2 System requirements

The system requirements for uniFLOW are as follows:

2.1 Software

2.1.1 Operating Systems

Installations of the uniFLOW Server system on client operating systems arenot supported by NT-ware.

We recommend installing uniFLOW and the RPS on dedicated servers.

Installations on Domain Controllers (DC) and Small Business Servers (SBS)are not supported.

Windows Server 2000:

Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.5 or higher

Internet Explorer 6 or higher required (Internet Explorer 7 or higher recommended).

Note that the Windows Server 2000 support from Microsoft has beendiscontinued. For that reason there is limited support by NT-ware with regardsto problems within the operating system.


Internet Information Server (IIS) 6.0 or higher

Internet Explorer 6 or higher required (Internet Explorer 7 or higher recommended).


(a standard installation with a graphical user interface)

Internet Information Server (IIS) 7.0 (prepared for a uniFLOW installation)

Internet Explorer 7 or higher recommended

Windows Server 2008 requires at least a SQL Server 2005 Express edition orhigher with a pre-installed uniFLOW database, if the database should run onthe same server.

Software

INS

TA

LL

AT

ION

2.1.2 Optional Software

Database

o If the SQL Server 2005 Express edition (max. storage capacity 4GB) capacity is notbig enough, a separate Microsoft SQL Server license is required.The following Microsoft SQL Server versions are recommended for uniFLOW:

SQL Server 2000 (32-bit or 64-bit) + latest service pack



LDAP

o The following LDAP servers have been tested in conjunction with uniFLOW and arerecommended by NT-ware. Any other similar software should work with uniFLOW buthas not been tested by NT-ware.

Microsoft Windows 2003/2008 Active Directory LDAP

Microsoft Windows 2003/2008 Active Directory LDAP over SSL

Novell NDS

If you plan to use different, other than the LDAP software listed above, NT-warewould need to check the compatibility first.

PDF previews require an Adobe® Acrobat Distiller or the uniFLOW Job ConversionInstance module.

ION

2.2 Hardware

This topic describes the minimum recommended hardware requirements for the uniFLOWServer and the RPS.

Actual requirements will vary based on your system configuration and the applications andfeatures you choose to install. Processor performance is not only dependent on the clockfrequency of the processor, but the number of cores and the size of the processor cache.Disk space requirements for the system partition, mentioned below, are approximaterecommendations.

As the uniFLOW Server system and the RPS are modular systems and theusage of certain functionalities and modules varies from customer tocustomer, it might be neccesary to have even better hardware than what hasbeen recommended below. This especially applies to systems with a locallyinstalled database, several used JCI (Job Conversion Instance) licenses, aninstalled uniFLOW Scan Processing Server on the uniFLOW Server etc.

Minimum hardware requirements:

oCPU

Systems with a Single Core CPU – x86 / x64 with a 2.5 GHz minimum clock speed

oRAM

4 GB

oHard Disk Drive

Minimum of 50 GB of free disk space

Recommended hardware requirements:

oCPU

Systems with a Multi Core CPU – x86 / x64 with a 1.5 GHz minimum clock speed

Systems with Multiple Physical CPUs – x86 / x64 with a 1.5 GHz minimum clockspeed

oRAM

4 GB

oHard Disk Drive

Minimum of 80 GB of free disk space

2.3 Analyzable Printer Languages and Drivers

Analyzable printer languages:

The information, to what extent job features expressed in a certain page descriptionlanguage by a particular printer driver which will be detected by uniFLOW or not, can beretrieved in detail from the DIF (Device Information Files) portal.

3 Preparation

Please disable the virus scanner on the uniFLOW Server, so that it does notscan the following folders:

uniFLOW / RPS / Internet Gateway installation folder and all subfolders

oNote that the uniFLOW installation folder is split into two folders:

C:\Program Files\uniFLOW

C:\Program Files\Common Files\NT-ware Shared

the data folder of the SQL Server

the system temp folder

the spool folder

Otherwise it could happen that uniFLOW respectively the RPS and the virusscanner access the same files at the same time, which could lead to severalerrors.

Please choose the desired destination folder or confirm the default destination folder here.

In the following installation screen you have the possibility to choose between two setuptypes:

uniFLOW is based on the Microsoft SQL Server for storing configuration and accountingdata. uniFLOW is shipped with a license-free version of the SQL Server, the SQL Server2005. This database is limited to 4 GB data which suffices for a normal installation.

