Product overview 1

The Xerox DigiPath Production So ftware has the following applications:

• Xerox DigiPath Professional Production Software is a network-based image capture and retrieval system. It allows you to create electronic images by scanning hardcopy documents. You can then assemble the electronic images into digital documents; edit and enhance those digital documents; store, catalog and retrieve the digital documents; and submit the digital documents to print to produce high quality output.

• Xerox DigiPath Xpress Production Software provides the most direct path between job submission and job completion. Using a simple, copier-like interface, Dig iPath Xpress enables you to scan, store, and print jobs quickly.

NOTE: None of the applications included in the DigiPath

Xpress package provide the ab ility to view RDO files. The DigiPath Xpress package is used primarily for scanning documents, managing files, and printing files. The DigiPath Xpress package cannot be used to edit scanned files.

Virus protection recommendations 1

This section describes the recommended procedures for protecting your DigiPath system from virus contamination.

Protecting DigiPath from virus contamination 1

Xerox takes special precautions to ensure the software is shipped free from computer virus contamination. It is strongly recommended that you invest in a virus detection software application to protect your DigiPath system from viruses.

Computer viruses are best detected by virus detection and control application software that is accepted by the PC industry.

Some of the virus detection and control applications available to and widely-used by the PC industry include:

• Norton Anti-Virus by Symantec

• McAfee VirusScan by Network Associates, Inc.

NOTE: To ensure maximum protection from new viruses, update or upgrade your virus detection software frequently.

It is strongly recommended that you follow these guidelines to keep your DigiPath system decontaminated :

• On a regular basis (at least weekly), run virus detection software on all DigiPath workstations.

• In the event yo u find a virus on a DigiPath works tation, do not remove the virus. Instead, cancel the virus detection, then back up the entire hard drive.

NOTE: This is to protect your data in the event of corruption during the course of the virus removal.

You can then remove the virus using the pro cedures supp lied with your virus protection softw are.

SETTING UP A DIGIPATH SYSTEM XEROX DIGIPATH PRODUCTION SOFTWARE

Table 2-1 lists the procedures necessary for setting up a DigiPath system after the system is installed and provides a brief overview of each procedure.

NOTE: These procedures should be performed in the order in

which they are presented in Table 2-1. The actual instructions for the procedures are found in other documents or in other chapters of this book.

Table 2-1. Procedures for setting up a DigiPath system

Procedure Overview

1. Creating DigiPath user accounts The Users tab, in the Library Administration T ool, allows you to create, modify, and delete DigiPath user accounts for users accessing Document Library applications. User accounts must be activated to allow a user to access Document Library applications from a local workstation. For infor mation on c reating user accounts, refer to Chapter 6, System administration.

2. Creating DigiPath groups

3. Setting the database location The System tab, in the Library Administration Tool, is used to

4. Setting the cabinet creation

location for local users

The Users tab, in the Library Administration T ool, allows you to create, modify, and delete DigiPath groups. User groups define a group of users. When creating a new cabinet, you can assign read, write, and administrator rights to various users and user groups. When many users need to access a specific cabinet, it is quicker to assign user access rights to that cabinet if the users are all members of the same group. For information on creating groups, refer to Chapter 6, System administration.

specify on which local drive a cabinet database is stored. The database stores information such as:

• cabinet name

• description of the cabinet

• attributes and attribute sets for the cabinet

• location of the cabinet

• documents stored within the cabinet For information on setting the database location, refer to Chapter 6, System administration.

The System tab, in the Library Administration Tool, is used to set up and modify drives on which local users can create cabinets. By default, users have the ability to create cabinets on all local drives. For information on setting the cabinet creation location for local users, refer to Chapter 6, System administration.

XEROX DIGIPATH PRODUCTION SOFTWARE SETTING UP A DIGIPATH SYSTEM

Table 2-1. Procedures for setting up a DigiPath system

Procedure Overview

5. Creating cabinets The Cabinet and Attributes tab, in the Library Administration Tool, allows you to manage cabinets, including:

• adding a cabinet

• defining the properties and attributes of a cabinet

• deleting a cabinet

• purging the contents of a cabinet When you create a cabinet, the access rights you define are critical. If you do not assign Read or Write permissions to users for the cabinet, those users will not be able to view the cabinet when they use Document Li brary. For information on creating cabinets, refer to Chapter 7, Managing cabinets.

