For background information about Recognition Server, see "About Recognition Server".
Start the Recognition Server from the list of programs on the Start menu.
Recognition Server starts in an active state if there are scheduled jobs. However, Recognition Server does not begin processing jobs for 30 seconds, allowing you to pause the server if you do not want it to process any scheduled jobs.
Activate or pause the server as needed.
Choose Pause on the Server menu to make changes to settings or batch jobs. Choose Activate on the Server menu to enable scheduled batch jobs to process.
This section covers the following topics:
See "About Recognition Server" for more information.
Follow these steps to specify a login user name and password so Recognition Server will start up without requiring login information.
If needed, pause the server by choosing Pause from the Server menu.
Choose General Settings from the Setup menu.
On the Login tab, select the Unattended Login field.
Enter a username and password for login.
If you selected Windows domain security as your security model, use the format \\domain\userID in the User ID field (for example, \\domain2\jdoe) to specify the domain along with the user name. For unattended login, the user must be added as an individual Capture user. See "Add User or Group Screen (Windows Domain Security)".
Activate the server by choosing Activate from the Server menu.
If needed, pause the server by choosing Pause from the Server menu.
Choose General Settings from the Setup menu.
On the Email tab, select the Send On Error field.
Specify email server and authorization settings.
Identify email recipients, separating multiple email addresses with a semicolon (;).
Click the Test Email button to send an email message that tests the settings.
Activate the server by choosing Activate from the Server menu.
Follow these steps to specify how Recognition Server activity is logged and the number of days log files are retained. You specify the log file path in the batch jobs options, as described in "Adding Batch Jobs".
If needed, pause the server by choosing Pause from the Server menu.
Choose General Settings from the Setup menu.
On the Log tab, complete log file settings.
Activate the server by choosing Activate from the Server menu.
Also see "Guidelines For Running Servers as Services".
If needed, pause the server by choosing Pause from the Server menu.
Choose General Settings from the Setup menu.
On the Login tab, specify unattended login options.
On the Services tab, specify the number of seconds (30-900) to wait for the service to shut down normally. Click OK.
Open the Services applet from Administrative Tools in the Control Panel.
Select the Oracle Document Capture Commit Service, right-click and choose Properties.
On the General tab, change the Startup Type to Automatic.
On the Properties Log On tab, configure a logon account for a user with rights to access network resources.
This is needed only if the service will access network resources, such as sending emails on error conditions or committing to a network location.

Note: Changes you make to a selected batch job affect all scheduled events that use the batch job. |
If needed, pause the server by choosing Pause from the Server menu.
Choose Batch Jobs from the Setup menu.
Click New.
A default batch job name of <Batch Job 1> displays in the Batch Jobs and Batch Job Name fields.
In the Batch Job Name field, enter a new name.
Select settings on the General and Processing tabs.
On the Bar Code Recognition tab, identify the bar code types (symbologies) you want the batch job to detect.
You can also detect patch codes.
On the Bar Codes tab, add bar code definitions.
On the Fields tab, set bar codes or other values to autopopulate Capture index fields.
On the Database Lookup tab, optionally configure a database lookup.
See "Using a Bar Code Value to Search a Database and Assign Index Values".
To test the batch job's settings, select the Test Mode field on the General tab.
This allows you to test bar code settings without committing or having to re-scan batches. You can examine the log file to observe server activity.
Click Save to save the batch job.
Follow these steps to delete batch jobs that are no longer used.
If needed, pause the server by choosing Pause from the Server menu.
Choose Batch Jobs from the Setup menu.
The Batch Job dialog box is displayed.
In the Batch Jobs dialog box, select the batch job you want to delete from the Batch Jobs field.
Click Delete to remove the batch job, then confirm the deletion.
A bar code definition identifies a bar code by its characteristics, such as length in characters. As bar codes are recognized, they are assigned to a bar code definition based on their data characteristics.
On the Bar Codes tab of the Batch Job Settings screen, click the tab's New button (not the screen's New button).
In the Description field, type a name for the bar code definition (for reference only).
In the Validation Rule field, specify how Recognition Server should validate the bar code: by its length, using a mask, or from a pick-list created in Capture Administration.
After you select a rule, additional value field are displayed (Length for length-type validation, Mask for mask-type validation and pick-list fields for pick-list validation).
In the value field, specify validation values for the selected type.
If specifying an input mask, enter a mask that describes the bar code value in the Mask field displayed. A recognized bar code will be assigned to this bar code definition if the value meets the requirements of the mask you specify. Available mask characters are listed in Table 9-1.
Note: Be sure not to set up bar codes that conflict, such as two bar codes with the same length in characters. If necessary, consider using a macro to use business logic to assign bar codes. |
Click the tab's Save button.
Follow these steps to use a database lookup previously created in Capture Administration in a Recognition Server batch job.
Create the database lookup profile in Capture Administration.
On the Bar Codes tab, add a bar code definition.
On the Database Lookup tab, choose Bar Code in the Using field.
In the Description field, select the bar code definition you created in step 2.
In the Database Lookup Profile field, select the database lookup profile you created in step 1.
In the Database Search Field, select a search field from those defined in the database lookup profile.
When the batch job runs, Recognition Server will search this field for a value that matches the bar code value. If a match is found, it will populate the other fields.
In the Database Lookup tab's lower portion, select other search options.
Test the database lookup.
Schedule and activate the batch job, then view its results in Index. Ensure that the specified index fields were populated correctly.
This section covers the following topics:
If needed, pause the server by choosing Pause from the Server menu.
Choose Schedule from the Server menu.
Click Schedule Event.
In the Event field, select the batch job or file cabinet you want the event to process.
