From the Administration application you can configure general administrative
options such as setting the document file store path and the document
retention period.
Complete the following steps to configure the options.
From the EOM Console navigation
pane, select the Administration
application.
Use the EOM
instance name box to change the instance name, if necessary. The
default name is Barr EOM. The instance name is used with licensing and
association with an SQL server.
Use
the Use disconnected mode check
box to determine if Barr EOM will operate in a disconnected mode when
the database or the Barr EOM
DBM Service is unavailable (i.e. a fatal error occurs, network connectivity
is lost, etc). In disconnected mode, sources and destinations continue
to process documents. Once documents are received, they are either routed
to an assigned destination (if configured on the Output
settings tab) or held as unrouted. When the database or service becomes
available, full operation will resume automatically.
Use the Save
accounting information check box to save or discard accounting
information. Accounting information is saved by default.
Use the Save
auditing information check box to determine if you want to save
auditing information in the Audit
Console. Audit information focuses on security-related actions performed
by users. Auditing information is saved by default.
Use the Retaindocuments check box to enable/disable
document retention. When you enable the retain feature, documents are
saved to the retain folder after they print or are deleted from the EOM
Console. If you do not want to save deleted or printed documents, disable
the retain feature. Documents are retained by default.
If you are retaining documents,
set the Default retention period
using the spin box. The default period is 7 days.
If you are retaining documents,
specify the Maximum retain size
using the spin box. The default maximum is 100,000 documents. If the maximum
value is reached, Barr EOM performs a cleanup routine to remove the oldest
documents. This will reduce the document count to match the maximum number
of documents.
Specify the Maximum
message log size using the spin box. The default maximum is 10,000
entries. If the maximum value is reached, Barr EOM performs a cleanup
routine to remove the oldest messages. This will reduce the message count
to match the maximum number of messages.
In the Output
history period box, specify the number of days that will be saved
in the Destination Output
History window. The default period is 60 days.
Configure
the Global destination capabilities.
This determines which print preferences/document properties are supported
throughout Barr EOM. You can configure these settings manually or import
settings from an existing PFD (Printer Family Definition) or CSD (Command
Set Definition). To configure the properties manually, complete the following
steps.
Next to Global
destination capabilities, click Configure.
The Global Destination
Capabilities dialog box is displayed. All of the document properties
available in Barr EOM are listed and grouped into the following categories:
Basic options, Media selection, Document, Image adjustments, Finishing,
and Other properties. To expand a category and view the associated properties,
click the down arrow next to a category name. To collapse a category,
click the up arrow.
Expand the appropriate
category. All of the document properties that belong to that category
are listed. Select the check boxes for properties you want to be available
for configuration throughout Barr EOM. Clear the check boxes for properties
you do not want to be available.
If a property is configured by selecting from a list of
options, those options will display beneath the property. Select and clear
the check boxes to determine the choices that will be available when those
properties are configured.
Repeat this step until all properties are configured.
Here is an example of how to configure
the Resolution property so users can only select a Resolution of 75, 100,
or 150. First, expand the Basic options
category by clicking the down arrow next to the category name. Next, select
the check box next to the Resolution
property. This will make the property available for configuration
throughout Barr EOM. Finally, under the Resolution property select the
check boxes next to the options you want to be available for selection.
In this example, you would select the check boxes next to 75, 100, and
150. Clear the check boxes next to the remaining Resolution options.
When all properties are
configured, click OK.
You can further restrict these options
for individual destinations by configuring Destination
specific capabilities from the destination's More
settings tab.
The Document
file storepath grid lists
all of the configured file stores on this Barr EOM database. The Barr
EOM database only stores the properties of a document. The actual files
are stored in network folders, called file stores. Use the following procedures
to configure the file stores.
To add a file store,
click Add. From the File
Store dialog box, enter the network folder path where the Barr EOM
files are stored or click Browse button to select a folder. The Barr
EOM DBM Service will need to have permissions assigned to access the
selected network folder. Verify the file store folder does not contain
any empty folders. Empty folders in the file store folder will be deleted
with the EOM cleanup process runs.
To select a default
file store, in the grid click the Default
check box cell for the appropriate file store. The default file
store will be used when a file store has not been specified. By default
sources are configured to use the default file store on the More
settings tab. If you change the default file store in the grid, all
sources using the default will also be updated.
To modify a file
store, select a file store in the grid and click Edit.
The File Store dialog box is displayed.
To view usage details
of the drive where the file store is located, select a file store in the
grid and click Details.
To remove a file
store, select file store with a status of New
and click Remove. You can only
remove file stores with a New
status.
Here is an example of how to configure
the Resolution property so users can only select a Resolution of 75, 100,
or 150. First, expand the Basic options
category by clicking the down arrow next to the category name. Next, select
the check box next to the Resolution
property. This will make the property available for configuration
throughout Barr EOM. Finally, under the Resolution property select the
check boxes next to the options you want to be available for selection.
In this example, you would select the check boxes next to 75, 100, and
150. Clear the check boxes next to the remaining Resolution options.
