Modifying Metering Client Settings Using the Command Line

To modify metering client settings using the command line:

2. Use the meteringcfg.com command with the any of the following parameters to modify client metering settings, as required:

   Tip:  For more information on these client settings, see About Hummingbird Metering Client Settings.

meteringcfg.com ServerURL=MeteringServerURL RetryCount=NumberofRetries RetryInterval=LengthofInterval

where:

1. • MeteringServerURL is the location of the metering server.

     Note:

     Specify this information only if you want to redirect client requests to a metering server other than the current one (http://machine2/Metering/HumMetering.hmcm, where machine2 is the name of the new metering server). You must specify a valid metering URL, as communication between the metering server and client is established through this path. Otherwise, communication is lost and any modifications do no take effect. You may need to contact your administrator for the correct URL of the metering server.

   • NumberofRetries is the number of times the metering client resends update information to the metering server if unsuccessful on the first try.
   • LengthofInterval is the number of minutes the metering client waits before resending the update information.

For example:

Meteringcfg.com ServerURL=http://TorTest/Metering/HumMetering.hmcm RetryCount=10 RetryInterval=15

Note:

A graphical and command line version of Media Location Manager is provided with installation.
