2 About OpenText Imaging Enterprise Scan


This section provides an overview of OpenText Imaging Enterprise Scan 16.0.0.
Enterprise Scan is available as two different product types:
Windows Client: Enterprise Scan windows client is the solution for mass scanning and indexing of
documents at one or more scan stations. With Enterprise Scan, workflows can be implemented from
receipt by mail through scanning and linking to the leading application, through to archiving. After
scanning, the pages can be checked carefully, straightened and cleaned up. Several functions are
available to improve contrast and legibility. Enterprise Scan also provides support for sorting and
archiving.
Web scanning: The Enterprise Scan Web Scanning component allows browser based scanning
without a need to install desktop scan application. Web Scanning is available for OpenText Content
Server only in this release. For more information, see the OpenText Imaging Enterprise Scan -
Webinterface 16.0.0 Release Notes in KC.

2.1 New features


OpenText Imaging Enterprise Scan 16.0.0 includes the following new features.
Usability
• Use Content Server workflow to add functionality
Uses Content Server workflow to extend document upload functionality on a per project base.
• Support transport scenarios

see the Installation Guide.

OpenText Imaging Enterprise Scan 16.0.0 Release Notes


14
Server based configuration management
Enterprise Scan 16.0.0 does not introduce a new container on Archive Server and it is compatible with
10.5 container. Hence no migration is required for configurations that were uploaded to Archive Server
by 10.5 clients.
Configurations that were uploaded to Archive Server by 10.2 or earlier clients need to be migrated
using the “Enterprise Scan Configuration management” tool of version 16.0.0.
Upgrade for DPCS
Automatic upgrade from previous versions of DPLES and DPCS to DPCS 16.0.0 is not supported.
Instead, uninstall the older version and install the new version.
Upgrade for .NET Connector
Enterprise Scan 16.0.0 requires .NET Connector 3.0 to connect to SAP system and this needs to be
installed explicitly by the user. IxosProxy.dll that comes with Enterprise Scan 10.5 installation is no
longer available with Enterprise Scan 16.0.0. The scripts from older clients that are based on .NET
Connector 2.0 needs to be migrated. The scripting example “Indexing for the SAP system using SAP
Nco 3.0” is available in OTDN Indexing and Scripting Guide
(https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll/open/EnterpriseScan_OTDN).

6 Performance considerations
In this chapter you can find some recommendations to enhance the performance during mass
scanning.

6.1 System configuration


6 GB RAM
CPU: Multi core
SATA AHCI (NCQ) - instead of legacy IDE
The performance boost by enabling AHCI & NCQ is mainly observed on multi-core systems.
To gain advantage from multi-core systems, enable AHCI & NCQ. Otherwise multiple cores may even
run slower than running with only one single core. It is also very important to install the latest,
specialized, official drivers from the chipset or controller vendor.

6.2 ISIS scanner configuration


When scanning B/W images:

1. Set compression for image.

2. Keep image resolution low (150 - 200 dpi) when scanning textual images.

3. Avoid using paper format as scanners maximum.

When scanning color images:

1. Set compression for image.

2. Keep image resolution low (150- 200 dpi) when scanning textual images.

OpenText Imaging Enterprise Scan 16.0.0 Release Notes


15
3. Avoid using paper format as scanners maximum.

4. Use dual stream option (emulated by software or hardware) in case no imaging operation is
required during scanning or post scanning. You can use hardware dual stream in case of high
end scanner supporting multi streaming. The performance of hardware dual stream depends
on the scanners maximum capacity of sending multi streams and number of imaging
processors it has.
If the scanner hardware does not support dual streaming, use the “Emulated by software”
option. Using dual stream also improves post scanning operations like selection change,
document operations like separate, join, merge and so on.

5. Improve scanning speed by adjusting JPEG quality factor.

6. Use auto cropping options, for example de-skew, rotate, landscape to portrait, and so on,
available in the scanner driver instead of using processing plug-ins.

