Server Components

The server stores documents and their associated file, folder, and document data, making them available to clients. Typically, the Document Collector and the document input directory are also set up on the server. The management console is installed on the server as well.

Document Collector

The Document Collector is integrated into the server. It automatically and rule-based imports documents from a specified directory structure (document input directory) into STP Documents at defined intervals.

The documents are

  • placed in the inbox if tasks are assigned to them
  • directly assigned to files or folders and tagged.

OCR

The server can extract full text from formats supported by the OCR component for full-text search in STP Documents. If you want to use the OCR function, you need to purchase a license from the manufacturer of the OCR component. Please contact Transym directly (http://www.transym.com).

The following settings are necessary in the server's configuration file STP.Ecm.Remoting Server.exe.config:

<add key="OCREngine" value="TOCR"></add>

<add key="OCREngineNumberOfThreads" value="1"></add>.

The parameters for text recognition can be configured via the server's installation program.


Note
The number of threads must not exceed the number of available TOCR licenses.


Management Console

License management is handled in the management console. Updates to a new version of STP Documents and the application of patches and service packs are also performed in the management console.

License Management

The license manager in the management console manages the software licenses for STP Documents and, if applicable, winsolvenz.p4.

Database Tool

The database tool updates the STP Documents database to match the server version.

Document Input Directory

A specified directory structure on the server. The Document Collector automatically and rule-based imports documents from this directory structure (document input directory) into STP Documents at defined intervals. The rules for importing documents are stored in processing templates. The import and processing are handled by the various directory interpreters of the Document Collector.

Directory Interpreter

You can assign a directory interpreter to each subdirectory in the document input folder. The interpreter evaluates the folder's content and imports the documents in the folder into STP Documents using the processing templates. The following directory interpreters are available in the Document Collector:

  • Kofax Interpreter

    This interpreter imports scanned documents.

  • STP Directory Interpreter

    This interpreter imports all documents in a folder and assigns them to files and folders based on the processing template stored in the respective folder, adding document data.

  • STP Interpreter

    This interpreter is largely similar to the STP Directory Interpreter, but individual files can be selected for import.

  • p4 BarCode Interpreter

    This interpreter imports scanned winsolvenz.p4 documents with a barcode created by winsolvenz.p4.

Processing Template

Processing templates specify for each folder in the document input the file data, folder data, document data, access rights, tasks, task lists, and notes that the chosen interpreter assigns to each imported document from the directory.