6. Creating new attributes, attribute

groups, and attribute sets

7. Scheduling the conversion of

documents

Use the Cabinet and Attributes tab, in the Library Administration Tool, to:

• create new custom attributes

• modify existing attributes

• delete attributes

• create user defined attribute groups

• create new attribute sets Attribute sets are applied to cabinets when they are created. Attribute sets allow you to apply the same attributes and attribute groups to several cabinets. By doing so, you can easily create the same properties for several cabinets. For information on creating new attributes, attribute groups, and attribute sets, refer to Chapter 8, Defining attribute sets.

NOTE: Do not use the attribute set file dgpminimal.set located in the e:\digipath directory when assigning an attribute set file to a cabinet or creating a new set file.

The Conversion tab, in the Library Administration Tool, allows you to schedule document conversions in all Document Library applications on a “per server” basis. Once converted, documents are viewable in the Document Library preview pane. For information on using and scheduling document conversions, refer to Chap ter 6, Syst em admi ni st ra tio n.

8. Setting up remote access The Servers tab, in the Library Administration Tool, allows you to configure connections between remote servers, including Document Library servers in a multiple server environment. For information on configuring remote servers, refer to Chapter 6, System administration.

Preparing to shut down the Makeready workstation 3

For the most part, shutting down the Makeready workstation is the same as shutting down any other Windows 2000 workstation. However, because of the Document Library cabinet system and the ability to access the Document Library cabinets from a remote workstation, there are some precautions you must take before shutting down a Makeready workstation.

The most important thing to do before shutting down a Makeready workstation is make sure no one else is connected to the workstation and, possibly, using local cabinets. If you shut down the workstation while someone is remotely accessing local cabinets, the remote user could lose data and experience problems with their workstation.

CAUTION

If you shut down the Makeready workstation and rec eive a message such as “still connected to a user; do you want to disconnect?,” select [No]. To properly shut down the local workstation and avoi d problems with the remote workstati on, you must have the connected user exit the application that is using the cabinet system and then you must disconnect the remote workstation from the local workstation.

The following sections describe how to check for connected users, notify them that the workstation is going to be shut down, and then disconnect them from the remote workstation.

Using a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) 4

As an option, Digi Path Productio n Software suppor ts the use of a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) for mass storage of objects. A RAID device is an array of two or more relatively small, inexpensive SCSI hard disks organized to function as if they were a single, large disk drive. The hard disks are contained in an enclosure called the RAID cab inet and are manage d by the RAID device controller. The RAID cabinet for the 100 GB RAID is capable of holding up to seven SCSI hard disks and the RAID cabinet for the 150 GB RAI D is capa ble of hol ding up to ten SCSI hard disks. DigiPath Production Software supports a configuration using one or two RAID cabinets.

The device controller and management software, included with the RAID system, manage all internal aspects and operation of the device and make RAID operations transparent to the attached computer. From the computer and user viewpoi nts, th e RAID device appears to be a single, large disk rather than several, small disks.

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE 4-15

HARDWARE MAINTENANCE XEROX DIGIPATH PRODUCTION SOFTWARE

Understanding RAID levels 4

Often, part of the total available capacity for the disk array is devoted to storing the extra check data needed to detect and correct errors. D iffer ent schemes exis t for writing a ctual data an d for writing check data to the disk array. Referred to as the RAID level, these schemes use a variety of techniques, such as those described in Table 4-3.

Table 4-3. RAID level techniques

Technique Description

Mirroring Writes the same data to more than one disk in the array Parity bits Stores extra bits with the actual data to assist in detecting

and correcting errors

Striping Distributes consecutive data block sequences across the

disk array

4-16 SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

XEROX DIGIPATH PRODUCTION SOFTWARE HARDWARE MAINTENANCE

Table 4-4 lists and describes the available RAID levels.

Table 4-4. RAID Level

RAID level Description

Level 3 RAID Level 3 uses one entire disk (sometimes referred to

as a parity disk) for storing the check data for a group of disks. The actual data is striped across the other data disks in the array. When reading or writing data in the array, all disks are accessed simultaneously, which allows for only one data transfer at a time. This data configuration is optimal for many small data transfers.

Level 5 RAID Level 5 uses the equivalent of one entire disk for

storing check data but distributes the check data over all the disks in the array. When reading or writing data in the array, only two disks are accessed simultaneously, which allows for multiple simultaneous data transfers. This data configuration is preferable for large data transfers.

