PlanetPress Capture User Options
PlanetPress Capture User Options lets you change the PlanetPress Capture options relative to your Workflow server. This is
where you set up your server and database and is also where you manage pens, documents and licenses.
The available PlanetPress Capture user options are:
l Mode: Choose between Server and Client mode. Client and Server mode are used for multi-server architectures.
l Port: Select the port used to connect two servers together. The default value is 5864.
l Document and Pattern Database group
l Status:Displays the status of the database.
l Use ODBCDatabase:Check to ignore the default location for the Microsoft Access database (MDB) and use
an ODBCconnection to your own database location instead.
l ODBCSettings: Click to open the ODBCDatabase Settings dialog.
l Test Connection:Click to verify the connection to the ODBCDatabase.
l Reset Database:Click to reset the database to its original status.
l Manage Documents...:Click to open the "PlanetPress Capture Document Manager" (page 71).

l Register pens on first use:Check if you want any new pen that sends a PGC to be added to the pen data-
base. Newly registered pens will not have any Pattern Sequence or owner information.
l Manage Pens...:Click to open the "PlanetPress Capture Pen Management Tool" (page 72) dialog.
l License Manager...: Click to open the "PlanetPress Capture License Management" (page 72) dialog.
The ODBCDatabase Settings Dialog options are:

determines what SQLcommands are sent to it.

Sources on your system.
l Username:Type in the username (if required)to access the database.
l Password:Type in the password (if required)to access the database.
Database Considerations (ODBC)
On 64-bit operating systems, the ODBCData Sources created by the Data Source (ODBC)icon in the Administrative
Tools will not appear here, as PlanetPress Suite is 32-bit and cannot access the 64-bit data sources. In order to create
an ODBCconnection visible by PlanetPress, you will need to access the 32-bit version of the ODBCmanager, avail-
able in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe .
The following considerations should be kept in mind while working with ODBCDatabases in PlanetPress Suite.
l Microsoft Access
l Database file (mdb)must be local to the PlanetPress Workflow computer. It cannot be located on a network
drive or another server.
l Total database size is limited to 4GBof data.
l Total size of a single table is 2GB.
l May be unstable in large implementations.
