Files:
1234567_RAF_DE_de_TEST-JOB_OLV_001_6S_16x9_BJP4ho.mp4
Step-by-Step Execution
1. Download Master Assets (A1→A2)
- User selects campaign with status A1
- Downloads master assets
- Uploads to Box with tracking ID (BJP4ho)
- Stores in PostgreSQL with upload_directory
- Updates status to A2
2. Agency Processes Files
- Agency downloads from Box
- Creates V2 filenames with tracking ID
- Processes/localizes assets
- Uploads back to Box folder
3. Upload from Box (A2→A3)
- User enters Box Folder ID
- System lists files
- Validates V2 filenames
- User selects valid files
- System:
✓ Downloads from Box
✓ Loads master metadata (BJP4ho)
✓ Merges metadata
✓ Strips to: RAF_DE_de_TEST-JOB_OLV_001_6S_16x9.mp4
✓ Uploads to DAM Final Assets folder
✓ Returns Asset ID: 214811
4. Verify Upload
- Click 'Get Final Assets' button

Troubleshooting Guide
Issue: "Invalid filename structure"
Cause: Filename doesn't follow V2 convention Solution: Fix filename to match pattern exactly
Issue: "No master asset found for tracking ID"
Cause: Tracking ID not in database Solution: Download master assets first to populate DB
Issue: "Upload directory not found"
Cause: Master asset missing upload_directory field Solution: Re-download master assets with Final Assets folder found
Issue: "Box download failed"
Cause: JWT token expired or invalid folder ID Solution: Check Box-config.json and folder permissions
Issue: "Upload failed"
Cause: Various (check specific error message) Solutions:
- Verify OAuth token valid
- Check upload folder ID correct
- Ensure metadata structure valid
- Review PHP error logs
Best Practices
Filename Naming
✅ Always include tracking ID for upload workflow ✅ Follow V2 convention exactly (validation is strict) ✅ Use OMG Job Number for internal tracking ✅ Keep subject title ≤ 15 characters
Workflow Process
- Download master assets (A1→A2)
- Assets uploaded to Box with tracking IDs
- Agency processes and renames using V2 convention
- Upload from Box processes and uploads to DAM
- Verify in Final Assets folder
Metadata Management
- Master metadata provides base values
- Filename components override master data
- Editable fields: Language, Asset Type, Asset Name
- Locked fields: All other master metadata
