6. XML Converter

Recording Service includes an application to convert a legacy XML configuration to the current XML configuration format when possible. It can convert a recording XML configuration, as well as a replay XML configuration.

6.1. Running the XML converter

XML Converter runs as a separate application. The script to run the executable is in <NDDSHOME>/bin. (See Section 1.3 for the path to NDDSHOME.)

rtixmlconverter record|replay [options]

If you are using features that are not available in Recording Service, you will see warnings such as:

Warning: Recording Service does not currently support 'verbosity' in
XML. However, you can specify -verbosity at the command-line.