For standard installations it is strongly recommended to install uniFLOW AND SQL 2005Express Edition.

During the installation of the SQL 2005 Express you will have to enter the destination folderfor the SQL 2005 Express.

12

INS

TA

LL

5 Installation of uniFLOW only (connecting to an existingSQL database)

If an existing local or external Microsoft SQL Server is required, ensure thatthe System Administrator (SA) account has been created with a password.This password is mandatory for uniFLOW. If this has not been set up, theuniFLOW database cannot be created via the uniFLOW setup routine.

If you want to connect uniFLOW with an existing local or external SQL Server pleasechoose uniFLOW Only in the setup routine and click Next.

In the next window you have to decide where the database is located. Please choose theappropriate option here.

14

INS

TA

LL

AT

ION

If you choose External SQL Server on the Network, the installation process will ask youthe IP address or the name of the external SQL Server.

Type in the server name or its IP address and click on Next. The installation process willnow test the connection to the entered server.

The next windows are the same for both connecting with an external server on this machineor a server on the network. If the SQL Server you have specified is not initialized, the nextscreen appears.

15

INS

ION

The SQL Server can be initialized automatically, by providing a logon user name andpassword, which has administrative access to the SQL Server, typically the systemadministrator account.

Note that this password is only used to initialize the SQL Server and will not bestored.

If a uniFLOW database already exists, the next window will not appear and the installationprocess automatically takes you further to the final step.

Alternatively you can initialize the SQL Server yourself, by downloading andexecuting the SQL script from:

http://www.nt-ware.com/mom/sql/momdb.sql

This script automatically creates the uniFLOW database. You can execute it for exampleby using the SQL Query Analyzer or by using the following OSQL command line:

osql /E /i momdb.sql

The installation process will continue by asking you to select a program folder.

http://www.nt-ware.com/mom/sql/momdb.sql

16

INS

9 Activating your software

After installation, the software will work without registration in demonstration mode (after 50print jobs you will have to restart the services). To access the full working version ofuniFLOW, you have to activate the software in the Activation menu of the Module Config.by means of an activation code. This activation code is a code generated by the NT-warelicensing portal and is based on the software license code, the system ID of the PC onwhich the software is installed and the actual version of the uniFLOW software. To obtainan activation code you should proceed as follows.

If you have purchased a uniFLOW Basic Server License for a Workgroup / Business /Corporate or Enterprise Edition together with one or more uniFLOW modules, you firsthave to activate the Basic Edition and then follow the same procedure for each moduleseparately.

The Basic Server License comes with one module included.

11 uniFLOW Update Wizard

If you want to upgrade from uniFLOW V4.1 or higher, you can use theuniFLOW Update Wizard.

If you want to upgrade from a uniFLOW version older than V4.1, you cannotuse the uniFLOW Update Wizard due to the modified file structure ofuniFLOW. To update from older versions, please read the document "How toupgrade to uniFLOW V4.1". Once you have upgraded your older version toV4.1 , use the uniFLOW Update Wizard to upgrade from V4.1 to V5.0.

It is possible to upgrade RPS´s to V5.0 with the uniFLOW Update Wizard.

We strongly recommend that you contact NT-ware if you want to upgrade froma version older than V4.0, whether it's an upgrade of the uniFLOW Server, anRPS or both.

If you want to update your system, we highly recommend updating theuniFLOW Server, as well as all RPS´s. Keep in mind that you need to updatethe uniFLOW Server first and then the RPS´s after that. We do not recommendusing different versions of the uniFLOW Server and the connected RPS´s.

Note that cluster installations are different from the above mentioned. Pleaserefer to the respective cluster manual.

You can easily update your uniFLOW version to the latest available software version bymeans of the uniFLOW Update Wizard. With the Update Wizard there is no need touninstall the previous version and manually reinstall a later version, everything isautomatically taken care of by the Update Wizard.

Generally, the uniFLOW Update Wizard can be used to:

update a Standard Line installation to a later Standard Line installation

update a Project Line installation to a later Project Line installation

update a Standard Line installation to a later Project Line installation

Please note that it is generally not possible to use the uniFLOW UpdateWizard to update a Project Line to any Standard Line, because importantfeatures which are needed in a project installation might be lost after theupdate.

