How-to : Merging perproxy In-Buffers (RC5-64 and OGR)

[Polo]

Ottawanker asked for a method to do this and I want to share this How-to with you all. 🙂

There is way to "import" for a pproxy.

1) Set a fresh new pproxy on a machine with Internet access.
In the INI file of the pproxy you have to work in expertmode :


<<
[rc564]
logfilekeyblock=pproxyrc5
logfilekeyblockrotation=daily
minkeysready=20000 <-------
maxkeysready=20000 <------- the number of WUs you want to fetch
maxkeysdone=1
expertmode=1 <------ MANDATORY to bypass the 1000 WUs limitation during the first 30 min.
>>



2) Start the new pproxy and it will fetch the number of WUs you want.

3) Once done. Stop the new pproxy. You now have a fresh &quot;pprc5in.rc5&quot; buffer file.

4) Put on a floppy &quot;pprc5in.rc5&quot; and &quot;proxyper.exe&quot;.

5) On another machine of the lan you want to feed, start a new pproxy :
5.1) Create a new folder and copy &quot;pprc5in.rc5&quot; and &quot;proxyper&quot; in this new folder.
5.2) Modify the INI file this way :


<<
[KeyServer]
ipaddress=127.0.0.1 <---- The loop IP adress of the new pproxy (not necessary...)
port=2064
connectperiod=600
connectivity=offline <--- The new pproxy won't try to get new WUs (mandatory)
>>



5.3) Start the new pproxy and note the IP adress or the name of this machine. (ex:192.192.192.10)

6) Now, Stop your main pproxy.

7) Save your INI file proxyper.ini --> proxyper.bak (Do it always to be sure !)and modify the INI file this way (Or rename proxyper.mer --> proxyper.ini if proxyper.mer already exist):


<<
[KeyServer]
ipaddress=192.192.192.10 <---- the IP adress of the new pproxy
port=2064
connectperiod=600
connectivity=normal

[rc564]
logfilekeyblock=pproxyrc5
logfilekeyblockrotation=daily
minkeysready=40000 <------- the number of WUs you already have set + the number (or more)
maxkeysready=40000 <------- of WUs you want to fetch
maxkeysdone=1
expertmode=1 <------ MANDATORY to bypass the 1000 WUs limitation during the first 30 min.

>>



8) Restart your main proxy. It will fetch WUs from your new proxy immediatly ! 🙂
You've merge your 2 buffers ! 🙂

9) Once done, stop your main proxy.
9.1) Save proxyper.ini --> proxyper.mer (Only necessary the first time)
9.2) Rename proxyper.bak --> proxyper.ini in order to restore your configuration.

10 You can now restart your proxy with your new huge in buffer. 🙂
11 Stop the new pproxy.
This machine is now ready to accept a new &quot;pprc5in.rc5&quot; file to merge another buffer. 🙂

THE SAME PROCESS WORKS FOR OGR TOO. Just change RC5 by OGR. And you even can merge the two buffers pprc5in.rc5 and ppogrin.ogr in the same process. 🙂

It's not easy but it feasable ! 🙂

Feel free to add comments and add-on ! 🙂

Go TeAm, Go 😀 😎

yep. that does make sense.. time to make some scripts to do that tho.. 😉

thanks!
