Media Server 24.2

# CFS Output Engine

The CFS output engine segments the data produced by Media Server and sends it to a Connector Framework Server (CFS). You can use an XSL template to transform the data before it is sent to CFS.

NOTE: The CFS output engine is intended for cases where media is ingested from an external source but you want to send documents to CFS for further processing before they are indexed into IDOL.

Do not use this output engine if the source media originated from CFS and you need to return the analysis results. To return analysis results for media files that originated from CFS, configure a response output task instead. (CFS sends `process` actions to Media Server and expects the analysis results to be returned in the ACI response).

Configuration Parameter | Description
--- | ---
CfsHost | The host name or IP address of the CFS.
CfsPort | The ACI port of the CFS.
EventTrack | The track to use as the event track (for event output mode).
IdolDb | The name of the IDOL Server database to index the document into. The value of this parameter appears in the output and can be used to populate the `DREDBNAME` document field (but you must configure your XSL transformation to do this).
Input | A comma-separated list of the tracks that you want to output.
Labels | A comma-separated list of labels (key/value pairs) to add to the output produced by Media Server.
Mode | The output mode, which specifies how to combine records into documents.
OutputInterval | The amount of video content represented by each document that is sent to CFS (when you use time output mode).
SavePostXML | Specifies whether to save the documents produced by the output engine to disk.
SavePreXML | Specifies whether to save records to disk, before they are transformed.
SSLConfig | The name of a section in the session configuration file that contains the SSL settings for communicating with CFS.
Type | The type of output engine to use. Set this parameter to `CFS`.
XMLOutputPath | The path and file name for the pre- and post-XML files.
XSLTemplate | The XSL template to use to transform records into documents that can be sent to CFS.
