Many years ago, in a place far, far, away

Someone like myself simply extracted the source and destination labels
from an SAS router/switcher, and wrote a script to update the MySQL
database on a Rivendell system directly.  That proved a lot more
efficient than hand-entering names by opening each input and output in
RDAdmin.

You can of course edit/tweak the SAS short names to full-length
Rivendell labels in the process, if that suits your needs.

Your mileage may vary.

[RDD] Switcher labels for SAS router

[Michael Barnes]

I haven't fooled with Rivendell in years, so I never remember how to do
things. We have an SAS 32KD switcher in our system and do a bunch of
switching with RDCatch.  We've added a bunch of new sources and
destinations to the SAS.  In RDCatch, I can use the port numbers to set up
a switching event, but the names don't show up with the current SAS data.
I believe there is some way Rivendell can read the SAS database to update
the list.  I know I can go in through RDAdmin and edit the host and
configure switcher inputs and outputs, but that gets real tedious when you
have hundreds of changes to make.

Could someone please refresh my memory on how to update the Rivendell
database with the port labels from SAS?

Thanks,
Michael
