KB294392608: MediaBeacon - How to Migrate Configuration from One Environment to Another

Description

How to migrate existing MediaBeacon configuration from one environment to another.

Procedure

1. Shutdown MediaBeacon and all related services (FS Events, Preview Nodes, Portals, R3Search Instances, etc.)
2. Migrate the m-userinfo folder, but do not include the following files and folders because they are asset/environment specific:
   1. MediaBeacon_whitelist.xml
   2. MediaBeacon_sequence.xml
   3. MediaBeacon_scratch_basket.xml
   4. MediaBeacon_secret_key.xml
   5. MediaBeacon_selection_item.xml
   6. MediaBeacon_selection_info.xml
   7. MediaBeacon_selection_portals.xml
   8. MediaBeacon_contact_sheets.xml
   9. MediaBeacon_aprproval_folders.xml
   10. MediaBeacon_checkout.xml
   11. MediaBeacon_asset_feed_item.xml
   12. MediaBeacon_asset_feed.xml
   13. MediaBeacon_approval.xml
   14. MediaBeacon_rss.xml
   15. m-installers/
   16. m-metrics/
   17. m-uid
   18. m-Aspera/ (if present)
3. Replace all of the m-folders (m-userinfo, m-source, m-loadingdock, m-archive-userinfo) with the set you would like to use as a configuration basis.
4. Touch all the XML files and the Synonyms.txt file immediately inside of the m-userinfo folder (ex. with touch.exe from the unxutils project on https://sourceforge.net/) to update all the mod times.
5. Launch the MediaBeacon Core and other remote services.
6. Verify that all of the users, groups, Workspaces, etc. came in as expected.
