Recover from Migration Errors

Migration errors are shown in the

Status

column. Once started, the migration will continue

until each ingestion reports either success or failure. If you stop the migration, all queued
ingestions are removed (click yes on the popup) from the Portal Server and you can correct
the errors and restart the migration when ready.

If you ignore the popup window (click no on the popup), you will have to either remove
queued ingestions manually from the Portal Server or wait until all ingestions are complete
with either failure or success. Then you can fix the errors and restart. You may see duplicate
asset file errors in the migration

Status

column. These errors indicate that the asset already

exists on VOD-W and the Portal Server and can be safely ignored.

Verifying the Migration

Use the

Save to File

(XML) option to create a

status.xml

file which lists the video files that

failed to ingest. If some files fail to ingest during migration, you can point to this file in the

Assets

field and repeat the migration.

Assets

Filter

Optional. Enter an alphabetic substring to search for matching files
and click

Apply

.

File Names

Select the video files to be migrated from the complete list of files in
the asset list. Use

Check All

,

Uncheck All

, or

Delete Selected

as

appropriate. Note that

Delete Selected

works with selected (i.e.

highlighted) files and not checked files.

Schedule

Start On

Start date. Default = unchecked. The tool will migrate files every day
beginning at the specified hour.

From/To

The migration will run during the specified time period.

Save to File

This option saves a

status.xm

l file that shows migration results. If

some files fail to ingest during migration, you can point to this file in
the

Assets

field and repeat the migration.

• Comma – save the status file as comma separated values. This can

be displayed in a spreadsheet or an editor.

• XML – save status file as an .xml file. This file is identical in

format to the asset list (see Sample Asset List) and can be used to
repeat the migration.

Start/Stop

Start a migration; stop a migration currently in progress. You may
want to stop the migration and correct a problem if multiple failures
are shown in the Status column. See Recover from Migration Errors
below.
