Manus Administrator
Manus Administrator is the intelligent element of Viz Mosart, monitoring the rundown in the connected NRCS, parsing the content into Viz Mosart functionality that is presented in the Viz Mosart GUI.
Manus Administrator is a console application and must be kept running at all times on your Mosart server.
NRCS Software Compatibility
There are three versions of the Manus Administrator, corresponding to the flavor of newsroom system that it connects to.
The version choice is offered at initial Viz Mosart (server) installation:
-
(Default) Vizrt.Mosart.ManusAdministrator.exe. A combined iNEWS/MOS program.
-
MMConsoleAdmin_2007.exe. Only for iNEWS (with ftp) workflow.
-
MMConsoleAdmin_MOS.exe. Only for newsroom systems with MOS workflow.
Use for all systems except iNEWS with ftp workflow, including iNEWS with MOS workflow.
Note: All three (MOS, iNEWS and Combined) Viz Mosart Manus Administrator entities are always installed. The selection made with the NRCS Type drop-down decides which of these three, the Manus Administrator shortcut shall point to.
Only one Manus Administrator can be active at any given time.
Tip: Type help in the Manus Administrator console window to see which commands you can use. See Manus Administrator Commands.
