Salvos don't fire when a destination in that salvo is locked

If a salvo has a destination in it that is locked, the entire salvo fails to run. Is it possible to have the salvo just skip whatever is locked and run the rest of the salvo? I’ve got a few customers who are less than savvy when it comes to router operation and have gone behind me and locked out certain destinations that I programmed salvos around. Then they freak out when the salvo doesn’t run anymore. I can usually fix this issue, but sometimes this happens during pre production for a live event and I’m unable to help out in time.

Yes, we came across this also. We are yet to find a way around it.

Hi, i need this too.

The original post was 8 years ago and i have looked int he Ultrix User Guide to try and find a way to have a ‘ignor errors’ way of recalling a Salvo but I can’t see a way.

Surely this is fixed now???

Hi Jeremy

Thanks for the question

Yes, however you may need to contact support to get an upgrade file if you are not already running your Ultrix on version 6

there is now a “best effort” setting for salvos

Hi Mike, thans for this. We are on 6.5.

Where is this menu please?

Hi Jeremy,

its in the “product info” section and the “setup” tab of your Ultrix or Ultricore BCS

Got it! Thankyou :slight_smile:

Good Afternoon Mike, assuming the system is set to ‘Best Efforts’, is there notification of the failure of routes to execute? If so, where could that be found?

Thanks,
