ARCVIEW

You can use the ARCVIEW utility to view Documaker archive files checked into the Documanage archive system. This utility only runs under 32-bit Windows.

Program names

You do not run this utility from the command line. Instead, you simply register this utility as the program you want to use to view Documanage files. To use this utility, follow these steps:

  1. Register the Documanage file extension (DPA) in Windows so the operating system will automatically use the ARCVIEW utility to view these files.
  2. Set the environment variable FSIPATH to point to the directory where the INI file for the AFEMAIN program is stored. Here is an example:

FSIPath = d:\dms1

Note The AFEMAIN program is the executable file for Documaker Desktop.
  1. Place a menu file, similar to the MEN.RES file used by Documaker Desktop, be in the directory specified by the FSIPath option. The name of the menu file should be ARCVIEW.RES.
Note You can edit this file to remove functionality you do not want to include.
  1. Edit the FILETYPES.INI file on the computer where the Documanage server runs. Add the DPA file extension to the list of file types to view with the ARCVIEW.EXE program. This causes the Documanage client to use the viewer registered in Windows instead of the default Documanage viewer.

You can now click on Documaker archive files in Windows Explorer to display them.
