This page describes the setup of an independent OCR appliance for use with the Extended DMS environment. DMS will access the OCR appliance and issue commands so that OCR is performed. The advantages are that the DMS appliance's resources (CPU, RAM) are thus not consumed by the OCR processing.

OCRKit is a low cost multi language OCR utility with good performance and output quality. While OCRKit is available for MacOS  and Windows, the current guide only explains a setup using the MacOS version given the current Windows version does not include CLI access.

Components and setup required:

  1. Recent version of MacOS X running in VM or on bare metal and recent version of OCRKit installed. Sharing setup to allow remote administration using ssh from the DMS appliance's console.

 

 

 

 

 

Scripts:

  1. Fork Default template to client specific repository with <clientname>;

  2. Edit configuration files in client specific git repository as required for specific client’s DMS environment – make sure changes are pushed to repository;

     

    git clone ssh://git@stash.practiceinsight.io:7999/dmsclient/${clientname}.git ~/deploy/config

  3. Clone deploy script repository to ~/deploy/deploy_script/ to store deploy script logic files;

     

    git clone ssh://git@stash.practiceinsight.io:7999/dmsclient/deploy_script.git ~/deploy/deploy_script

  4. Clone restore script repository to ~/deploy/restore_script/ to store restore script logic files;

     

    git clone ssh://git@stash.practiceinsight.io:7999/dmsclient/restore_script.git ~/deploy/restore_script

Steps to create empty nuxeo repository:

Go to the  ~/deploy/restore_script/ and run "./create.sh" script.

After successful finish of the script you will have an empty nuxeo repository with Patricia workspace created with proper permissions and a settings.xml template for client environment specific modification.

The DMS containers can now be deployed and the DMS started up by cd'ing into  ~/deploy/deploy_script/ folder and running "./deploy.sh" with necessary options. For options, see here.

Steps to restore from backup (Transfer from non-zc to zc):

Go to ~/deploy/restore_script/ to modify config.sh configuration file to specify the paths to the backup files, and run "./create.sh" script.

After successful finish of the script you will have a DMS restored from the backup.

The DMS containers can now be deployed and the DMS started up by cd'ing into  ~/deploy/deploy_script/ folder and running "./deploy.sh" with necessary options. For options, see here.
