Download and Install the WebCenter Forms Recognition Agent

WebCenter Form Recognition and the WFR agent must be installed on the same computer because the agent needs access to the file system to fetch the exported content. Make sure that JDK 1.8 or higher is also installed. The WFR agent requires a database schema to track its activity. For convenience, you can choose to use the same database schema that was used for WFR itself. To be able to use the WFR agent, WFR APIs and the Content Capture instance must also be configured.

Note:

Before upgrading to a new version from any previous version which was released before March 2022, you must first take a backup of the config folder and any other log files that you wish to preserve.

To install the WFR Agent:
  1. Log in to the Oracle Content Management web interface and click Capture in the left navigation panel (under Administration).
  2. On the Capture Procedures page, under Downloads, click Oracle WebCenter Forms Recognition Agent to download the setup file to your local computer.
  3. Run the setup file and complete the installation steps.
  4. Navigate to the location where the agent is installed: C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Oracle WebCenter Forms Recognition Agent.
  5. To create a database schema for the WFR Agent, execute the createDBSchema.bat file as administrator and complete the steps.
  6. To start the WFR Agent, run the startWFRAgent.bat file as administrator.
Before you configure the WFR Agent, make sure you create an IDCS application for the agent or an IAM application if your IDCS stripes have been migrated to IAM identity domains.
