To activate a configuration:
1. On the System menu, click Activation Manager....
The Activation Manager dialog box is displayed.
2. In the list, select the configuration you want to activate.
3. Click Activate.
A message box is displayed.
4. Click OK.
The Activate Configuration dialog box is displayed.
5. If appropriate, click to check Force activation for all Operator Clients. Each
Operator Client workstation is automatically restarted to activate the new configuration.
The user cannot refuse the new configuration.
If Force activation for all Operator Clients is not checked, on each Operator Client
workstation a dialog box appears for some seconds. The user can refuse or accept the
new configuration. The dialog box is closed after a few seconds without user interaction.
In this case the new configuration is not accepted.
Exporting configuration data
Main window
You can export the device configuration data of Bosch VMS in a .zip file. This .zip file contains
the database file (Export.bvms) and the user data (.dat file).
You can use these files for restoring a system configuration that has been exported before on
the same (Enterprise) Management Server or for importing it on another (Enterprise)
Management Server. The user data file cannot be imported but you can use it to manually
restore the user configuration.
To export configuration data:
1. On the System menu, click Export Configuration....
The Export Configuration File dialog box is displayed.
Note: If your current working copy configuration is not activated (
is active), you
export this working copy and not the activated configuration.
2. Click Save.
3. Enter a filename.
The current configuration is exported. A .zip file with database and user data is created.
Importing configuration data
Main window
The following use cases are covered:
– Importing a configuration that has been exported (backup has been performed) before on
the same server
– Importing a configuration template that has been prepared and exported on another
server
– Importing the configuration of an earlier Bosch VMS version.
