The following elements are included in the <channel-switch> tag.
Table A.3: Elements in the <channel-switch> Tag
Element Description
<application-type> Is a hexadecimal GUID signifying the application or tool that is running on the
Windows Server platform and communicating via this active channel. It is to be
used to discern the different interaction modes. During the Windows GUI-mode
Setup phase, the following GUIDs identify the specific types of data
being emitted.
• Debug Log (5ED3BAC7-A2F9-4E45-9875-B259EA3F291F)
• Error Log (773D2759-19B8-4D6E-8045-26BF38402252)
• Action Log (D37C67BA-89E7-44BA-AE5A-112C6806B0DD)
During nominal Windows Server operations, the following GUIDs may
be expected.
• SAC (63D02270-8AA4-11D5-BCCF-806D6172696F)
• CMD (63D02271-8AA4-11D5-BCCF-00B0D014A2D0)
NOTE: These GUIDs are constant and should not be confused with those
provided through the <guid> tag.
<description> Is the user-friendly name of the active channel. For the GUI-Mode Setup tool
they are,
• Debug Log (Setup tracing log)
• Error Log (Setup errors log)
• Action Log (Setup actions log)
For the Windows Server, they are,
• SAC (Special Administration Console)
• CMD (Command Prompt)
<guid> Is a hexadecimal GUID that identifies a specific instance of a channel. During a
life-span of a Windows Server (between any two system boots), there is a total
of 10 channels being allocated, one of those may be a GUID for each of the
following channel types.
• GUI-Mode Setup Debug Log
• GUI-Mode Setup Error Log
• GUI-Mode Setup Action Log
•SAC
The remaining GUIDs are of the CMD channel type. For example, during
Windows setup, there are 3 GUIDs assigned to Setup, 1 to SAC and the
remaining 6 to CMD. However, during normal Windows operations, there is 1
GUID assigned to SAC and the remaining 9 to CMD.
These GUIDs are created a new for each instance of channels, and should not
be confused with the constant GUIDs provided via the <application-type> tag
listed previously.
