Speech Engine Administration and Backup

Each Partner has their own administration and back up policy. Here, we highlight the most important SPE components to be administrated and backed up.

Administration​

It is strongly recommended to describe your own administration approach with the following components

  • SPE users (accounts) – Partner should maintain a list of SPE users (accounts). There should be only a few persons with an “admin” role. All others should be with the “user” role (one user does not see the content of other users). See the article User Accounts for details.
  • user.home – where the server stores the user data, see the article Home Directory for details
  • LOG files - log file rotation is configured in phxspe.properties, see the article and section "logging" Configuration File for details
  • SPE database administration – where the temporary results are stored, see the article Speech Engine Database for details

Backup​

System backup should be performed before any update or upgrade of the SPE. It is strongly recommended to back up mainly the following components of the system:

  • SPE database – the technology models, SPE user accounts, etc. are stored here
  • SPE configuration file (usually /settings/phxspe.properties)
  • technologies configuration file (usually /settings/ technologies.xml, or see phxspe.properties for details)
  • licensing file (license.dat, usually stored along to phxspe.exe, or see phxspe.properties for details)

Optimally, the partner should back-up also the following

  • entire SPE directory [optional], with all subdirectories (/bsapi/, etc.)