Level 3/5 The RAID Level 3/5 data configuration is adaptive,

combining the advantages of both Level 3 and Level 5 data configurations. Based upon the data transfer size, RAID Level 3/5 determines which data storage scheme to use. Level 3/5 incorporates both data striping, so that data is written across the array of disks, and parity bits, which eliminate the possible slowdown associated with a dedicated parity disk. Because of the composition of DigiPath Production Software application data, RAID Level 3/5 is optimal for both data transfer rates and efficient use of disk space.

NOTE: In general, the check data on a R AID device r educes the probability of losing actual data. However, just as with any mass storage device, such as a hard drive, you should regularly back up the data stored on the RAID device.

NOTE: Refer to Chapter 7, Backup an d restore, for procedures

Table 4-7. Supported DigiPath internal tape drives

Internal tape drive Description

TR5 This internal tape drive, which is included with the Compaq

on backing up the DigiPath system using the tape drives.

Workstation PW8000, is used to back up the workstation hard drive. The TR5 internal tape drive has an expected data transfer rate of 60 MB per minute and uses tapes with a maximum capacity of 10 GB uncompressed, or 20 GB compressed. The tape drive performance and tape capacity of the internal tape drives allow you to complete a full backup of the hard drive in a reasonable amount of time, using only one or two tapes.

NOTE: Because of the large capacity of the RAID device, using one of the internal tape drives to back up the RAID would require numerous tapes and many hours. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you purchase and use the optional Sony AIT tape drive for backup of a RAID system.

8 mm Exabyte Eliant/8505 The Exabyte Eliant/8505 8 mm tape drive is an optional unit. It is

Table 4-8. DigiPath external tape drive

External tape drive Description

AIT The Sony AIT tape drive is an optional external drive that can be used to

backup the 100 GB or 150 GB devices. The AIT drive has an expected data transfer rate of 1360 MB per minute and a maximum data transfer rate of 720 MB per minute with 2:1 compression. The AIT drive supports the following tape lengths:

• 25/50 GB tape

• 35/70 GB tape

• 50/100 GB tape The maximum capacity of each tape is 50, 70, and 100 GB with a 2:1 compression and 25, 35, and 50 GB native.

NOTE: Although the AIT tape drive is capable of 2:1 compression, these results are not likely with DigiPath data. The TIFF images in the RDO documents are already highly compressed; therefore little gain is realized from the AIT tape drive’s compression algorithm.

Instead of using a driver, the Sony AIT tape drive is controlled by the TapeWare software installed on the DigiPath workstation.

Digipath backup strategy 5

Backing up your DigiPath system is an important and necessa ry function. Should the DigiPath system exp erience an internal hard drive or RAID system failure, accidental file deletion, or another catastrophic event, a successful backup of data minimizes the amount of lost data. Using a successful and efficient backup strategy reduces the amount of time required to restore the system to a fully operational state once the necessary hardware repairs are made.

The DigiPath Rescue application is used to backup and restore DigiPath cabinets, including user information, registry settings, documents, and cabine t attribute s, to a specifie d directory on th e machine’s hard drive.

The TapeWare software is used to backup and restore the following:

• DigiPath workstation/server hard drive to the internal TR5 tape drive

• 100/150 GB RAIDs to the external Sony AIT tape drive

The TR5 tape drive has the following uncompressed and compressed backup rates:

• 10 GB uncompressed data at a backup rate of 60 MB/minute

• 20 GB compressed data at a backup rate of 120 MB/minute

Sony AIT 5

The Sony AIT tape drive is used to backup one or two 100/150 GB RAID devices.

The Sony AIT tape drive supports two tape lengths: a 25/50 GB (170 meter) tape and a 35/70 GB (230 meter) tape. These two tapes have the following backup rates:

• 25 GB (170 meter) or 35 GB (230 meter) uncompressed data have a backup rate of 180 MB/minute

• 50 GB (170 meter) or 7 0 GB (230 meter) compressed data have a backup rate of 360 MB/minute

Table 5-2 provides the approximate time it takes to complete a full backup using the minimum and maximum number of tapes.

NOTE: The job data on a RAID is highly compressed during a backup; therefore, so little additional compression can be achieved by using the compression algorithms in the Sony AIT tape drive firmware.
