That is indeed the case. The identifiers/urn's are meaningful to the archive, meaning you can use them to ask the archive for the "real" deal whenever needed. > More specifically, I'm trying to understand why the Admin server is sending > something non-meaningful to the Engage Server and the Engage Server is > treating it as meaningful.

Christoph yesterday pushed a couple of fixed to the archive so that problem may have gone away. Bottom line, the Engage service should not know about the archive and only deal with distribution artifacts (i. e. tracks and/or catalogs distributed to download and streaming servers). The episode service on the other hand should (by default) not be archiving these kind of things. If you find the time to upgrade to 1.4 as of yesterday (please mind the small change in database structure), please give it another try and open a ticket (assigned to Christoph or myself).
