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 system. BPM is seen to be one of the possible ways of implementing the processes. The process that is modeled should consist or demonstrate the communication with other processes and services, a Human Task and gateways. |
Widgets
1. Transcode Widget
The user will be able to view the status of the transcode jobs that are submitted to a transcode farm. The transcode widget should capture the following information. |
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. |

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.
4. The application must be a Fusion ADF-Application.
2. Work List Widget
The worklist widget allows users to view the outstanding tasks that have been assigned to the user. The user will login into the system via the widget and the widget will display all the outstanding tasks. |
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 |
Setting the refresh frequency |
Setting the refresh frequency for the widget information |
3. Reporting Widget
The reporting widget is typically used by managers who wish to have a quick snapshot view of the current situation that is happening in the different productions. |
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 |
