摘要： According to the present invention, a media manager is provided which incorporates an application program interface (API) for converting high-level generic commands into device-level commands for output to a media device. The inventive media manager includes a high-level command processor which decodes the high-level generic commands and device-specific code mapping modules which convert the high-level generic commands decoded by the high-level command processor into device-level commands. Each of the device-level commands is output from one of the device-specific code-mapping modules to a corresponding one of the media devices. The present invention also encompasses a method of implementing an application program interface (API) for media devices. The method includes receiving high-level generic commands from a computer application, converting the high-level generic commands into device-level commands, and outputting each of the device-level commands to one of the media devices. The present invention also encompasses a computer program product including a computer-readable medium. The computer program product includes means for decoding high-level generic commands, means for converting the high-level generic commands into device-level commands, and means for outputting each of the device-level commands to a corresponding one of the media devices. The present invention further encompasses a common application program interface (API) which converts high-level generic commands received from a computer application into device-level commands which are output to a plurality of media devices including media servers which stores media objects. The common API includes a plurality of individual APIs which each perform a specific function.

摘要： Managing a content management system. The content management system is one that is configured and controlled to establish a connection between a client and a library server, generate a transaction identifier and insert, a record for the transaction in a tracking table associated with the library server, pass transaction data from the client to a resource manager, process the transaction at the resource manager and record transaction data in a tracking table associated with the resource manager. The resource manager returns transaction success/failure data to the client, compares activity recorded in the tracking tables, and takes corrective action based upon the activity comparison.

摘要： A system and method in accordance with the present invention provides for replication in a content management system. Replication is provided by utilizing the library server to track the objects to be replicated within the system. The replication is accomplished by adding two tables to the library server, a copies table and replicate table. The copies tables includes three new parts flags. A first flag identifies an ending as a copied part. A second flag identifies that other copies of this part exist. Finally a third flag identifies that a part is not yet available.

摘要： A resource manager (14, 16) of a content management system (10) is configured to receive a client request (34, 36) pertaining to information and to access at least one of a plurality of data servers (20, 22, 24, 26) to execute the client request (34, 36). An encryption engine (80) encrypts passwords associated with the plurality of data servers (20, 22, 24, 26) using a key-based encryption algorithm and stores a ciphertext corresponding to each password in a passwords storage (40). A server identifier module (70, 72) identifies a ciphertext in the passwords storage (40) that is associated with the at least one of a plurality of data servers (20, 22, 24, 26). A decryption engine (100) decrypts the ciphertext using a key-based decryption algorithm corresponding to the key-based encryption algorithm.
