M4_REPLAY_PARSE_START

# set
<module-index> M4_REPLAY_PARSE_START <filename>

Description

Command to start parsing an uploaded Capture File (in PCAP format) intended for use in a replay test scenario. The result of the parsing - if successful - is a Replay File (in BSON format) with the same name as the Capture File, which can be used as parameter to P4G_REPLAY_filename command. If parsing is unsuccessful, a Replay File is created containing the parse result. The M4_REPLAY_FILE_INFO_BSON command can be used to get information about a Replay File - including the parse result. PCAP Capture Files can be uploaded to the L47 chassis using FTP. The ‘root’ location of Capture Files uploaded manually by the user is /var/ftp/pub/replay/pcap/. Three subdirectories exist: cache/, user/ and xena/. cache / and xena/ is used by Vulcan Manager, and user/ is intended for manual upload and parsing of Capture Files. A similar directory structure is present for Replay Files generated by the parsing, and the ‘root’ location is /var/ftp/pub/replay/bson/.
