Updating or Replacing Playback MMF Files
During system initialization, MPS configuration files set up the MMF files used by
applications to produce speech. MMF files have to be updated in the following
circumstances:
• a new vocabulary file on disk becomes available.
• a new vocabulary file is created with PeriStudio.
• one or more elements in the vocabulary have been updated (for example, a
message of the day or weather update application).
The entire MMF file can be updated (see Updating/Replacing a Playback MMF
Playback File on page 102.) or individual elements updated without interrupting
service (see Updating Elements in an Active Playback MMF File on page 107.)
Also, any or all identical MMFs across a LAN or WAN can be updated via the Zero
Administration for Prompts (ZAP) utility (see Synchronizing MMF Files Across
Nodes (ZAP Utility) on page 110.). This automated synchronization facility provides
a means of administering updates to and maintaining consistency among all active
instances of a particular MMF residing on different nodes of a network.
Updating/Replacing a Playback MMF Playback File
There are three methods for replacing MMF elements and files:
• The preferred on-line method ensures continuous customer service. This is used to
replace speech elements in the MMF. For additional information, see Replace a
Playback MultiMedia File (On-line) (Preferred) on page 103..
• The alternative on-line method also ensures continuous customer service, but
involves changing the VMM-MMF configuration file (if used). The system may
page from disk (access data from the hard drive) some elements that were
previously in Voice Data Memory. For additional information, see Replace a
Playback MultiMedia File (On-line) on page 104.
• The off-line method can cause applications to temporarily construct fragmented
phrases (i.e., for a brief time the application will not speak prompts located in the
file being updated), but does not involve any changes to the VMM-MMF
configuration files. For additional information, see Replace a Playback
MultiMedia File (Off-line) on page 106.
