can also be done by Project, Month or Department and also, the assets required.

The Work List Widget will need to display the following information:

  • Outstanding tasks for an artist, including what assets are needed for each task. Can be filtered by Project, Month or Department
  • “Work Forecast” – Projection of an artist’s workload 3,5 or 7 days into the future
  • “Work History” – Listing of completed tasks. Can be filtered by Project, Month or Department


The worklist widget will be triggered by the following events:

Events

Description

Task Assigned

When a task is being assigned to a user

Task Complete

When a task is completed by a user (?)

Task Change Status

When a status of a task has changed


The actions that can be done through the widget:

Events

Description

View Tasks Details

View Task Details

Task display filters

Filter outstanding tasks by Project, Month or Department

3. Reporting Widget

Summary

The reporting widget is for managers to have a quick snapshot overall view of the current situation happening in different productions. The widget has different views to choose from, for example, active and overdue assignments, assignment breakdown or cost by production or by department.

The Reporting Widget will need to display the following information:

  • Active Assignments For Department By Production
  • Active Assignments For Production By Department
  • Assigned Users For Production By Department
  • Assignment Breakdown For Status By Production
  • Cost By Asset For Production
  • Cost By Department For Production
  • Overdue Assignment For Department By Production
  • Overdue Assignments For Production By Department


The reporting widget will be triggered by the following events:

Events

Description

Task Assigned

New task assigned to an artist

Task Complete

When a task status changes to indicate that it’s under review

Task Change Status

When an asset or shot has been finalized

The actions that can be done through the widget:

Events

Description

Setting the refresh frequency

Setting the refresh frequency for the widget information

Additional Requirements for the Widgets

1. Widgets Communication Protocols
The user will be able to choose which protocol he would like to use for the user to communicate to the backend systems. The widget will need to be able to communicate using the following protocol:

  • SOAP/HTTP protocol
  • REST/XML
  • REST/JSON

2. Flexible Endpoints
The widget should have a mechanism to enable to users to change the webservices endpoint to retrieve the information on the transcode, worklist and also the report widget. The administrator will be able to change/update the endpoints to these services remotely.

3. Ability to view task details in Work List Widget in a browser
Each widget displays a subset of the information about particular tasks. The user will want to view the full details of the tasks. The user will be able to click on any tasks and has the option to view in the application. That action will launch the browser and navigate to the webpage that shows the details of tasks.
