Vidispine can initiate transfers between storages using Aspera. For this to work, the source and destination storages must first be configured properly.
Source storage configuration
The following metadata fields must be set on the storage (Key-value metadata).
asperaRootPathThe absolute path to the storage rootExample:/usr/local/aspera-storage/asperaWsdlLocationThe URL to the FIMS WSDL file for the Transfer ServiceExample:http://10.18.12.10:8080/FIMS/TransferService?wsdl>asperaStatusWsdlLocationThe URL to the FIMS WSDL for the Transfer Status Service.Example:http://10.18.12.10:8080/FIMS/TransferStatusService?wsdl>
If performing a transfer from this storage, and the destination is an Aspera URL, then Aspera will be used for the transfer.
Destination storage configuration
asperaDestinationUriThe Aspera URI corresponding to the root folder of this storageExample:fasp://10.18.12.11:22/usr/local/aspera-destination?user=username&password=password&targetrate=1000&minrate=1000&v=2
If a transfer is initiated to this storage, and the source storage is also configured for Aspera transfer, then Aspera will be used for the transfer.
