eCopy Connector for Xerox DocuShare
The eCopy DocuShare connector allows users to scan documents directly into Xerox DocuShare system from an eCopy-enabled device in any supported document format.
To be able to use this connector with the Email and folder watching service, you need to create a profile in such a way that it does not require user interaction (express). To ensure that your connector profile set this way, configure only one destination with the following settings:
- Under Logon settings of the Authentication tab, set the value of Login Mode to Login as.
- In the Navigation tab, select Specify as Behavior, and then select a Location, or
- Choose Auto select using location path or Auto select using location handle as Behavior, and select a key for Data Publishing key to select location.
- In the Document types tab, enable Retrieve Document type from Data Publishing and select a key for Data Publishing key to select document type, or
- Configure only one document type.
- Ensure that the configured document type(s) has/have the properties that are set not to be shown (clear the Show check box on the Configure '<document type name>' document type dialog box).
- Ensure that the Encryption connector setting has the User Modify parameter set to No (clear the Yes check box).
- Ensure that the
Document Name connector setting is configured as follows:
-
It is set to the Default File Name value, or
-
Its value is Specify name... with the User Modify option off (clear the Yes check box), or
-
Used Advanced File Naming..., where all fields have the User Modify option off (in the Field Editor dialog box).
-
The connector associated with the routing Watcher workflow needs to create output files matching the file type of the routed documents. If you want to route several different file formats, it is recommended that you set up one connector profile - rule pair for each format.
For the generic connector configuration options, see Configure connector profile.

Set the method for resolving document title conflicts when a document with the same title as of the scanned document already exists:

Append to the existing document options are supported only in case
of PDF and PDF/A output file formats ( ). If you select an output file format other than PDF or PDF/A, an error message appears after
you click the
Save Current Profile button.
The Ignore title case option determines that the check for an existing document by title should be case sensitive or not. When the Use JSP page to find documents option is selected, the connector uses a custom JSP script to find documents by title. Sometimes, the search does not find the document with the same title, even though one does exist as certain DocuShare servers might take some time to index existing document. This option is useful for these cases. To use this option, the eCopy_FindFile.jsp file located in the %programdata%\Tungsten\ShareScan\Connectors\DocuShareConnector\Data folder must be installed on the DocuShare server (see How to install custom JSP Page(s) on DocuShare server). |
Destination settings: Document types tab
This tab enables you to configure the document types that are available to the user to select for the scanned document(s) and the document properties for the user to specify for the scanned document(s) at the device.
