Reassigning Workers to Different Configura-
tion Databases
Starting with version 6.2, workers may be re-assigned to different configura-
tion databases.
Task tables for each configuration database, including the instance name of
the SQL server on which the database resides, will be listed along with the
task tables for the current configuration database.
To facilitate the management of configurations, the Ipro eCapture Monitor may
be accessed from the Task Table Management dialog. The Ipro eCapture Moni-
tor is used to add new configurations. See the section Using the Ipro eCapture
Monitor on page 2-9 for information about the Ipro eCapture Monitor.
Once the configurations are added, they appear in the drop-down task table
list.
Best Practices for Table Task Assignment
Switching Workers to different configuration databases will cause issues if
there are differences between Ipro eCapture settings for those databases or
the processing environments. The Worker Patch Management patch version
and patch directory must be the same across all Controllers to ensure Workers
do not inadvertently upgrade themselves with incorrect or old patch files. The
same version of Microsoft Windows updates, specifically time zone version
updates, must be applied to all Ipro eCapture machines across all environ-
ments. A Worker with an incorrect time zone version (as determined by the
Controller to which it is assigned) will not accept tasks. Likewise, if a Controller
uses a mapped drive that is not mapped on a Worker switched to that Control-
ler's task table, the Worker will not accept tasks because the drive will be inac-
cessible. Prior to using this feature, the different environments must be
configured to have the same or similar Worker patch settings, Windows
updates and drive letter configuration.
1. Select a task table from the drop-down list.
2. Select the workers to assign to the task table. Workers may be selected
contiguously or non-contiguously. Ctrl-click to select non-contiguous
workers. Shift-click to select a contiguous group of workers.
