Publishing points that point to remote sources

The following table describes the migration of a publishing point that points to a remote server station in version 4.1 to this version.

This version 4.1 configuration	Migrates to
Unicast publishing point pointing to a remote server station Example: Publishing point name: PubPoint Path: msbd://remote_server/station	Broadcast publishing point Example: Publishing point name: PubPoint Path: http://remote_server/station

If the publishing point path in version 4.1 uses the HTTP or MSBD protocol to point to an encoder or station service on a remote server, a broadcast publishing point is created using the existing name. If the MSBD protocol is used, it is changed to HTTP during the migration.

The following table describes the migration of a publishing point that points to a remote encoder.

This version 4.1 configuration	Migrates to
Unicast publishing point pointing to a remote encoder Example: Publishing point name: PubPoint Path: msbd://remote_encoder:1000	Broadcast publishing point Example: Publishing point name: PubPoint Path: http://remote_encoder:1000

Note that the MSBD protocol is changed to HTTP as in the previous table.

The upgrade process includes only the migration of Windows Media Services. Any remote servers and encoders must be reconfigured manually to use the HTTP protocol.
