The following instructions show how to use ncdsPush in the crontab file of the 
DNCS. In this example, ncdsPush is configured to run every weekday at 1:00 am. 
1  As dncs user in an xterm window on the DNCS, type crontab -e and then press 

Enter. The crontab file opens for editing. 

2  Add an entry (on one line), similar to the following, to the crontab file: 

0 1 * * 1,2,3,4,5 [ -f /dvs/dncs/bin/dncsSetup ] && (. 
/dvs/dncs/bin/dncsSetup ; 
/dvs/dncs/Utilities/ncdsGen/ncdsPush -v "[URL]" ) > 
/dev/null

  

Example: 

0 1 * * 1,2,3,4,5 [ -f /dvs/dncs/bin/dncsSetup ] && (. 
/dvs/dncs/bin/dncsSetup ; 
/dvs/dncs/Utilities/ncdsGen/ncdsPush -v 
"http://10.252.194.37:7091" ) > /dev/null

  

3  Save and close the crontab file. 

 

The ncdsGen and ncdsPush utilities supports the -i option. This option allows the 
user to specify an optional controller ID to be embedded in the ControllerID 
attribute of the InputManifest.xml file. The controller ID represents the ID of the 
controller that synchronizes data between the NCDS and the DNCS, and is linked to 
all of the configuration information gathered from the input manifest file. 

Example:  The following example illustrates the use of the -i option with the 
ncdsGen utility. 

ncdsPush  -i  112  -v  http://< ipaddress:port >

 

Note: Use the IP address and port of the NCDS server.
