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.)
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.
T To 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
.
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.
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.
