Pidget
Type of PlanetPress Capture object. Page element used to give instructions to the Anoto pen, as opposed to recording ink.
PlanetPress Capture Database
A database containing the list of patterns, sequences, registered pens and documents. The Capture Database can be used by a
single server, or by multiple servers in a Client/Server architecture.
Session
The time spent by the pen between events that trigger a new session. Generally a session refers to any ink in a single page
containing a Capture Pattern. Asession can contain ink from multiple fields in any order. A new session starts whenever a
PGCis sent for processing (which erases the data from the pen).
General Considerations
Here are some general considerations in regards to PlanetPress Capture, its environment, the hardware and the software that
interacts with it. Please review these considerations carefully as they may impact PlanetPress Capture and its functionality.
PlanetPress Capture Fields cannot simply be inserted into an existing document as-is and expected to work properly,
efficiently or consistently. In order to design a document with Capture Fields, you must review and understand the
Critical PlanetPress Capture Implementation Restrictions.
Database Considerations (ODBC)
On 64-bit operating systems, the ODBCData 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 ODBCconnection visible by PlanetPress, you will need to access the 32-bit version of the ODBCmanager, avail-
able in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe .
The following considerations should be kept in mind while working with ODBCDatabases 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.
l MySQL
l Database can be in any location, but performance will depend on the speed of the connection between Plan-
etPress and the MySQLserver.
l MySQL's performance has been slower than SQLServer and SQLServer Express during our tests.
l By default, MySQLis configured not to allow any SQLrequest larger than 16 megs.
l In the event where 2 requests are made simultaneously on the same record, MySQLwill queue one of the
requests and execute it once the first one is done. In extremely rare cases this may cause a timeout on very
large requests.
l MSSQL(Microsoft SQLServer)
l Database can be in any location, but performance will depend on the speed of the connection between Plan-
etPress Production and the SQLserver.
