ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 System Administrator’s Guide
Registering a New Processing Station
If the Server Manager and a Processing Station have been installed on different computers, you need to register the
Processing Station in the Recognition Server. To register a new Processing Station:
1. Select the ABBYY Recognition Servers\Recognition Server\Processing Stations node.
2. Click
(Register New Processing Station) on the toolbar or select the corresponding item on the shortcut
menu.
3. In the dialog box that opens, specify the name of the station and the name or IP of the computer on which the
Processing Station is installed.
4. Click the Test Connection button to check the connection to this computer.
5. Click OK. The created Processing Station will be added to the Processing Stations node.
Creating a New Workflow
To create a new workflow, select the Workflows node and either click (New Workflow) on the toolbar or select
the corresponding item on the shortcut menu. You can also create new workflows by creating a copy of an existing
workflow and changing its options. To create a copy of an existing workflow, select the Duplicate item on the shortcut
menu of the workflow.
In the Workflow Properties dialog box, specify the following:
• Input tab:
o Workflow name which will be displayed in the Workflows node
o In the Get images from dropdown list, select the type of Input folder
o The path to the Shared Folder, Exchange Mailbox Folder, POP3 Email Server or FTP server, the
username and password to the POP3 server, the login and password to the FTP server (see
Configuring Email Processing for more information about the email configuration)
o Workflow activity, which can be scheduled (see Creating a Schedule in the Main Help)
• Process tab:
o Recognition language(s)
o Document separation method (see Configuring Document Separation)
o Recognition mode
• Quality Control tab:
o Verification settings (see Configuring Verification)
o Exceptions folder
• Indexing tab:
o Indexing settings (see Configuring Document Indexing)
• Output tab:
o Output formats and their settings
o Output destination and the file naming rule
To view or adjust the properties of a workflow, select the corresponding node and either click
(Properties) on the
toolbar or select the corresponding item on the shortcut menu.
Important! If you want to specify a shared folder as the Input folder, Output folder or Exceptions folder, make sure
that the user account under which the Server Manager component is started has read/write permissions for all shared
folders.
If the Input Folder has subfolders and image files are copied into the subfolders, the output files will be saved in the
corresponding subfolders of the Output Folder or Exceptions Folder.
Notes:
• To reduce network traffic, create the Input and the Output folders of the workflow on the same computer on
which the Server Manager is installed.
