Installing

Before you install or migrate your system, install the necessary prerequisites and plan a system that meets your needs.

  • Planning your Datacap system

    Before you begin any installation of Datacap, ensure that your system is configured with the required prerequisite software.
  • Installing and configuring Datacap on one machine
    You can install, configure, and operate Datacap on a single machine for demonstration or testing purposes only.
  • Installing and configuring in a client/server environment
    The typical installation configuration for Datacap is one where the various Datacap software components are installed on dedicated machines. These software components include application servers, web servers, database servers, scan workstations, verify workstations, etc.

    The Datacap applications can use DB2®, Microsoft SQL Server, or Oracle databases to store workflow definitions, security parameters, processing information, and fingerprints.
  • Upgrading
    Migrating a Datacap environment to a new release requires that you upgrade the component software and migrate your deployed applications. Depending on the currently installed version of Datacap, upgrading the software may first require removing the previous version before installing the new release. The migration steps can include revising existing functionality, adding new features, or changing baseline user interfaces.
  • Migrating from previous releases
    Migrating a Datacap environment to a new release requires that you upgrade the component software and migrate your deployed applications. The migration steps can include revising existing functionality, adding new features, or changing baseline user interfaces.
