Scaling OCR
In a typical deployment there is just 1 OCR instance. It's possible to add more instances combining them into a single cluster without additional configuration on Control Tower.
This guide assumes that the user is already familiar with the WorkFusion installation procedure.
Primary Server
Install as per regular installation guide. Concurrent executions can be configured here.
Secondary Server
The main idea is to add the OCR Worker component by installing the full OCR component pointing to the existing DB server.
See the OCR License section.
Prerequisites
- DB Server is installed.
- Primary OCR is installed.
Configuration and installation
Refer to OCR Server installation.
Workers should point to the same MongoDB instance.
Remember to configure ocr.health.worker.name to for OCR Health Check.
For validation:
- Check that the Worker process is started without errors (
ocr-worker.log). - Load a few documents to OCR Server. The ocr-task process should be started, and
ocr-task.logshould be created (on both primary and secondary servers).
