Purchased Content Ingestion

4.After mass ingestion is complete, review the total results displayed on the Mass Ingestion utility. (The total results cannot be saved.) On the Portal Server, open Microsoft Office Excel Viewer 2003, view the Excel spreadsheet from the MCS C:\ drive and check for failures on columns A, C and E. The columns should be populated with True and if False is shown, a failure has occurred. This means that the video file with the False failed to ingest. Contact VBrick Support Services if any failures occur. Note: the .xls file will now contain failure information only and was modified during the ingestion process. Be careful not to overwrite the original .xls file.

5.When done, change the Transfer Rate on your VOD-W back to 10,000 Kbps. (See Configuring a VOD-W Server on page 159.)

Note When a large ingestion completes, the utility may not respond to mouse commands for a few minutes. This is normal and for best results, wait a few minutes for it to recover.

Backing Up the Database

Once Mass Ingestion is complete, it is recommended that you perform a full database backup. To ensure a successful database backup, you must follow the exact sequence of steps shown below. Also, since this process will interrupt any streaming video, you may want to schedule this procedure at night or during non-business hours.

Note If you purchased EtherneTV Backup, all key directories are backed up every ten minutes. With ETV Backup there is no need to perform a manual database backup.

TTo backup the database:

1.Log into the Portal Server as the Administrator.

2.The MySQL Service will need to be stopped in order to have a clean copy of the

database. Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
