    Application Server Setting

    Description

    watchFolder

    This setting contains the path to the folder containing the Data Set XML files.

    Note:

    The location specified by this path must be accessible from the Application Server and the data entry workstations, but does not need to be accessible from the Front Office Scanning workstations.

    siteIDKeywordType

    This setting specifies the Keyword Type whose Keyword Values are used for site-based Data Set filtering.

    For more information on this setting, see Configuring Site-Based Data Set Filtering.

    cleanupTimerInterval

    To prevent unused and unneeded Data Sets from accruing in the network location, unused Data Sets stored in the network location are automatically configured to expire after a specified number of hours.

    The Application Server is configured to poll the network location (i.e., the folder specified by the watchFolder setting) at regular intervals to delete expired Data Sets. By default, the Application Server polls the network location every 15 minutes.

    To increase or decrease this amount of time, set the cleanupTimerInterval setting to the amount of time (in minutes) allowed to pass before the Application Server polls the network location for expired Data Sets.

    Note:

    Ensure that this setting is set to an appropriate length of time. Be aware that a Data Set is still be available to the Front Office Scanning workstation after it expires if the Application Server has not yet polled the network location and deleted its Data Set XML file.

    maxFileAgeinHours

    This setting specifies the lifespan of Data Sets (in hours) stored in the network location.

    After a Data Set's lifespan expires, the Data Set XML file will be deleted the next time the Application Server polls the network location where the Data Sets are stored.

    Once the Data Set XML file is deleted, the Data Set is no longer available to the Front Office Scanning workstations.

    Note:

    A Data Set is still be available to the Front Office Scanning workstation after it expires if the Application Server has not yet polled the network location and deleted its Data Set XML file.

  4. Set the watchFolder, cleanupTimerInterval, and maxFileAgeinHours settings as needed.
  5. Save and close the Application Server's web.config file.
