Configuring Remote Workgroups

Configuring Remote Workgroups
A large site can include more than one workgroup. When a workflow requires searching across
remote workgroups or performing workgroup-to-workgroup transfers through Interplay Access,
you must set up the local workgroup so that a user can access a remote workgroup. You set up
this access in the Configure Remote Workgroups view. You can add an Interplay Archive Engine
as a remote workgroup.
After access to a workgroup is properly configured, an Interplay Access user can select from a
list of remote workgroups when performing a search or a transfer. For example, databases for
properly configured remote workgroups are listed in the Interplay Access Send to Workgroup
dialog box.
n
Configuring a remote workgroup in this view is not needed for transfer from Interplay Assist,
Avid Instinct, or Avid editing systems.
For complete information on transferring Avid assets, see the Interplay Transfer Setup and
User’s Guide or the Interplay Transfer Help.
n
You can configure a maximum of 10 hostnames. For example, you can configure for searching
five remote workgroups and five Nearchive servers for a total of 10.
To set up access to a remote workgroup:
1. For transfers, make sure the Transfer Engines for both workgroups are correctly configured.
2. Make sure the list of users for the remote workgroup includes the user name and password of
users in the local workgroup who require access to the remote workgroup. For transfers,
make sure the user name and password match exactly, and that Administrator passwords also
match exactly.
In Interplay Access, if the local user’s account is not included in the remote user database, a
login screen appears. If you log in with an account on the remote workgroup, you can add
the remote workgroup to the accessible remote servers list but you cannot transfer to the
workgroup.
3. In the Site Settings section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the Configure
Remote Workgroups icon.
The Configure Remote Workgroups view opens.
