General considerations
Here are some general considerations in regards to PlanetPress Capture, its environment, the hard-
ware and the software that interacts with it. Please review these considerations carefully as they may
impact PlanetPress Capture and its functionality.
Caution: 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 Cap-
ture Fields, you must review and understand the Critical PlanetPress Capture Implementation
Restrictions.
Database considerations (ODBC)
Note: 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, available in C:\Win-
dows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe .
The following considerations should be kept in mind while working with ODBC Databases in Plan-
etPress Suite.
l
All databases
l
User Rights: During normal operation, Read/Write to tables should be sufficient. However,
during the initial setup, the Create/Drop tables rights is necessary.
l
Minimum 100MB of database size is required as a minimum, but the space requirement
depends on the implementation. The more active documents in the database, the more
space is used - note that this progression is rather linear.
l
Regular database maintenance is required, such as database compacting, is required by a
system administrator.
l
It is recommended to create an IT process that backs up the database regularly.
l
The recommended ideal setup is a dedicated SQL Server PC, accessed by PlanetPress
Workflow through an ODBC connection on the local network.
l
Microsoft Access
l
Database file (mdb) must be local to the PlanetPress Workflow computer. It cannot be loc-
ated on a network drive or another server.
l
Total database size is limited to 4GB of data.
