2) In case of MS SQL, a new user account, under which the FlexiCapture 10 Web Services pool of the Ap-
plication Server web-service is running, is added to the database server (by default the pool of the Appli-
cation Server is started under the user account Network Service).
3) db_owner rights to the FlexiCapture database created in step 1 are assigned to the new user account cre-
ated in step 2 (if MS SQL is used). All further operations concerning server interaction with the database
are performed on behalf of the user created in step 2. The account used for creating a database in step 1
can be deleted from the database server if necessary.
In case of Oracle, all further work with the database during the operation of the FlexiCapture system is
performed under the account used for creating the database in step 1, no additional accounts are created
(in contrast to MS SQL).
4. If you are using FlexiCapture authentication (for this, Authentication Module must be installed), then after creating a
database, you will receive a message saying that a temporary password password has been created for your account.
To continue working with the system, it is necessary to change the password. For this, go to the login page
(http://<server name>/Login).
When trying to open any page of the Administration and Monitoring Console after creating a database, the user will
be automatically redirected to the login page to change the password. Once the password is changed, the user will be
returned to the page of the Administration and Monitoring Console.
5. The user who created the FlexiCapture database, automatically gets administrative privileges for the system. The admin-
istrator also has the right to change the settings of the Application Server, upload projects to the Application Server,
grant access rights for projects, create new users of the system and manage their roles and access rights.
The administrator of the system can grant the administrator role to another user and delegate further configuration of the
system to that user. The user who created the database cannot be deprived of the administrator role, neither can the
user’s account be deleted from the system.
Connecting to an existing database
Instead of creating a new database you may need to connect to an existing database created in one of the previous releases of
FlexiCapture 10 or FlexiCapture 9.0 (see Upgrading from ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0).
Important! Under Windows Vista, Windows 2008 or later versions, UAC must be disabled on the computer where the Applica-
tion Server is installed before connecting to the database.
To connect to an existing database, do the following:
1. On the computer where the Application Server is installed, run the Administration and Monitoring Console under a
user account with privileges of Windows administrator and go the page Service -> Application Server (http://<server
name>/FlexiCapture10/DBConnection.aspx).
If the Application Server is already connected to a database, go to step 4.
2. Click Connect to Existing Database.
3. In the form that opens, fill in the following fields: type of database server, name of the existing database (if MS SQL
Server is used), the user who is the administrator of the database server, path to file storage (if the file storage is used).
Click Ok.
4. Now you server is connected to the database. If the Upgrade link is displayed on the Service -> Application Server page
(http://<server name>/FlexiCapture10/DBConnection.aspx), near the database version, then you should upgrade the da-
tabase before you proceed.
5. If you have installed the Authentication Module and authentication by means of FlexiCapture has not been used for this
database before, a temporary password password is assigned to the user under whose account the Administration and
Monitoring Console was started.
Note: If the database was created in FlexiCapture 10 Release 2 or earlier versions and was then upgraded to the current
version using the Administration and Monitoring Console, then for all users using FlexiCapture Authentication Mod-
ule, passwords will be changed to the temporary password password after upgrading the database. This password is
only valid for authentication by means of FlexiCapture Authentication Module. It means, that users who worked using
standard IIS authentication, will continue working as before.
Uploading project to server
For ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 Distributed operators could work with the same project(-s) together, the project(-s) must be up-
loaded to the Application Server. To upload a project to the server, the user must have the role of administrator of the system.
To upload project to the server, open the Project Setup Station and do one of the following:
• Create a new project (FileÆNew project…). Create or import at least one Document Definition (Pro-
jectÆDocument Definitions).
