MXE 3500 Reporting

Hi,
We have an MXE3500 installed. There is a reporting requirement and the focus is on 3 prime areas -
(1) How much activity is flowing through the service
-Total number of Jobs per day
- total processing hours per day
(ii) What is the Peak traffic profile
- Peak volume of jobs at any point during the day
- Maximum wait time for a job during the day
(iii) Service Outages
-Number of service outages during the day
-Number of job failures during the day
I looked the Reporting eature available on the MXE webui (Job Custom Report & Task Custom Report). ITs not giving the desired results(Or maybe I dont understand it correctly). Can anyone suggest a way I can pull a report which will give me the above details? Many thanks
Zeeshan

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for the update..
We are trying to integrate TCS and SNS with MXE.
We are refering the below document from SNS with MXE..
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/mxe/3500/sw/3_x/3_3/integration/note/integ_mxe33_sns.html
and the below document for TCS with MXE.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/mxe/3500/sw/3_x/3_4/cxs_solution/configuration/guide/cxs_config_guide.html
We have tried to upload one video in SNS and its went to MXE for convertion, MXE has converted this video successfully and sent this video to SNS. This is working without any issues.
But we are trying with TCS, there we are facing one issue.
TCS is recording video and sending it to MXE, we can see this particular video in Job status monitor in MXE but its not converting succesfully, the job status is showing "fail" as a status.
What will be the issue and how we should troubleshoot?
Regards,
Nishant

Cisco MXE 3500 Cluster Help

Hello
i need help for my Cisco MXE cluster . I have already installed RM license and RN licesnses and all are installed successfully. I need to know what are the next steps?. I have 1 X RM and 4 X RM , how can i add my 4 X RN to my cluster to can see RM successfully?.
Thank you

Hello Mohamed,
The main step needed after licenses are properly applied is to add each RN as a host in the RM GUI Administration.
You can actually follow the full MXE configuration tasks as documented at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/mxe/3500/sw/3_x/3_3/admin/guide/tasks.html
This document is also valid for standalone deployments, but you will notice that any extra step or different step needed in clustered deployment will be added in a note starting like:
"Note In a clustered deployment..."
I hope this helps,
Marco

You were probably trying to define multiple domain indexes on the same column using identical indextypes. How many indexes you have on table_colum?

Convert MXE 3500 3.3.2 RM to 3.3.2 RN

Hello,
all the docs talk about how to convert a RM to a RN via upgrade on the MXE 3500. how do i convert a RM to RN if i am already on the latest version of firmware? thanks!

USB3.0 uses a physically different cable, and interface board. To answer your question, No. Your best bet is to buy another complete external hard drive, or dismantle yours and put it in something like a Vantec Nexstar USB3.0 enclosure.

Can MXE 3500 stream MPEG2 directly to DMP4310?

I have a TCS intergrated with MXE 3500. I'm trying to use the IPstream Distribution profile to stream MPEG2 to DMP4310.
I utilize the following encoder in MXE 3500 ( H.264 and MPEG), use the following Distribution - IPStream (multicast IP address) and Output (MPG). Out Distriburion is working well, except the IPStream Distribution to DMP4310 is not working. I tested the multicast with my existing AS8100 to make sure it not the multicast setup.
Anybody has the same set up in your enviroment?
Many thanks.

This thread is Answered.
Create a job profile and use H264 Encoder -IP_Streaming, create a distribution profile under IP_Stream (multicast IP and port)
Test IP capture by installing VLC in MXE3500.MXE3500 cannot capture multicast TS streaming,so I decided to run a TCS Unicast Streaming.
Lastly, create a live event.
Run VLC, open network stream, enter udp://@MulticastIPAddress:port
There you go.....

MXE 3500 v3.3 Host ID changed

Hi,
I am working with MXE 3500 v3.3. Earlier I have installed the server and after that I have received the license file base on the "HOST ID" from cisco. But I have to install the server again and now I have noticed that the "HOST ID" has been changed. So the earlier license file shows invalid for the same server. I can not request for the license file to cisco again as it has the same PAK. So please help me, if there is any work around to install the license on the same server.

I had the same issue after upgrading from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 and changing my main SSL cert.
The solution was to make sure the correct cert was listed in:
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
as well as:
/etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif
It looks as though the slapd.conf file gets updated properly when you select an SSL cert in the Server Admin app, but the cn=config.ldif does not. That is the one that was hanging my server up.
Hope this helps!

