Kofax Document Exchange Server 2.5 - Manual (Page 12)

Kofax Document Exchange Server Installation Guide
8 Kofax, Inc.
Kofax Document Exchange Server supports the AMD64 instruction set and architecture on the
Windows operating system. Intel Itanium processors are not supported.
The C:\Program Files (x86) folder is still required for some components of Kofax Document
Exchange Server. To support these components, the installer does the following:
„
Bonjour is installed in both C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86). A Bonjour
subfolder is created in each folder.
„
VRS and PostgreSQL are installed in C:\Program Files (x86). The PostgreSQL database is
installed on the C drive even if Kofax Document Exchange Server is installed on another
local drive. There must be sufficient space on the C drive to accommodate the database.
Refer to Requirement for Free Hard Drive Space for more information.
„
All other files are installed in the installation path you specified.
Precautions and Preliminary Tasks Before Upgrading
Upgrade Notes for User Accounts
During the upgrade, user accounts that are stored in the OpenLDAP database are moved to the
Kofax Document Exchange Server database. Then, the OpenLDAP database and services are shut
down and deleted.
User roles that you defined before the upgrade are retained, along with the users who were
assigned to that role.
If you have users from a directory service (such as Active Directory), note the following when
upgrading Kofax Document Exchange Server:
„
You must log on as a domain user with administrator rights to the local computer to
upgrade Kofax Document Exchange Server.
„
Users and groups that were assigned to any user role in Kofax Administration Console are
retained during the upgrade.
„
Group shortcuts are updated to reflect changes to user groups.
„
The Active Directory on the domain you logged on to is automatically linked to Kofax
Document Exchange Server. All other connections to directory services are deleted and
need to be reconnected after the upgrade. Refer to the Kofax Document Exchange Server
Administrator’s Guide for instructions.
Internet Connection Requirement
Make sure that the computer where you are upgrading Kofax Document Exchange Server is
connected to the Internet. One of the configuration files requires a remote schema for validation.
Role-Based Permissions for Kofax Document Exchange Activities
Users may no longer have permission to do certain activities in Kofax Document Exchange, such
as scanning with WebScan. To allow access to the appropriate activities, edit user roles in Kofax
Administration Console and associate the appropriate permissions. For details, see the Kofax
Administration Console Help.
Services Running before Upgrading
