Known Issues:

  1. Backup could not be created C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Temp\<filename>.bak'. (Aceess denied)
    Cause:
    For the simulation a backup of the DWSystem database is created in the temp. folder (%temp%) of the windows user which has started the DocuWare Setup (C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Temp\).
    However the backup is created by the user which is running the database service (e.g. local system).
    This user has no read/write permissions on the  target folder.
    Solution:
    Grant read/write permissions to the user which is running the database service on the temp. folder of the windows user which has started the DocuWare Setup.
