Copying the application to the Datacap Server
The following information provides instructions for copying specific applications. However, the instructions are equally applicable to a customized application, and you can refer to any one of the topics for copying your custom application. You need to start Datacap Studio, start the Datacap Studio Application Copy wizard, and copy the application from the developer workstation to the server. The application can then be accessed by other workstations that are running the Datacap Client or Datacap Web Client, and by other services and processes.
