Database size
Database installation automatically creates a data-
base that can will expand up to 4 GB. Further expan-
sion is done by adding additional File Specifications
(FileSpecs) to the solid. ini file.
Below is the default configuration which creates 4
FileSpecs of 1 GB each (4 GB total):
[IndexPile)
i*** DATABASE FILES ***
Pilespec 1=C:\Solid\golid.db 1000m ;filepath & maximum size in
_2=C1\Solid\solid.2 100
=C:\Solid\solid.3 1000m
=C:\Solid\solid.4 1000m
If the database will need to expand beyond 4 GB,
additional FileSpecs can be added. Additional
FileSpecs can be added at any time.
IMPORTANT:
If a previous version DIW database exists which will
be converted to the DIW 2.5 database, the DIW 2.5
database must be configured with adequate
FileSpecs so that itis large enough to store the con-
verted data and also have enough space for future
storage needs.
1. Open the solid.ini file in Notepad.
2. Create one or more new FileSpec entries below:
the last one. (refer to bold text in example below)

2. Close the solid.ini file and save the changes. The
changes will be active after stopping Solid and
restarting it.
The number at the end of each FileSpec line is the
maximum file size. The maximum size that is possible
per FileSpec is 2 GB. You may use abbreviations k
for kilobyte and m for megabyte after the number.
Note that the FileSpec number must be incremented
by 1 for each new FileSpec and that the file name
must be unique (e.g. solid.5, solid.6, etc.) Itis highly
recommended to use the full path name in the
FileSpec.
IMPORTANT:
Do not create FileSpecs to allow the size of the data-
base to exceed the amount of free disk space.
NOTE:
File Specifications can be located on any hard disk in
the server, they do not need to be in the same folder
or hard disk. Be sure to specify the full path name
including drive letter and folder name. Solid will not
create folders for you.
WARNING:
Do not place FileSpecs on remote drives or on other
computers that are accessed over the network. All
FileSpecs must be located on one or more local hard
drives in the server PC.
Changing the backup directory
The BackupDirectory line defines the folder in which
Solid stores backups of the databases.
** BACKUP LOCATION *++
ckupDirectory=C:\Solid\backup
jackupDirectory=
1. Ifyou wish to change the default backup directory
toa different location, first create the new folder
and then modify the BackupDirectory line in
solid.ini. Note that Solid will not create folders for
you.

2. Close the solid. ini file and save the changes. The
changes will be active after stopping Solid and
restarting it.
IMPORTANT!
The Solid database backup only creates a backup
copy of the database to the specified folder. Itis
important to backup this copy to tape or other remov-
able media on a daily basis.
IMPORTANT:
itis the user's responsibilty to verify that the backup
is fully functional. The user must also verity that there
is enough free disk space in the new backup location
to contain copies of the database (all FileSpecs and
og files).
Scheduling database backup
The default backup time is 01:00 (1:00 AM).
[sev]
;Backup done each night at 01:00
Ate01:00 backup
The time format is 24 hour format.
1. To change database backup time edit the existing
time.
._ Close the solid.ini file and save the changes. The
changes will be active after stopping Solid and
restarting it.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to schedule the Solid backup so it will finish
it's process before the backup to tape or other re-
movable media is scheduled to run. If the Solid
backup process has not finished when the tape or
other removable media backup starts, the database
may not get backed up to removable media.

4.3 Converting DfW 2.5 (Rev 0) network databases
The database converter SOLConvertD is also used to
convert (copy) a previous DfW 2.5 Rev 0 database to
anew DIW 2.5 Rev 1 database.
SOLConvertD copies images and data from a DfW
2.5 Rev 0 database (source) to anew DiW 2.5 Rev 1
database (target). After conversion, the DIW 2.5 Rev
O source database remains on the hard disk and can
be deleted when it is no longer needed. It is recom-
mended to make a backup copy of the source
database for long-term archive purposes before
deleting it.
If datais stored in the DIW 2.5 database but the
images are stored outside the database in folder(s),
SOLConverD will copy the data in the DIW 2.5 data-
base to the DIW 2.5 database but leave the images
in their original location outside the database.
NOTE:
Solid database files used by DfW are binary compat-
ible across operating systems, but the log files are
not. For example, you can copy the database file(s)
from Novell NetWare to Windows NT and run them in
‘Solid on Windows NT. Please note that the Solid
version must be the same. Solid 2.2 database files
are not compatible with Solid 4.2.
Prerequisites for the database conversion:
- Both DfW 2.5 Rev 0 (source) and DfW 2.5 Rev 1
(target) databases must be running.
All DfW clients in workstation PCs are closed.
Both databases must have a unique database
listening number. By default, DIW 2.5 Rev 0 ver-
sions use 1313 and DIW 2.5 Rev 1 uses 1315.
Changes are not needed unless the default num-
bers were changed. For information on modifying
the listening number, refer to section 3.4.

