Execute file operations can be used to select the desired file operation.

8.19.26.1  

Area: Read file 

LOG  
The IVM's LOG file contains information about the status, error occurrence and error recovery.
On selecting LOG, the PC file dialog box appears; this is the file on the PC where the file loaded from the IVM is to be stored.
If the Read: IVM->PC button is then pressed, the size of the LOG file is displayed. This can be used to reach conclusions concerning the transmission time. After confirmation of the transmission start, the transmission of the LOG file is carried out.
After the successful transmission, the IVM LOG data are stored under the name previously input.

STATISTIC  
The IVM's STATISTIC file contains information about the IVM's use distribution.
On selecting STATISTIC, the PC file dialog box appears; this is the file on the PC where the file loaded from the IVM is to be stored.
If the Read: IVM->PC button is then pressed, the size of the STATISTIC file is displayed. This can be used to reach conclusions concerning the transmission time. After confirmation of the transmission start, the transmission of the STATISTIC file is carried out.
After the successful transmission, the IVM statistic data are stored under the name previously entered and the data contained are displayed (see Maintenance | IVM: Execute file operations: Display Statistical Data).
As an alternative, the Load: File->PC button may also be used; then a statistic file that was saved earlier can be displayed once again (see (Maintenance | IVM: Execute file operations: Display Statistical Data).

TRACE  
The IVM's TRACE file contains information about error events. Upon demand, it is provided from the trace memory of the IVM for a specific time period.
On selecting TRACE, the PC file dialog box appears; this is the file on the PC where the file loaded from the IVM is to be stored. Then the trace information, such as date of the oldest and newest entries, is displayed.
In the Read trace: Date field, you can limit the time period of the trace data that are to be read by entering Start and End. The fields are filled with the IVM default values and may be changed only within this range. Nonconforming inputs, such as end date < start date, are rejected.
If the Read: IVM->PC button is then pressed, the size of the TRACE file is displayed. This can be used to reach conclusions concerning the transmission time. After confirmation of the transmission start, the transmission of the TRACE file is carried out.
After the successful transmission, the IVM trace data are stored under the name previously input.

BACKUP  
The Backup file contains data about mailboxes that should be saved. It is compiled by the IVM when the HiPath 3000 Manager requests it.
On selecting BACKUP, the PC file dialog box appears (this is the file on the PC where the file loaded from the IVM is to be stored), and the registered mailboxes are displayed in a list.
The BACKUP-/RESTORE Parameter option can be used to set whether the messages are to be included in the backup. You can define whether the data of all mailboxes or only these mailboxes should be saved. If these mailboxes was selected, the appropriate mailboxes can be marked in the list of all configured mailboxes.
If the Read: IVM->PC button is then pressed, the size of the Backup file is displayed. This can be used to reach conclusions concerning the transmission time. After confirmation of the transmission start, the transmission of the Backup file is carried out.
After the successful transmission of the IVM backup file, the IVM backup data are stored under the name previously input.

8.19.26.2  

Area: Write file 

RESTORE  
The Restore file is an extract from a Backup file and is compiled from such a backup file. If a Restore file is transferred to the IVM, the IVM accepts the data contained in it automatically.
On selecting RESTORE, the PC file dialog box opens. You can then enter the file on the PC from where the backed up data is to be restored. After the file name has been entered, the Assistant reads the mailbox information that was stored in it. The mailboxes contained are displayed in a list. By using the options in the BACKUP-/RESTORE parameter field, the information Greetings, Messages or Mailbox configuration that was contained in the backup file is now presented for selection. The highlight can be removed from data that are not to be a part of the restore.
The restore process type can be set with the overwrite option. In default mode, overwrite is not selected. In this case, the selected mailboxes are overwritten with the restore data or recreated. For the selected overwrite option, all mailboxes set up in the IVM are first deleted and then the selected restore data is written. You can define whether the data of all mailboxes or these mailboxes should be restored. If these mailboxes was selected, the appropriate mailboxes can be marked in the list of all configured mailboxes that are present in the backup file.
After pressing the button Write: PC->IVM, the volume of the data to be transferred is displayed. This can be used to reach conclusions concerning the transmission time. After confirmation of the transmission start, the transmission of the Restore data to the IVM is carried out.

UPGRADE  
The APS and language files are in XML format. They are verified with a checksum.
After selecting UPGRADE, "Open file" dialogs are offered for entering the file names of the APS file, Lang. - File 1, Lang. - File 2 and Lang. - File 3.
The input of the APS, language 1 and language 2 file is optional; either none, one, two or all three files can be given.
In addition, the time when the switchover to the new SW should be made can be set up. In the Switchover field, a fixed time can be entered by either selecting the Immed. check box or by using the Date and Time fields.
After pressing the button Write: PC->IVM, the following status information is displayed: the consistency of the selected APS and language files, errors in files and any error messages.
If no files have been selected in the "Open file" dialog, a display shows whether or not APS or language files that can be switched over to are already on the IVM.
If the selected files were consistent, the total amount of data that must be transferred to the IVM is displayed. After confirmation of the transmission start, the selected APS and language files are first transferred to the IVM (if selected). In connection with this, the IVM then switches the APS over at the selected time. If the selected time already lies in the past, the switchover is implemented immediately.

8.19.26.3  

Greetings, PC->IVM Delta 
This option shows the configured mailboxes in a listbox or, if the Greetings option is selected (versions 2 and 3), in another listbox. The required mailboxes can be selected and modified.
 •   IVM - Version 1:
Once you have selected a mailbox from the Select mailbox to store greeting listbox, the greetings are immediately downloaded from the IVM and displayed in the Greetings field.
 •   IVM - Version 2 and Version 3:
If you select the Greetings option (radio button) the Select mailbox to store greeting listbox appears next to the Select mailbox to store greeting listbox, where you can select several mailboxes.
The greetings can be modified in the Greetings field for the selected mailboxes. If no mailbox is selected in the Select mailbox to store greeting listbox, the greetings in the Greetings field are transferred to the mailboxes selected in the Select mailbox to store greeting listbox.
When you click Delete, "Standard" is displayed. In other words, the greeting is deleted on the IVM and the standard greeting is reset.
When a greeting is selected, it is automatically converted into the CCITT format in the background. This may take some time when large files are involved.
After the editing has been completed, only the modified data is transferred to the IVM on clicking the PC->IVM Delta button.

8.19.26.4  

Data transfer via IP-IVM with FTP 
If the conditions for fast FTP access to the IVM are satisfied, the option Data transfer via IP-IVM with FTP is enabled and can be selected. On selecting this option, the relevant IP address is displayed.
