l Server: Enter the server where the NDS tree you entered in the Tree text box resides. You do not have to spec-
ify a server if there is only a single configured server on your network. Click Servers to navigate to the desired
server on which the NDS tree containing the user resides.
Expand folder paths in UNC (Universal Naming Convention) format: Select to expand all paths used in the con-
figuration to UNC. This converts map drives such as “f:\, to absolute paths referenced from a server in the format “\\server-
name\shared-resource-pathname”. When you select this option, the next time you configure a task after editing properties
and clicking OK in its properties dialog box, entered paths are expanded to UNC format.
You can leave the Context box empty if there is a single root context on your NDS tree, if you can perform a context-
free login, or if you enter a server name in the Server box. PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools and PlanetPress Image
use the same security context when connected to a NetWare server and they each use one connection. Also note that
using erroneous Tree or Context information may cause PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools and its services to crash.
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. See
PlanetPress Capture Server/Client.
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 PlanetPress Capture ODBC 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.
l Pen Database group
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 dialog.
l License Manager...: Click to open the PlanetPress Capture License Management dialog.
PlanetPress Capture Server/Client
PlanetPress Capture can be set to be either in Server or Client mode from the PlanetPress Capture User Options.
In Server mode, all pen licenses are stored locally. Other clients can connect to this server to validate pens. This allows all pen
licenses to be managed locally.
In client mode, no pen license information is stored locally. All pens are therefore validated against the server specified in the
Host address field displayed when the Client option is selected. Note that this validation occurs for every ink file (i.e. PGC file)
the local system processes, which may cause a slight delay for the operation depending on the connection speed and latency
between the two systems.
Also, note that the Server/Client mode is only used for managing pen licenses and has no impact on the Capture Database
itself. The database can be stored locally or remotely, regardless of the Server/Client mode specified.