Enough free disk space is available. A MINIMUM
of 3.5X the size of the existing database is re-
quired for conversion and immediately following
the conversion. After conversion is finished and
the first Solid backup is run, a minmum of 1.5X is
needed.
By default, DIW 2.5 Rev 1 allocates 4 GB size for
the database. If the source database is larger
than 4 GB, then additional FileSpecs must be
added to the target database's Solid. ini file
and Solid re-started before using the data-
base converter. If the source database is larger
than 4 GB and enough FileSpecs are not added
to the Solid.ini ile prior to starting the conversion
process, the conversion will not complete suc-
cessfully. Refer to section 3.4 for information on
how to increase the database size.
Do not open DfW during the conversion process.
Do not run any CPU intensive applications on the
PC where you are running the database converter
until after conversion is finished.
Additional RAM above the minimum DiW require-
ments may be needed in the PC where the con-
verter is run especially with large network
databases. In some cases 1 GB of RAM may be
needed.
In the PC used for the conversion process, make
sure the Windows pagefile size is configured for
at least 2.5X the amount of RAM installed in the
PC. Ina typical PC with 512 MB or RAM, the
pagefile size should be 1280 MB. The minimum
and maximum size of the pagefile should be the
same. If you are unsure about setting the pagefile
size, refer to the Microsoft Windows documenta-
tion for information regarding setting the pagefile
size or consult your computer administrator.

NOTE:
It images are stored in a folderin the source data-

IMPORTANT:
Depending on the size of the source database, the
conversion process could take many hours. If the
source database backup (Solid) is scheduled to
occur during the conversion process, it should be
disabled in the Solid. ini file (and Solid re-started)
before starting the conversion. If the backup is al-

A1. Administration
A1.1 Introduction
Digora Admin is used to modify data that is common
for all users. Usually that kind of data is critical when
considering the overall system performance and
functionality. So when using Digora Admin, good
understanding of system architecture is absolutely
required.
NOTE: When any administrative task is performed,
DIW program(s) must be closed.
A1.2 Installation
Digora Admin is always installed along with Digora
for Windows single user version.
When installing Digora for Windows network version,
Digora Admin is installed to one or more client
workstations. When installing client software, the
installation application asks if Digora Admin will also
be installed. Digora Admin should be installed to
workstations used by administration personnel only.

A3. Image Media
Digora for Windows supports two methods for saving
images:
1. Saving images directly in the database. With this
option, image bitmaps are saved in the database
as BLOBs (Binary Large OBject), and database
engine takes care of all mage saving/restoring
functionality. Since image bitmaps will take
considerable hard disk space, database files will
became large.
Saving images so that the image bitmap will be
saved in a separate file. With this option, image
attributes and a reference to the image file are
saved in the database. The database engine
will take care of saving/restoring image attributes,
and Digora for Windows client application will
take care of reading image bitmaps. Since image
bitmaps are saved outside of the database,
database files will be much smaller.

