Managing Updates
Overview
Introduction
The TSBroadcaster allows you to update files and directories in application sets
while they are being played out.
Types of Updates
Two types of updates are supported:
•
•
Polled updates. The TSBroadcaster reads data from a specified URL and copies the
data found at the URL to the specified location in the file system of an application
set. The TSBroadcaster will continue to poll the URL at the specified rate, and it
will automatically update the specified location whenever it detects a change in
the data from the URL. The TSBroadcaster starts monitoring polled updates a
short time before an application set is due to be broadcast. This type of update
allows the current data to be in place when the application launches.
•
On-demand updates. The TSBroadcaster provides a command interface to create
and delete files and directories in the file system of an application set, and also to
update files and directories with new content.
The type of update you should select for an application depends on the nature of the
updates, the requirements for response time, the number of elements being updated,
and the processing infrastructure available for producing updates.
In both polled and on-demand updates, updated content is handled differently for
In both polled and on-demand updates, updated content is handled differently for
files and directories as follows:
•
•
If the target of the update is a file, the TSBroadcaster reads the content from the
URL and uses it to replace the existing content of the file.
•
If the target of the update is a directory, the URL must contain data in a zip
archive format. The TSBroadcaster assumes that the content read from the URL is
a zip archive, and unzips the content to obtain a file system. The TSBroadcaster
then replaces the entire sub-tree below the target directory with the file system
from the zip archive in a single operation.
