Zipline Configuration

CUE Zipline is a CUE extension that was originally designed to support CUE Print integration, but is now also used to support DC-X integration. For general information about CUE Zipline and how to configure it, see here.

CUE Zipline supports data transfer between DC-X and CUE. Specifically, it enables the transfer of:

Reports on the use of DC-X assets in CUE
Assets uploaded to CUE
Wire stories from DC-X to CUE

To make CUE Zipline support basic DC-X integration (excluding the import of wire stories), add a DC-X processor definition to the processors entry in the CUE Zipline configuration file:

processors:
  ...
  # Reporting usage information for DC assets
  - type: dcx
    endpoint:
      # URL of DCX API endpoint
      url: dcx-integration-endpoint
      user: dcx-integration-user
      password: dcx-integration-password
    cache:
      # Override default cache capacity (10000)
      max_size: dcx-integration-cachesize

    # Base URL of CUE web installation (e.g., http://server:port/cue-web/)
    cue_web: cue-web-endpoint

    # Configuration of usage info block
    info:
      view:
        label: View
        link_text: Browse
      edit:
        label: Edit
        link_text: Open in CUE
    upload:
      upload-configuration

The DC-X processor definition contains the following properties:

type: Must be set to dcx.
endpoint: Must contain properties specifying the DC-X endpoint URL plus a valid DC-X user name and password.
cache: May optionally be used to specify cache settings.
cue_web: Must contain the CUE endpoint URL.
upload: May optionally be used to define what kinds of uploaded assets should be copied back to DC-X, and how they should be handled by DC-X. For details see Upload Configuration.
