14 Set Up the Content Capture Client

You need the Content Capture Client if it's your job to scan and import image and non-image, electronic and physical documents into Content Capture for automated processing. You begin with downloading the client installer from the Oracle Content Management web interface to your local computer and then run the installer. To access the Content Capture Client once it's installed on your computer, you'll need the client URL, your user name, and password.

Here are the main tasks you do to set up the Content Capture Client:

Before You Begin

You should have your login information for Oracle Content Management handy. It’s in a welcome email that you received. If you don’t have that or can’t remember, contact your Oracle Content Management system administrator.

System Requirements

The Content Capture Client is a Java application supported on those versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system on which JDK/JRE 8 is supported. See Oracle JDK 8 and JRE 8 Certified System Configurations. The required Java libraries come packaged with the Content Capture Client.

Download the Content Capture Client

To download the Content Capture Client:
  1. Log in to the Oracle Content Management web interface.
  2. From the profile menu on the top right, choose Download Apps.
  3. On the Download Apps page, under Oracle Capture for Windows, click Download to download the Content Capture Client.

Install the Content Capture Client

To install the Content Capture Client:
  1. On your local computer, go to the directory in which you downloaded the Content Capture Client installer.
  2. Double-click the installer file to begin the installation.
    After the installation is complete, you'll see an Oracle Content Capture Client shortcut icon on your desktop. The client is also accessible from the Programs menu.

Start the Content Capture Client

To ensure that the Content Capture Client login dialog box renders correctly, you must add Oracle Content Management and Content Capture URLs as trusted sites in Internet Explorer's Internet Options via the Trusted sites dialog box.

To start the Content Capture Client:
  1. Go to the Programs menu, choose Oracle and then click Oracle Content Capture Client. You can also launch the client via its shortcut icon on your desktop.
  2. In the Oracle Content Capture dialog, in the Server field, enter the URL of the Oracle Content Management instance you want to connect to.
  3. To connect via a network proxy, select the Connect via Network Proxy check box. This option enables the Content Capture Client to use the system-configured proxy settings if the proxy server doesn't require authentication.
  4. Click Sign In.
  5. Enter your user name and password on the login page and then click Sign In.
  6. In the Open Oracle Content Capture Client? pop-up, click Open Oracle Content Capture Client. If this pop-up doesn't show for you, check your browser settings. You can select the Always allow <your client instance> to open links of this type in the associated app check box to launch your Content Capture Client without seeking your permission in the future.
