Data — Configuration
Full and partial configuration of the Extractor can be exported as XML documents. This is achieved by
clicking one of the links inside the
Export XML
frame. A new browser window pops up containing the
selected XML document. The browser will allow the contents of the page to be saved to file.
Restoring the Extractor configuration, multicast stream list or OTT channel list is just as simple. Just
click the
Browse
button and select the file that contains the XML document. Then click the
Go!
button
and the information in the XML document will be applied. The configuration, stream list, thresholds and
scheduling exports can all be imported by other VB7880s. Multicast stream lists, OTT channel lists and
scheduling information can be exported to and imported from Sencore VideoBRIDGE probes.
You can also import and export license and software maintenance keys in XML format from this page.
It should be possible to import the configuration from a VB280. Go to the Data tab in the VB280 and
select
Full configuration
under
Export XML
. Due to the changes in the architecture between the VB280
and the VB7880, some changes may not carry forward correctly.
To import documents that have been manually edited the CRC attribute at the very top of the document
must be deleted (i.e. delete
crc="..."
from the file). This will bypass the checksum verification
mechanism.
Under certain circumstances an unmodified configuration file may fail with a CRC error when imported
back. This problem can most often be fixed by opening the exported configuration file in a text editor and
removing the
crc
attribute as mentioned above.
