Has anybody got a way to export or pull data from a database or XML for a plugin which is administered in the management client in corporate so that I can import the same data into a new instance of corporate.

MIP

An example;

We have around 2000 IP speakers that are added to corporate via a MIP and I need to get the same speakers into a new instance of corporate. The MIP developer is unsure of a way to do this?

I have an idea that you should use GetItemConfigurations

--

virtual List VideoOS.Platform.Configuration.GetItemConfigurations (ServerId_serverId_, Guid pluginDefinitionId, Item_parentItem_, Guid itemKind)

[inline, virtual]

-

Retrieve a list of items with a specific Kind and located under a specific parentItem. This overloaded method loads the configuration from a specific server as identified by the ServerId.

Parameters:

pluginDefinitionId The plug-in owner of the configuration

parentItem Identify the Item that is parent to the one we are looking for. If parentItem is null, then there are no parent.

itemKind The Kind of Items to get

serverId Identify the server the configuration is located

Thanks Bo

I have passed that information on to the MIP developer.

Have you any further info on what would be required to do to get the data and import it into the new setup?

Cheers,
Dan

I imagine a standalone program that could log in on both systems read on one and write on the other. There is an element of guessing in what it is you got. If the developer finds that my answer does not fit let me know..

Plugin developer has asked;

*Is there a way to restore or create items from an xml file or similar. I
am able to create a backup of the configured items. Each item has up to 6
associated properties.*

*Thanks*

Create a new item in code and save it in code using the properties information etc. you have from your backup.

newItem = new Item(suggestedFQID, suggestedItemName);
Configuration.Instance.SaveItemConfiguration(myPluginId, newItem);