7. Set paper orientation to landscape mode instead of portrait when scanning from feeder.

6.3 Processing configuration


Avoid manipulating the scanned images in processing sub profile. Instead, configure the scanner, for
example, to de-skew, crop, rotate, de-speckle and so on.
Using scripting extension plug-in with complex scripts can degrade the scanning speed.

6.4 GUI configuration


1. Set scanning mode to “page” or “background scanning” (instead of thumbnails).

2. Increase the update interval during background scanning.

3. Configure thumbnail view to show selected document.

4. Avoid Property view during background scanning.

5. Minimize the number of views that are activated during background scanning.

6. Disable undo function.

7. Decrease the size of thumbnail icons inside thumbnail configuration.

7 Known issues
The following known issues exist in this release.

Issue Name Issue Description

SCAN-3283 DPSAP 16.0: Store scanned documents with barcode into SAP
/ AS-15476
The DPSAP scenario, Store scanned documents with barcode into SAP, fails without
any error shown in “dpinfo” program
This is solved in patch DPL-1600-002 which is included in the version 16 patch
collection 2016_01 and later.

SCAN-3306 ScanBundle 16.0.0


Master installer detects incorrectly the latest redistributables required by Enterprise
Scan 16.0.0. More specifically, master installer is not checking for Microsoft Visual
C++ 2008 x86 redistributable (VCRuntime_9.0). This redistributable is however
required by Enterprise Scan 16.0.0 and is checked by the installer for Enterprise Scan
16.0.0 itself. Therefore, the installer might report the missing runtime even if the
master installer reports all prerequisites are present in the system. By installing the
required runtime (VCRuntime_9.0) all prerequisites are satisfied and the installation
will complete successfully.

SCAN-1232 Upgrade restrictions if same installation directory is used


Upgrade from 10.0.0 or 10.2.0 to 16.0.0 into the same installation directory is not
supported. The upgrade fails with an error stating that installer has insufficient
privileges.
To upgrade from 10.0.0 either first uninstall the old version or select a different
directory for installation.
Upgrading from 10.2.0 works as expected if patch ESC-1020-003 or later is installed
before running the 16.0.0 installation.

IMAG-3004 Scanning fax attachments from Lotus Notes


Scanning fax attachments from Lotus Notes is only possible from “folders”.

Lotus Notes connector


Before you start the configuration of Enterprise Scan (menu Profile < Configure), the
authentication with Lotus Notes client has to be finished, otherwise the application
freezes.
To prevent the Lotus Notes login dialog appearing every time Enterprise Scan starts,
enter the password of the Lotus Notes connector configuration.

might modify the personal MAPI profile to show the shared mailbox for incoming fax
as well. The user might move fax messages to the shared mailbox. If Enterprise
Scan is configured to use the dedicated MAPI profile to fetch fax messages, scanning
fails. To scan properly, the dedicated fax profile has to be configured not to use
“cached mode”.

IMAG-919 Rollback of compound document version produces inconsistent document


If updating attributes fails for an existing compound document, the rollback process
does not remove the newly created release and leaves the current compound
document in an inconsistent state that means without its child components.
To revert back to the previous state, from the Content Server Web interface, manually
copy the individual child components from the newly created release back to the main
compound document and then delete the inconsistent release.

SCAN-2860 UI-less operation on 64-bit environments


The interface "IXOS.ScanProcessingScript" (as documented on OTDN) is available as
32-bit interface, only.
Therefore on 64-bit environments it's required to explicitly call the 32-bit interface:
1) For any custom executable make sure to compile it as "x86" (instead of "x64" or
"AnyCPU").
2) For any VBScript file call the x86 variant of the script host:
a) For scripted execution (e.g. Windows scheduled task):
"%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\cscript.exe" "E:\Schedule\MyScanJob1.vbs"

b) For manual execution by end users:


Either create a shortcut with the target set as:
"%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\wscript.exe" "MyScanJob2.vbs"

Or create a batch file with the following contents:


@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
set "MyScanScriptToRun=MyScanJob3.vbs"
set "MyScriptHost=%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\wscript.exe"
start /b "%MyScriptHost%" "%~dp0%MyScanScriptToRun%"

brought back using undo operation.
