Configure the server


Article summary

The DOOHPlayBackImporter UDC plugin transmits booked DOOH spot instances to the player, regardless of which player you use. You must activate and configure the UDC importer to enable the player to play DOOH content. This happens on the server.

If you need help finding the UDC importer, please contact your Grassfish account manager.

Note

For DOOHPlaybackImporter version 2.6 or earlier you must install the file Dapper.dll in addition to the DoohPlaybackImporter.dll. Copy and paste both files from the release folder to \\GVServer2\UdcService\Plugins on the server and restart the UDC service.

To activate the UDC importer on the server, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the server admin account of the IXM Platform.
  2. Go to Administration > Global > Customer management.
  3. Double-click on the customer.
  4. In the Edit client window, switch to the Data importer tab.
  5. Select Assigned for the DOOH Playback Importer.
  6. Click Save to save your changes.

Configure the UDC importer

Configure the UDC importer with the configuration file that is located on the server.

Note
For the configuration, note that the importer only transmits booked DOOH spot instances to players that have been online. If no player is or was online, the importer generates no result file.

To configure the UDC importer, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the DoohUdcImporterConfig.json file.
  2. Change the following settings according to your requirements:

    Specify the maximum time span from the last access date of a player until it’s considered offline. 

    If a player is offline, it’s not included in the calculation for the distribution of playouts among all players.

    OfflineIntervalMinSpecialDistributions

    4320 (=3 days)

    Specify the maximum time span from the last access date of a player until it’s considered offline.

    Set to true to log all players, online players, and spot instances if the log level is set to debug.

  3. Save your changes and close the config file.
