Important! Both database and a project will be converted to new format and it will be impossible to use them in ABBYY Flexi-
Capture 9.0 again.
If you need to have a Database backup or to work with both ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 and ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 databases at
the same time please follow the instruction below. If it is not necessary go to the 1-st item of the instruction about upgrade.
To create a Database backup:
- Create a FlexiCapture 9.0 Database backup by MS SQL Server means.
- Create a copy of FileStorage (if it is a folder on a disk) and save it in an appropriate place.
To connect ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 to the backup Database:
- Restore the Database from the backup
- Specify path to the File Storage in the FlexiCapture 9.0 Administration and Monitoring Console.
To create a Database copy for ABBYY FlexiCapture 10:
- Copy a FlexiCapture 9.0 Database and rename it (for example, to FC10Database)
- Copy a File Storage folder and rename it (for example, to FC10FileStorage)
- After installing ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 connect to the new database (here FC10Database) and specify the path to the
File Storage folder (here FC10FileStorage)
- Continue working with the original FlexiCapture 9.0 database and the File Storage.
To upgrade a network FlexiCapture 9.0 project:
1. Finish processing of all batches in ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 if it is possible.
2. Close all opened sessions via the Administration and Monitoring Console.
3. Install ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 (both servers and stations).
4. Make sure that FlexiCapture 9.0 database is not used by FlexiCapture 9.0. For this, do either of the following:
- Remove ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 from the computer or
- Delete the Connection String from the Windows registry: find the registry branch
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ABBYY\FlexiCapture\9.0\WebServices and delete the “DBConnec-
tionString” parameter
5. Upgrade the database to the necessary version in the Administration and Monitoring Console.
6. In the Administration and Monitoring Console, open the Service -> Out-of-Processing page and check if there are any
batches there. If yes, click the Return to processing button to send batches to further processing.
7. In the Project Setup Station, open a project from Server. It will be converted to ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 format.
8. Check if the project and the Document Definition settings are correct. We recommend checking state of the “Process
whole batches” option on the Workflow tab of the Project or Batch type properties window.
9. Continue working with the project.
Using ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 9.0 projects (*.fsp) in ABBYY FlexiLayout 10
All FlexiLayout Studio 9.0 projects can be opened in FlexiLayout Studio 10. Please note the following:
- It is impossible to open an .fsp-project in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 9.0 once it was opened in ABBYY FlexiLayout
Studio 10, so you should create a copy of the project before opening it in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 10 if you still
need to open it in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 9.0.
- After opening a FlexiLayout Studio 9.0 project in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 10 you may need to delete all processing
results and analyze all pages once again.
- Due to changes in FlexiLayout language some compilation errors may occur. In this case you will need to correct errors
and re-compile FlexiLayouts.
Using FlexiLayouts (*.afl) created in ABBYY FlexiLayout 9.0
FlexiLayouts compiled in ABBYY FlexiLayout 9.0 can be loaded into ABBYY FlexiCapture 10.
Sometimes due to changes in FlexiLayout language some compilation errors may occur. In this case open the *.fsp project in
ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 10, correct the errors and re-compile FlexiLayouts.
