Overview

Info Input Solution is a web-based scanning software solution that enables users to scan docu-

ments from any remote location and deliver the captured information to an Enterprise Content

Management system, for storage or further processing.

New Features

This section provides information on the new features in v3.0

Version 3.0 introduces a new User Interface design, which improves the user experience.

Changes include:

o Modernized look and feel, with user customizable application theme and colors.

o Improved usability on tablet computers and other touchscreen devices.

Multi-lingual support:

o The User and Administration application interface is available in the following lan-

guages: English, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), German and Spanish.

o Upgraded the Tesseract OCR Engine to v3.02 for multiple language support.

o Enhanced Nuance PDF Text integration with OCR language selection.

o Mnemonics added for main toolbar buttons, Batch menu and Tools & Options menu.

Client:

o Server Administration capability added to the Client. It is now possible to modify the

Server parameters from the Client.

Batch Management:

o Asynchronous image download mechanism and enhanced error handling, when opening

a batch.

o The Server is notified when a new batch is created, and the batch is available in Batch

Manager before the batch gets uploaded to the Server.

o When downloading a large size image over a slow network, the user is allowed to

close/suspend/delete the batch, or to delete the page, without waiting for the down-

load to be completed.

o Added functionality for Batch "Discard changes" operation; allows the user to discard

any changes made to the currently open batch and suspend it.

Job Administration:

o Added job level script method that allows for customized separation logic. Additional

functionality for blank page detection / deletion during scanning.

o The detected list of barcodes in a scanned page is sorted in display order, left-to-right

and top-to-bottom.

o Added limits to job name (60 chars), batch name (255 chars) and batch description

(1000 chars).

o Added support for the "batch." and "folder." prefixes in variable expressions.

Export Server:

o The Release Server system component is now named Export Server, to better describe

the extended functionality.


o Added a new Export Destination, named File / folder Move, for moving or renaming a

file / folder within a file system.

o Added CSV template for Disk Export Destination Template.

Indexing:

o Removed SHORT and FLOAT field types: existing field types are mapped to INTEGER

and DOUBLE.

o Field type DATE is not allowed to have an empty (undefined) format.

o New Javascript method added in indexing script, which intercepts all key-presses in the

Indexing pane and can be used for implementation of hotkeys during Indexing.

o Indexing Script objects modified, to allow a script to assign field values to nodes other

than the current one (being indexed).

Annotations:

o Enhancement for using user-defined and language-specific Annotation images.

o Added support for obfuscation for Annotation images.

Remote Procedure Call mechanism enhancement:

o The Client-Server RPC mechanism enables code executing on the Client to invoke

code executing on the Server. Added object RpcServiceFactory to enable custom

client-side Java code to use the mechanism.

User Management:

o User Authentication against Active Directory.

o User, Group and License Group have been added to the public model, and have provid-

ed access to these objects for scripting.

Administration Tool:

o The Identification Information panel (DistinguishedNamePanel) has been simplified.

Fixed Issues

Fixed Issues in v3.0.2-4970C

Client:

o Login helpers not working in applet mode.

o The checkbox to Use Windows Login Credentials is not remembered at next login.

o The Batch Upload monitoring display does not refresh when hiding a column.

Job Setup:

o Cannot save duplicated Document Class with Index zone in Form Type.

o NPE when using JIDE filter and publishing a Job.

Scripting

o When DbServer and DbClient are used from anonymous JS functions, they are not

converted to JS arrays (they remain Java ArrayList).


Fixed Issues in v3.0.1-4941C

Indexing:

o NPE when accessing index field values from a different index node level, using in-

dex script.

Client:

o On startup, the initial theme colors (which were used for the login dialog) where

'mixed' with the default blue theme colors.

Fixed Issues in v3.0

Client:

o All published Jobs are reloaded when the Jobs Setup dialog closes, causing long

wait period for the user.

o In "Manage Scan Profiles..." dialog, if the list with the scan profiles was sorted, then

double-clicking on an item would open up the wrong scan profile.

o When resizing the Client window in Multi Document Viewer mode, to a width not

sufficient to hold a single column of pages, an exception error is displayed and the

Client terminates.

o Possible NullPointerException when printing, if the selection does not contain pages.

Batch Management:

o Batches remain locked when network failures occur while opening / downloading.

o The batchStructureChanged javascript event is not called when a batch is opened

(only called for new batches).

o Error when saving a Job that was created by a User that has been deleted in the

meantime.

