A External interfaces
Overview
This appendix describes the following external interfaces:
• “XML file import interface” on page 143
• “XML offsite vendor interface” on page 145
• “Bulk configuration file import” on page 154
XML file import interface
For Backup Managers not supported by XML Gateway, Media Operations Server
supports a file-import interface that allows an external backup application to post
HTTP/XML formatted files to a directory on the Media Operations Server.
NOTE:
Assign a unique directory to each file-import Backup Server when you add it to the
Media Operations configuration.
File import
Every unique file-import directory is polled by Media Operations for incoming files
containing response data blocks (files not coming from the server defined for that
directory are ignored). By default, the polling frequency is 1 per minute. You can
modify it through File Polling Frequency in Global Configuration Options -> Server
Parameters.
New devices, pools, backup specifications, and media detected in the HTTP/XML
response data in valid incoming files are automatically added to the Media
Operations Server (in the same way that new devices, pools, and so on in XML
response data from the XML Gateway are).
