o
fileUrl - The URL of the file to be downloaded. The control system must support
parsing a full URL and downloads over HTTPS and SFTP: [http or sftp]:
//username:password@[hostname or ip]:port/path/file.
o
fileHashUrl - The URL of the hash file. This hash is downloaded first and then
compared to the previous hash that is cached locally on the control system.
n
If the hash in this file has changed, then the file defined in fileUrl will be
downloaded and installed.
n
If the has in this file has not changed, then the file defined in fileUrl will not
be downloaded and installed.
n
If no local hash cache exists, then the file will be downloaded.
o
The client must support parsing a full URL and downloads over HTTPS and SFTP:
[http or sftp]://username:password@[hostname or ip]:port/path/file.
o
fileType - Determines how the control system will handle the file once it is

n
"firmware" - Firmware update file (.puf or .zip)
n
"project" - Standard VTZ project file
n
"config" - Text file containing a list of console commands to be executed

Description of Manifest Parameters
ControllerHostName
This parameter indicates the host name of the control system. The controller must support wild
card characters "*" and "?", where "*" matches
x
number of characters and "?" matches exactly
one character. A "*" indicates that all controllers will act upon a manifest schema, while a partial
match can be used to limit the schema to a subset (for example, PRO-
??
).
Using these wildcard characters, the same manifest can be used across multiple control systems,
which means that all control systems will try to update the devices specified based on the details
in the manifest. While this method is recommended for Cresnet devices and devices on an
internal gateway (since it is controller-specific), it could cause issues with Ethernet devices, as
they can be accessed from multiple control systems.
