Export the system collection and Index Definition document

Together the system collection and the Index Definition document provide all the configuration information typically required for troubleshooting.

This information is helpful to diagnose application errors in the IXIA CCMS Desktop. Therefore, attaching a zip file of the collection and Index Definition document to the OTRS ticket is essential.

Much of the information that IXIA CCMS Customer Support requires can be obtained automatically via Help > Report CCMS Issue. If this process does not work, the following procedure covers how to provide the same information manually:

To export the system collection and Index Definition document:

  1. Click the TEXTML Administration shortcut on the toolbar to open the TEXTML Administration perspective or take the following actions:
    1. Select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other
    2. Click TEXTML Administration.
    3. Click Open.
  2. In the TEXTML Administration view, double-click the server.
  3. If your server is not in the view, add it by taking the following actions:
    1. To find the server name, click Window > Preferences and select IXIA CCMS.
      In the TEXTML Server Connection section, the server name is the Hostname.
    2. Copy the Hostname and close the Preferences window.
    3. In the TEXTML Administration view, right-click and select Add Server.
    4. In the Server field, enter the server name.
      The Port field fills automatically. If it does not and you need the port number, you can find it in the same place as the server name in the Preferences window.
    5. Click OK.
  4. When the Connect as dialog opens, type your username and password and click OK.
  5. Double-click the name of your Content Store to open a connection to it.
  6. Expand the Repository collection and right-click the system collection.
  7. Click Export.
  8. In the Destination folder box, type a path to where you want to save the information or click Browse to choose a location.
  9. Under Export options, select the IndexDefinition checkbox to include the Index Definition document in the export.

    Note: IXIA CCMS Customer Support recommends waiting a couple of minutes before copying the exported content, as it may take this amount of time for the system to deliver all of it.
  10. Click OK.
