Managing servicesΒΆ
The global services database table contains the list of system services and their associated parameters. These parameters act as default values when creating or importing lineups. Since the imported files contain only the list of service names, the remaining lineup parameters are added from the global services table.
The global services table, lineup and bouquet tables provide additional information allowing each RPM encoder to respond appropriately when a service is invoked during scanning. The lineup table relates services with test parameters and methods. The bouquet table associates services with dial numbers. During scanning the lineup table points to service tests to perform, while the bouquet translates the services to channel numbers to dial for the particular areas.
There are three ways to create a service:
Manually adding a service using the Services menu
As a result of importing a lineup
As a result of importing a bouquet
