14.2. LincDoc Connector to Laserfiche

1. Verify a 32 bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed (even if the OS is 64 bit). Type java -version from a Windows command prompt. You will see a version number if a JRE is installed. If you see 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command then you will have to search the c: drive for java.exe, cd into the java.exe's directory (screenshot below), then rerun the command. What you should NOT see is something like java version "1.6.0_18" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_18-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode) << note how this specifically says "64-Bit".
   
2. Verify the JRE's automatic updates are turned off:
1. Open your Control Panel and select the Java icon.
2. On the Update tab, uncheck the "Check for Updates Automatically" check box.
3. Select Never Check on the warning dialog message.
4. Select OK to save your changes.
5. Verify that the setting was changed by selecting the Java icon and viewing its setting.
3. If a SSL certificate has not been installed to the LincDoc VM:
1. Go to the LincWare System Administrator page.
2. Go to the "download .exe to install SSL certificates for Java on Windows" section and click on the link.
3. A new window will open with further installation instructions and a download button.
4. Download and run the install-.lincware.com-https-cert-java-32.exe file from lwsa.
4. Download the connector_setup.exe from here.
5. Run connector_setup.exe.
6. Click Next> or set the install path location (default: C:\Program Files\LincWare\Connector).
7. Click install to install the Windows service.
8. Click Next> on the LincDoc Connector Setup: Completed screen.
9. Click Close to close the setup and launch the Connector configuration screen.

Note: if the LincDoc Connector configuration screen does not launch it is because a valid Java Runtime Environment is not installed.

LincDoc Connector - Service Configuration

The LincDoc Connector - Service Configuration is a small Java application which allows an administrator to start and stop the 3rd party windows service, as well as configure the LincDoc connector.

The first thing to do upon executing the configuration application is to set the URL of your LincDoc VM. Select Test to determine if the URL that you have entered is correct, and that the LincDoc server is running. The next step is to ensure that the Windows Service is registered. To check this, look at the Status information. If the connector is registered, the status will be either Stopped or Running.

Note: When the connector is installed, it should automatically register the service. However, if it is unregistered for any reason, simply click Register to register the service with windows.

LincDoc Connector Components

The LincDoc connector has two components to its configuration, a handler and a connector. A handler defines the configuration of the local system LincDoc needs to write to. In this case, Laserfiche is the local system. The handler defines the server, path locations, and user credentials used to access the Laserfiche system. The connector defines the configuration parameters for connecting to the LincDoc system. Once both of these components are defined, the handler can be mapped to an individual connector.

LincDoc Server Connector Configuration

1. Install the LincDoc Connector (see above).
2. Login to LincDoc as the admin user.
3. Press the Administrator icon in the upper right portion of the window, then switch client ID; choose the appropriate client ID.
4. Select >system>connectors from the admin UI menu (towards the upper right portion of the window).
5. On this screen, type in the ID for a new connector and click Add to create it. Note: connector IDs are case sensitive.
6. Once the connector is added, right click on the connector. You should see something similar to this: 
7. Select View passphrase to create a new password. You will need to copy and paste this password into the configuration screen for this connector.

Using the connector to view connection status

Once the connector is configured, you can use LincDoc to view any sessions using the connection. Additionally, you can set up a monitor to send out an alert if the connector can no longer communicate with the external system. Both of these actions are accomplished through LincDoc's connector menu.

• Log into LincDoc.
• Select >system>connectors.
• Click on the connector on which you want to set up a monitor or view current sessions.
• Select either the Monitors or Sessions tab.
• To set up a monitor:
  1. Click on the Add button to add a monitor recipient.
  2. Enter an email address to receive notifications.
  3. Set the Timeout (in seconds) - this is the amount of time that must elapse from communication is lost before the monitor starts to send out alerts.
  4. Set the Repeat (optional) - this is how long the monitor will wait before attempting to reconnect and send out a new alert.
