More DNCS Enhancements: Improvements Make Familiar Tasks Easier
Overview
Several enhancements to existing features throughout the DNCS application make
common tasks even easier. This section provides an overview of these
enhancements.
Work with Service Groups from a Web-Based Interface
The existing Service Group user interface was ported to the new Web-based user
interface. You can still complete all of the same tasks you always have for service
groups. For more information on service groups, see the DNCS Online Help.

Add New BFS Sources and Sessions Without the Need for Special Handling of OSM Sessions
SR 4.0 treats the OSM session just like other BFS sessions rather than requiring its
own unique configuration. This change eliminates the special handling of OSM
when adding new BFS sources and sessions. As a result, the Configure Carousel
window is no longer needed and has been removed.
Modify Data Carousels in Fewer Steps, Less Time
The OSM carousel is now fully integrated into the BFS carousels. As a result, when
adding a new data carousel to the Program Allocation Table (PAT), you no longer
need to delete the OSM carousel and add it back to the PAT.
Eliminate Mirror QAMs for PSIP Configuration
The new Non-SA Digital Source Definition UI eliminates the need for mirror QAMs
in PSIP configuration. Refer to the Program and System Information Protocol
Configuration for System Releases 2.5, 3.5, and 4.0 technical bulletin for details.
