Installing and configuring Datacap on one machine

On a single machine you can install and run most Datacap components. You create a test environment that is sufficient to develop and use applications and gain an understanding of the product.

Datacap is designed to be installed, configured, and operated in a client/server environment. The following components can be installed, configured, and run on the single Windows machine for demonstration or testing purposes.

  • Datacap Server service
  • Datacap Web Client
  • Report Viewer
  • Rulerunner Service (single thread)
  • Datacap Studio
  • Datacap FastDoc
  • Datacap Desktop
  • Datacap Application Copy Tool

You must configure the single machine for Datacap authentication. The Datacap Server service, Datacap Web Client application pool, Report Viewer application pool, and Rulerunner Service use the default LocalSystem account on the single machine.

The Windows account that you use when you log in to the single machine must have administrator rights.

After you install the Datacap software from the installation wizard, you must apply the software license by going to the IBM Datacap Services folder, opening the Datacap License Manager, and selecting your license options. The IBM® Datacap *.swidtag license files are in the C:\Datacap\iso-swid folder.