The Update Wizard is available alongside the normal latest version – they both ship with anew software package and are also available on the normal download sites – so you canchoose, whether you want to do a new installation or update an existing uniFLOW versionvia the Wizard.

34

INS

TA

LL

AT

ION

You must have system administrator rights to be able to perform an update:upon execution, the Update Wizard will check if the executing user hasadministrative rights before it will actually start replacing files in an installation.Moreover, the Update Wizard will check the available hard disk space: forsecurity reasons (a backup of all affected files is made before the updatestarts) at least one Gigabyte of free hard disk space is necessary in order to beable to perform an update. With regards to updating Server Clusterinstallations, please note that it is not possible to use the Update Wizard, anupdate to a later version has to be performed manually. In case the updatingof a Server Cluster installation is attempted with the Update Wizard, thesoftware will detect this circumstance and terminate its execution with acorresponding warning message.

When you start the uniFLOW Update Wizard the following screen appears and you will beguided through the update procedure.

The Update Wizard automatically creates a backup of the current installation in thefollowing folder:

[uniFLOW installation folder]\_MupBkp\[wizard execution timestamp]_[currentlyinstalled kernel version]\

A protocol file with the name _log.csv can also be found in this backup folder. This file canbe viewed with Microsoft Excel or a text editor.

If you have customized certain files for your old installation, these files will be stored in anewly created todo folder: [uniFLOW installation folder]\_todo\.

In this folder you will also find a descriptive text file containing customization instructions.The name of this text file is update_[wizard execution timestamp]_[currently installedkernel version]_[update package kernel version].txt.

12 Upgrade from uniFLOW SSP

This chapter describes how to upgrade from uniFLOW Serverless Secure Printing(uniFLOW SSP) to uniFLOW V5.0.

The upgrade procedure can be split into two steps:

1) Uninstall uniFLOW SSP

a) Uninstall uniFLOW SSP from all client machines.

b) Leave the MEAP applets untouched on each Canon device. The “old” MEAP appletlicenses you’ve used with uniFLOW SSP can be used in uniFLOW without any furtherlicensing procedures.

2) Install the uniFLOW Server

a) Install the uniFLOW Server. Refer to the uniFLOW Installation Manual and theuniFLOW Manual.

b) Once uniFLOW has been installed, you can start configuring the secure printworkflows and printers.

The number of possible MEAP applet licenses with SSP is five. All five MEAP applets canbe used within uniFLOW.

Note that these MEAP licenses are not shown on the uniFLOW Info page.

For each additional MEAP enabled Canon device, you will need a separateMEAP license.

13 Activating a Project Access Pack (PAP) License

A Project Access Pack is required if you get a project build or a project kernel of uniFLOWfor some special features which are already developed, but not officially released. Ingeneral, those features are developed for your special requirements. Those functions willofficially be available in one of the next uniFLOW releases.

A Project Access Pack is not required if you use a standard release of uniFLOW or aservice release.

The Project Access Pack prevents mixing the required project build with a normal servicerelease. Since a service release does not include special functions of a project build, butonly bug fixes for a major version, it is not possible to install a normal service release on aproject build, because this would delete or disable the special functions of a project build.An activated PAP license prevents this.

The installation of a project kernel and the activation of a PAP license shouldonly be done by authorized and trained personnel.

If you have a pre-installed uniFLOW version and you want to change to a project build,please proceed as follows:

Stop the uniFLOW services.

Replace the uniFLOW kernel with the project kernel.

Start the services.

Open a command promt and register the DsPcSrv.exe. To do so, type:C:\Program Files\Common Files\NT-ware Shared>dspcsrv.exe /regserver

Open the uniFLOW Server Web. The first page informs you about the kernel which iscurrently installed.

14 System ID-Dongle (USB only)

It is possible to purchase a system-ID dongle along with your uniFLOW software. Thesystem-ID dongle is merely a replacement of the system-ID of the PC for activationpurposes. In this case, the activation code that will be generated by the NT-ware LicensePortal is not bound to the ID of the computer, but to the ID of the dongle, thus allowing youto move the license between different computers.

The following paragraph gives detailed information on how to activate your system viaSystem ID Dongle.

14.1 Step-by-Step Instructions for an Activation via System IDDongle

1. Install the Dongle Software from:C:\Program Files\uniFLOW\Support\Dongle\SSD5411.32bit.exe