Job Administration:

o When a Job is published, the admin should close and re-open the Job Administra-

tion dialog to modify the Release Destinations included in this Job.

o When deleting a Release Configuration from an Index Class (Job, Document or

Folder) and adding a new one, then the deleted configuration re-appears.

o When adding a new Data Source, the Oracle JDBC URL template is wrong.

Scanning:

o Setting up a separation with a bar/patch code done with the 'delete page' option,

would misbehave when duplex scanning, if the batch/patch code was found in a

back-side page.

o The batch splitting logic does not move the thumbnails of the new batch.

o When importing pdf pages with binary images with no transparency, the resulting

image is wrongly rotated.

o Page Viewer zoom level is incorrect after 'invert' operation.

Indexing:

o The markValid / markInvalid flags on index field values are not properly set / re-

stored on startup of the Indexing panel.

o The javascript variable 'node' is of wrong type, causing script errors in indexing

scripts.


o Duplicating nodes and keeping index data is keeping references to the original in-

dex values.

o Date range validation fails with 2-digit year date entry.

o Numeric data type considers all negative numbers as invalid.

o Field Validation during Indexing fails when using multiple Allowed Ranges.

o Possible NullPointerException while indexing with multiple lists, sticky and filtered

fields.

o Possible NullPointerException when executing DB action on an empty field.

o If a DB action is linked with a field and has the validate option, focus will not shift

out, even if the field is empty.

Export:

o Images Export fails with grayscale image when converting to PDF.

NGenuity scanner model:

o B&W images are not compressed in the spool directory. They are not compressed

using CCITT Group 4 compression

o The VRS application stayed open after scanning.

Upgrading to v3.0

Following the successful completion of the setup/upgrade wizard, the system administrator should

run the Administration Utility (from the Start Menu Folder) to check the active Database configura-

tion, perform the required Database Schema upgrade and finally, start the corresponding Services.

After upgrading to v3.0, importing Jobs from previous application versions will not work.

System & Environment Requirements

The following sections describe the system requirements for the v3.0 Server:

CPU: For high volume system, the recommended configuration would be 4 cores of Intel

Nehalem-based Xeon @ >= 2.5GHz or 8 cores of older / slower CPUs. For virtual environ-

ments, features like Intel VT-x / VT-d and AMD V / Vi must be supported by the processors,

activated on the machine, enabled in the Virtualization product and activated for the virtual

machine. The minimum requirement is 2 cores of Intel Core-based Xeon at 2GHz (or com-

patible).

Memory: Recommended memory size is 8 GB. Minimum memory size is 4 GB.

Operating System: Windows Server 2008 / 2012, or Red Hat 5 / 6.

Database: SQL Server 2005 SP4 / 2008 / 2012, or Oracle 10g Release 2 and later.

If you choose to install a new instance of SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express, together with the

product installation, the operating system must meet the minimum requirements:

For Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 operating systems, Service Pack 2 or later is

required. For Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, Service Pack 1 or later is required.

Windows 8, 8.1 and Server 2012For more information, see Hardware and Software Re-

quirements for installing SQL Server 2012 at the Microsoft website.

Disk

o Single server: The recommended configuration is a dedicated disk array (RAID 5 or

10) either physically installed on the server, or exported over a dedicated high-


speed Storage Area Network (SAN). The minimum configuration is a single disk,

again either physically installed in the server, or exported over a SAN.

o Server cluster: The recommended configuration is a dedicated Network Attached

Storage (NAS) unit, using a file system native to the OS of the application servers,

connected to the server over a dedicated high-speed network. The minimum con-

figuration is a NAS that can be used by all nodes in the server cluster.

Network:

o Single server: The recommended configuration is separate networks for HTTP, Da-

tabase and storage traffic, if external storage is used. All networks should be at

least 1 Gb and all nodes should be attached to the networks through switches. The

minimum configuration for low volume systems is a single 1 Gb network.

o Server cluster: In addition to the single-server recommended configuration, the rec-

ommended configuration for a cluster is to provide additional networks for cluster

heartbeat and reverse proxy to cluster node HTTP traffic. The minimum configura-

tion for low volume systems is a single 1 Gb network.

Before launching the client application, make sure the user system meets the following:

Supported Operating Systems: All versions of Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, Server 2003,

2008 and 2012 operating systems.

Supported Browsers: Internet Explorer (v8 and later), Firefox (v3.6 and later), Chrome (v4

and later, 32-bit version only) and Opera (v11 and later).

Java Runtime Environment (32-bit) Version 6 (v1.6.0_18 or higher), 7 and 8. Note that JRE

v1.6.0_45 is not supported.

The Arabic language User Interface and rubber band OCR is available only with Java 7 or later.
