Import Existing MashZone Feeds
If you have data feeds defined in an existing MashZone Server, you can import them into Presto to use them in apps or workspace apps.
1. Export the MashZone data feeds that you want from your existing MashZone Server and omit permissions. See MashZone help for instructions on completing this step.
Important: | Do not export MashZone feeds that use connections to Terracotta BigMemory caches as a data source. These connections are not supported by the Integrated MashZone Server for Presto. Instead, connect to BigMemory caches using Presto Analytics. See Presto Analytics for links to more information. |
This creates an MZP export file (*.mzp) in the default export/import folder for your existing MashZone Server.
2. Copy the MZP export file you created in the previous step to the presto-install/mashzone/data/importexport folder.
3. Click Admin Console in the Presto Hub main menu. 4. Click MashZone to expand this section of the Administration menu.
5. Click Import/Export.
6. To import all MashZone feeds defined in any MZP export files in the presto-install/mashzone/data/importexport folder, click Import All and confirm this choice.
a. A validation status message is displayed. Click OK.
The import begins. You become the owner for all the MashZone feed(s) that are imported.
b. An import status message is displayed. Click OK.
7. To import specific MashZone feeds from the MZP export files in the presto-install/mashzone/data/importexport folder, click Import and:
a. If needed, change the File Format to see a list of specific export files.
b. Select the MZP export file containing the MashZone feeds you want to import.
c. Click OK.
d. A validation status message is displayed. Click OK.
The import begins. You become the owner for these MashZone feed(s).
e. An import status message is displayed. Click OK.
You can now find the
MashZone feeds in
Presto search results, open them, add views, create apps or add them to workspace apps. To allow other
Presto users to work with these feeds, you must also grant them permission to run these feeds.
See Grant Permission to Run Mashables, Mashups and Apps for instructions.
