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. Asession can contain ink from multiple fields in any order. A
new session starts whenever a PGCis 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.
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 PReS 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.