MXE 3500 initial config

I was wondering if it is possible to do initial setup of the TCP\IP configuratino of the system from the CIMC interface. I am not seeing that capability. Most likely because the CIMC is hitting the hypervisor and not the windows server. It looks like alot of the configuration is on the Windows server. I just dont have console access right now and need to get this initially configured to update and ship.

MXE 3500 - Job submission prefilter errors

Hi - We have recently installed an MXE3500 for our customer, all licenses have been uploaded and services are started.
When we try to submit a test job we recieve an error relating to the ECS_NOWORKER - there is no prefilter task.
I have uploaded a screenshot of the error to the case.
I also noticed that all the health status of the MXE reports all workers as being offline. I have attached a screenshot of this error also.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ah - managed to resolve it, the windows host name defaults to "MXE3500" (it doesnt take the appliance hostname).
This needs to be changed to match the MxeUI hostname defined in the web interface.

MXE 3500-Unable to communicate with the ECS.

Hi,
In one of my customer locations where we installed a new MXE and license applied, when i login to the MXE web interface i am getting as "Unable to communicate with ECS on [local host:3501]". as shown in attached screen capture named as mxe1
i checked the host tab under the Administration and there also another error as" Media Experience Engine Application Error has Occured" is showing
as shown in attached screen capture named as mxe2.
the ECS is running in the server services.
kindly advice what action should i take to rectify this. or should i do some other settings other than the license applying on a fresh server.
kindly advice as early as possible.

Hi Peter,
It seems that you get those error when the license on the box isn't correct.
Can you double check that the license has been correctly generated from the MXE first interface Mac address?
To view the mac address of your interfsces, you can use the "netstat -r" command.

The difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500

Good day! Could someone explain me what's the difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500? Why do I need to obtain two these devices for sorting out my tasks? I want to understand gist of the first and the second devices.

In addition to what Jonathan posted above, here is a Capture Transform Share Solution Guide that goes over a little bit of what the TCS and MXE are and some possible deployment scenarios.
In short, TCS is used to record video conferences or lectures that can be streamed on demand or live using various streaming or distribution methods. One such distribution method is using the MXE 3500 to ingest the recordings from TCS and convert them to different media types and add in-video content such as logos etc. However, from the MXE, you can't send the video back to the TCS for viewing, you'd need to send that off to another viewing portal such as Show and Share.

Cisco MXE Problem

Hello all
i need help for my MXE Cluster , i have 5 X MXE 3500 and i need to do cluster between the 5 X MXE3500. I faced problems ( 2 of MXEs have 2 X VM and other 3 X MXE have 3 X VM (Virtual machines) , i need to know the difference between then and i need to get any user name & password to access MXE Web ui and how can i select Resource Manager between 5.
Thanks

If you dont want the watermark to appear then you need to go to your job profile in MXE for the SnS conversion and modify the 'pre-processor' to not add watermarks. When you say 'my new folder not shown' the MXE job will also have a distribution or Delivery profile , which is where you would specify where the output would go. You really need to log into the mxeui (http://yourserver/mxeui) and take a look at the job profile that is being used to convert, pre process and deliver your files - the answers to your questions will be there i think

Problems with MXE

Yesterday I logged into one of our MXE 3500 and was greated with the following error.Unable to communicate with the ECS on [localhost:3501] To my knowledge nothing has been done to the server as I was the last person that it shows logged in and I did not make any changes. Does anyone have any suggestions or should I escalate this to the TAC?Thanks,David

SnS and MXE3500 throwing encoding error when uploading MP4

I have a user uploading an MP4 File that was encoded as MPEG-4 Base Media /Version 2. [email protected] (MediaInfo file attached).
The MXE fails with the following error
Prefilter failed: Error [5]:
Input file error detected
(Server is unable to open input file "c:\dms\input\02f95d4e-b3e3-454a-931c-a4192b2383fd_bpaandmeaningfuluse.mp4". Unsupported input file format.)
[EC_COMPLETED] Task Execution 1052 is now complete. Reason = Failed.
We can upload other MP4 files without issue. I think this video comes from camtasia.
Any ideas on how we can resolve this issue w/o re-encoding the file?
Thanks
RB
