ONIXEDIT Automated Ingestion Agent (ONIXEDIT AIA) is an option that you purchase with your ONIXEDIT Server Edition (hosted or "on premises" model). ONIXEDIT AIA is a special service that can be configured to check for "hot folders" (FTP folders or Amazon S3 "buckets") where metadata and asset files are uploaded. Each hot folder is associated with a specific ONIXEDIT Server Edition catalog. Consequently, each time a metadata file is available in a hot folder, it is imported to the corresponding catalog while respecting the import rules defined for that catalog. As well, the Automated Ingestion Agent will search for cover image files (jpg, tiff, png, gif, bmp) and ebook files (pdf or ePub) and based on their name (ISBN or EAN in the file name), those files will be automatically associated with the corresponding title and uploaded to your Media Space or simply archived. The Agent is able to process ONIX files as well as flat files (Excel, or CSV) with automatic conversion to ONIX, providing that an ONIXEDIT import script is defined in the corresponding import script folder. After each ingestion the metadata and asset files are archived and a processing report is sent to you by email. This report is also saved at the server in order to keep track of every file ingested.
