Question:
How to use DocuWare Connect to Global Scan NX?
Answer:
1. Create Upload Job
Create a new Upload Service Job and give this new configuration a name like "Upload" or whatever you like.
Please select as the type "Ricoh GSNX Directory". The source folder path is where the multifunctional device scans the documents to.
Select any web basket (this selection is just temporarily).
Important: Please close this window using the "OK"- Button and save the configuration afterwards (File - Save). The configuration will be saved in a file called: DWUploadService.config
2. Adapt configuration file
Important: Stop the Upload Service before editting the file!
Search for the file: DWUploadService.config
If you have installed the Upload Service as a desktop application you will find the file here:
- Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\DocuWare\UploadService
- Windows XP, Vista and Windows Server 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\ApplicationData\DocuWare\UploadService
If you have installed the Upload Service as a service, you will find the file here:
- Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008: C:\Programdata\DocuWare\UploadService
- Windows XP, Vista and Windows Server 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\ApplicationData\DocuWare\UploadService
Open the file in Notepad. In step 1, you gave a name to the upload service job, in this example "Upload". Search the configuration file for this name:
<Watcher xsi:type="StaticWatcher" BreakOnError="false" Name=â€Upload†Active="true">
<CheckInterval Type="Minutes" Value="1" />
<Source Type="RicohGSNX" Path="C:\Temp\ftp\ricoh" MinimumAgeInMinutes="3" />
<Destinations>
<Destination xsi:type="WebBasketDestination" Guid="d374dca0-55b3-48e2-bf9e-38dce516bd14">
<Name>Basket1</Name>
</Destination>
</Destinations>
</Watcher>
You will find a line like this one:
<Destination xsi:type="WebBasketDestination" Guid="d374dca0-55b3-48e2-bf9e-38dce516bd14">
Change the type from WebBasketDestination to FileCabinetDestination and also adapt the GUID, you have to copy the GUID of the file cabinet you want to use to store to into the file. You can find the GUID in the DocuWare administration in the file cabinet area. After the change the line will look like this one:
<Destination xsi:type="FileCabinetDestination" Guid="f5b9d100-00d8-4941-bf29-020cb5702429">
Save the file and restart the DocuWare Upload Service.
If you have changed everything correctly, as described in this article, it is now possible to store documents into a file cabinet. The index values will come from the XML file, which is created by your MFD.
Both files, the document file and the XML file have to be in the same folder. Attached to this article you will find a example of the structure of the XML file.
