Cisco Cisco Content Acquirer Application Release Notes

To configure the real-time exporting of the transaction logs, do the following:

In the CDSM GUI, for an SE, choose Devices > Devices > Service Control > Transaction Logging. 
The Transaction Logging page is displayed.

For an SR, choose Devices > Devices > General Settings > Notification and Tracking > Transaction

The Wholesale feature introduces the ability to configure URL signing and validation at the delivery 
service level for all protocol engines, except Movie Streamer.

The Service Rule XML file has been modified to support delivery service-based URL signing, URL 
signature validation, and URL signature generation for Windows Media Streaming live requests (.asx). 
The CDSRules.xsd and the CDSM GUI validation have been updated to reflect this change. The Service 
Rule XML files that were created in previous releases are still valid in Release 3.1.0.

All Windows Media Streaming per-device service rules configured for URL signature and validation 
must be converted to the per-delivery service Service Rule XML file. This change only applies to the 
generate-url-signature and validate-url-signature service rule actions for Windows Media Streaming. 
The other service rule actions (allow, block, no-cache, redirect, refresh, replace, and rewrite) still use the 
per-device service rule configuration for Windows Media Streaming. See the 

 for more 

information.

Movie Streamer still uses the per-device configuration for all service rules. 

The following new attributes have been added to the Rule_Validate element:

key—Unique URL signature key that is up to 16 characters. For symmetric key URL validation.

public-key—URL where the public key file is located. For asymmetric key URL validation.

symmetric-key—Key (16 bytes) used for AES encryption of the signed URL. For asymmetric key 
URL validation.

Export Enable

Enables the automatic export of the selected transaction logs to the designated 
export server.

Monitors

Check the check boxes of the type of transaction logs to export. The All check 
box means all transaction logs are exported.

Export Server and 
Port

IP address and port number of the CDNM, CDN, or other export server that is 
to receive the transaction log files. A maximum of three export servers can be 
specified. The default port number is 9998.
