iNEWS Style Validation
Command users can turn off style validation in iNEWS. This is most useful for graphics
systems that create new items and need to have them sent to Command, even though they do
not exist in the Command inventory. For this feature to work, modification to the
SYSTEM.MAP
story is required in iNEWS.
To turn off style validation:
1. From an iNEWS Workstation, open the first story in the
SYSTEM.MAP
queue.
2. Add a sixth column to the story with the word NO in it.
For example:
3. Click Save.
Editing the SYSTEM.MOS-MAP Story
The MOS-Map story, which is the first story in the
SYSTEM.MOS-MAP
queue, contains
information vital to the integration of the plug-ins. Here is an example of settings for
Command as they might appear in the Map story:
The first line is the header. The second and third lines are comments—as indicated by the
semicolons—that provides additional information or structure to the file to help system
administrators.
The fourth line contains the following device information, which is case sensitive:
The MOS ID of a Deko character generator, such as
DEKO1
. The channel names in this
channel group must match the Gateway ID configured on the DekoMOS Gateway. See
“Configuring the DekoMOS Gateway” on page 106.
The channel group for the Deko, such as
CG1
. This, too, must match the channels IDs
assigned and configured on the DekoMOS Gateway.
