OpenDeploy integration with Adobe DAM product

David Smith

I'm just looking for some high level ideas here.  Marketing is going to be using Adobe's DAM product for managing their digital assets (there is a significant push to not use any more Interwoven products here), and the DAM software is going to live in Adobe's "cloud", basically on a server outside our network.  We are going to install an OD receiver on their server and perform reverse deployments from our TS server to pull the assets from Adobe's server into TeamSite.  Don't ask why - I wasn't invited to the meetings.  They just need me to install OD and set up the reverse deployment.  

 

When new assets are created or existing assets are modified in Adobe, they will need to be pulled into TS.  My question is, what's the best way to manage this process?  They are talking about copying the assets into a specific folder and initiating the reverse deployment.  But how?  I suggested having a scheduled process kick off OD every minute or 5 minutes to check for the existance of a file on their end which would indicate there are assets to be picked up.  But I wasn't sure exactly how to set that up with OD.  I know we can use DNR scripts to check for the existance of the file, but then what?  How would that information from the DNR initiate the deployment?  Another script?  

 

Has anyone dealt with scenarios like this where you're depending on an event on a target system to initiate a deployment?  Any ideas would be appreciated.
