Question:
How to create file cabinets in DocuWare 4 mode?
Answer:
File cabinets in DocuWare 4 mode are created within the DocuWare main program via the file cabinet administration. The database used is a relational database with ODBC interface. Starting with DocuWare 5 the RAIMA database is no longer supported. In order to create a file cabinet the following conditions must be met:
- The DocuWare user must have the right in the database system to create tables.
- There must be a data source of the same name on all workstations, pointing to the respective database system.
This data source is opened and a new system table is created by the DocuWare file cabinet administration when a new file cabinet is created. If this system table has already been created, check by using the database system administration program whether you have write rights for this table.
When this has been ascertained, use DocuWare to create a worktable. Here too, please check immediately after creating the table whether you have write rights in it. For more information, please refer to the Online Help on DocuWare.
When defining a name for an ODBC file cabinet, please note that this name has to be different than the name of the system table.
The required entries in the ADF file are made by DocuWare.
