Datacap client/server configuration
Datacap can be configured in many ways, such as installing components on separate machines, installing multiple components on a single machine, or installing a single component on multiple machines.
The multiple machine configuration that is used throughout the client/server examples that are provided in these tasks includes the following machines:
- The Datacap Server that hosts the main application settings file (datacap.xml), the applications, batch files, and databases.
- The Datacap Web Server and the Report Viewer.
- The developer workstation that hosts the Datacap clients, including Datacap Studio, Datacap Desktop, FastDoc, and Maintenance Manager.
- Workstations that host Datacap clients, such as Datacap Desktop, your browser, and the Datacap Web Client Upload Service.
- The Rulerunner server hosts the Rulerunner Service, which runs tasks that do not require human interaction.
