views, System Administrator provides the environment for configuring and editing these settings.
All initial information available in System Administrator is set during the installation of
Interplay MAM.
Note that “system settings” are set in Interplay MAM Control Center during system installation.
Although they can be edited in Interplay MAM System Administrator, Avid recommends editing
them in MAM Control Center. See
“Understanding System Settings” on page 31.
The configuration information of Interplay MAM is organized as a tree. Profiles are at the top
level. They include an arbitrary number of sections and subsections. These, in turn, have an
arbitrary number of settings that contain keys, or Key-Value pairs.
System Administrator allows you to add, edit, and delete services and interfaces with their
corresponding URLs and provides a tool for the management of user data by uploading or
downloading system-relevant information.
It enables you to do the following:
• Create, edit, and delete profiles
• Create, edit, and delete the sections of a profile
Prerequisites for Using System Administrator

Navigation Between and Within Views
To navigate between and within views, consider the following options.
Navigation Within the View
In the Configuration view, the profile selection list, the sections pane and the settings pane
function as a navigation tree: Selecting an entry in the profile list loads the information for the
selected profile in the other panes of the view - for example: If you select the profile
“LockManager” in the profile list, the Sections pane displays a list of sections and subsections of
the profile “LockManager”. The Settings pane displays the keys and values for the “DB” section,
the top entry in the Sections for Profile Lock Manager list. You can now click another section or
subsection in the list to display the keys and values for the corresponding entry.
You can use the keyboard keys to navigate within the Naming Services view: Press a character
on the keyboard to jump to the first Instance starting with this character.
Navigation Between Views
To navigate between the Configuration, Naming Services, and User Data views, simply click the
corresponding tabs.
You can directly jump from a profile selected in the Configuration view to the corresponding
instance in the Naming Services view: If you click the Go to Naming Entries button in the
Configuration view, the Naming Services view opens with the corresponding instance selected.
Quitting System Administrator
When you are finished using System Administrator quit the application.
To quit the application:
t Click X in the System Administrator tab.
System Administrator quits, but both Interplay MAM Control Center and Interplay MAM
Administrator continue to run. You can resume working in both applications or quit.
2 Working with the Configuration View
The default view visible upon starting System Administrator is the Configuration view. It
supplies access to configuration settings of the Interplay MAM backend and client components.

After changing the configuration of a component, you must refresh the component’s
configuration cache to make the changes become effective. See
“Refreshing the Configuration”
on page 44.
The following topics provide information about the options of the Configuration view:
•
Layout of the Configuration View
• Managing Profiles
• Managing Sections
• Managing Settings
Layout of the Configuration View
The Configuration view is arranged in three panes that provide information and controls to
manage profiles and elements of profiles. The following illustration and table describe the layout
of the Configuration view.

Correct Sequence
The Configuration view provides all the necessary information about the configuration settings
of Interplay MAM backend and client components, and enables you to create the components
necessary for the modeling of a new configuration. However, as you put these components
together, you must keep the following sequence in mind:
1. Create a profile using the Profiles pane.
2. Add sections to the profile using the Sections pane.
3. Add settings to each section using the Settings pane.
Managing Profiles
You can create and edit profiles at the top level of the organizational structure of the
Configuration view. The initial installation of Interplay MAM includes a comprehensive set of
profiles.
Note that services that can be installed more than once can have more than one configuration
profile: a “shared” profile containing settings that are equal for the service and all of its instances
(for example, VideoAnalysis) and a profile for each instance containing instance-specific
settings (for example, VideoAnalysisService_1).
3 Copy Profile/Section/Setting Copies profiles/sections/settings.
4 Delete Profile/Section/Setting Deletes profiles/sections/settings.
5 Import Profile Imports profiles.
6 Export Profile Exports the selected profile.
7 Set Log Level for Multiple Components Changes the log level for several components at the same
time. See
“Changing the Log Level for Multiple
Components” on page 42
.
8 Go to Naming Entries Opens the Naming Services view and selects the Instance
of the component whose profile is selected in the
Configuration view. See
“Navigation Between and
Within Views” on page 15
.
9 Refresh Component Configuration Refreshes the configuration of a component. See
“Refreshing the Configuration” on page 44.
10 Edit Setting Edits the properties of the selected setting.
