PlanetPress Capture and its functionality.
Warning
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)
Technical
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, available in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe .
The following considerations should be kept in mind while working with ODBCDatabases in PlanetPress
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 ODBCconnection on the local network.
