Install OCR Windows server

Prepare for installation

Before manual OCR Windows Server installation, you need to

• Initialize secure storage (Secrets Vault)
• Run DB migrations
• Generate configuration files for copying to OCR Windows Server.

All the commands are run on Integration Server.

To prepare for installation:

1. Run DB migrations for OCR Windows Server. To populate MSSQL database with required tables in OCR schema, run the following command:

   ./install.sh migrate ocrwin
   

2. Initialize Secrets Vault for OCR Windows Server.

   ./install.sh configure ocrwin
   

3. Generate OCR Windows Server config files and OCR certificates to be copied to OCR Windows Server while installation.

   ./install.sh generate_conf ocrwin
   

   As soon as generation is complete, go to INSTALL_DIR/distr/win_configs/ocrwin_configs to view the generated files. See the output example below.

   ls -la INSTALL_DIR/distr/win_confs/ocrwin_configs
   total 24
   drwxr-xr-x. 2 wfuser wfuser  100 Jun 13 07:44 .
   drwxr-xr-x. 3 wfuser wfuser   28 Jun 13 07:44 ..

Install OCR Windows Server

To install OCR Windows Server:

1. Extract all files from the OCRInstaller-{version}.zip to any folder on your Windows PC.

2. Go to INSTALL_DIR/distr/win_configs/ocrwin_configs and copy all the generated config files to the folder with the extracted OCR installer on the Windows machine.

   

   If you use the self-signed certificates, ca.cert must be imported into Local Machine's Certificate TrustStore > the Trusted Root Certificates Authorities section. For more information, see Import Root or Intermediate CA to Store.

3. Launch OCR Installer. Click Options to specify the installation location.

   

   Wait until the installation process is finished.

4. Restart all services.

5. Activate OCR License.

Configure Nginx on Windows machines

The section describes using a secure connection between OCR and Workfusion Services.

Skip the step, if the setup does not use TLS encryption.

Configure Windows Firewall

1. In Windows Firewall, create a new rule. Allow inbound SSL secure connection to applications on the OCR server.

   

   

2. Define the local port 443 to allow the connection.