See the PaloDEx Group Oy POM systom to determine the status ofthis documer. Prntod out: 26.09.08 12:49:55Digora for Windows 2.5 R2 A. Administration
When adding new images, Digora for Windows will
by default use the former option, i.e. image bitmaps
are saved directly in the database. Itis possible to
configure Digora for Windows so, that latter option is
used. For more information, see Sections 3.1 Sup-
ported Media Types, 3.4 Media Manager, and 3.7 Set
Current Folder.
In addition of giving alternatives when saving images,
Image Media functionality offers solution for another
important issue: Image Archiving. Digora for Windows
supports practically any kind of archiving media. For
more information on image archiving functionality, see
Sections 3.2 Image Archiving Scenarios, 3.3 Edit
Media Types, 3.4 Media Manager, and 3.5 Create
Media Files.
A3.1. Supported Media Types
Media types supported by Digora for Windows fall
into two categories. Only one media type belongs to
the first category: folder media type. Digora for Win-
dows supports folder media type automatically, i.e.
support for ithhas been built in Digora for Windows.
The purpose of folder media is to offer a location for
images when they are saved outside of the database
(for more information, see Section 3.7 Set Current
Folder).
All the rest of the media types, other than the folder
media type, belong to the archival media category. As
the name implies, archival media are used for image
archiving. By default, Digora for Windows supports
‘one archival media type: CD-ROM. More archival
media types may be added with Edit Media Types
function. For more information, see Section 3.3 Edit
Media Types.

A3.2. Image Archiving Scenarios
The image archiving system supported by Digora for
Windows is highly scalable. To give some idea of the
possible alternatives, low-end and high-end solutions
are described in the following.
Low-End Solution
Alow-end system consists of a standalone PC,
equipped with CD-Writer and CD-ROM drive, and
Digora for Windows single user software installed.
Images are archived relatively seldom. All images that
are going to be archived during the systems lifetime
will ton a few CD-ROM discs.
When using this kind of system, the user must change
the CD-ROM disc in CD-ROM drive when needed.
Typically, this happens when such an image is
‘opened in Digora for Windows, whose image data
has been archived to some other disc than is currently
in the CD-ROM drive.

High-End Solution
Ahigh-end system consists of multiple computers
connected with a network, server computer equipped
with CD-ROM storage system, one computer
equipped with CD-Writer, and Digora for Windows
network software installed. Images are archived
relatively often.
Administrative personnel will take care of creating
new CD-ROM discs. Always when a new CD-ROM is
created, itis placed permanently in the CD-ROM
‘storage system. When using this kind of system, all
images are available all the time.
Note that mixing both models is supported. In some
situations, itis even recommended. Specially, if
Digora for Windows single user system is used and
there is need for more than a few CD-ROM disks,
then using some CD-ROM storage system is highly
recommended.
Note also, that even in the scenarios above where
CD-ROM media type was used as an example, today
other storage systems with much higher capacity are
available.

system's archival media type information. When
clicking Edit Media Types button, Digora Admin first
reminds of the database backup, and then opens the
following window:

In the media type list, all supported archival media
types are shown. The following media type informa-
tionis displayed:
1. Name
Media type name.
. Warning Size
Used when creating media files (see Section 3.5,
Create Media Files). If total size of image bitmaps
added to image media exceeds this level, then a
warning message is displayed to the user. Wamn-
ing size should be slightly less than the media’s
full capacity.

A3.4. Media Manager
Media Manager is used to maintain the system's
image media information. Initially, after installation of
Digora for Windows, no image media information
exists in the database.
New image media records may be added and exist-
ing image media records may be modified with Im-
age Media Manager. When clicking the Media Man-
ager button, Digora Admin first reminds you of the
database backup, and then opens the following win-
dow:
\\DIW Server\CD Rack\2000 Feb CD-ROM —301MB
\NDIW Server\CD Rack\2000 Jan COROM — 475MB
\\DIW Server\CD Rack\2000 Mar CD-ROM — 506MB
Image Media Manager Window
In the image media list, all image media records
which have been added to the database are shown.
The following image media information is displayed:

|. Folder Name
Name of the folder associated with the image
media. When Digora for Windows needs to
access image data, it reads it from this folder.
See the following paragraph ‘Folder Name
Format’ below for more information on the recom-
menced folder name format.
2. Volume Label
Volume label of the image media. Volume label is
used in low-end systems only, in high-end systems
the volume label should be left empty. See para-
graph ‘What happens if image data is not found’
for more information of the meaning of this
parameter.
. Type
Image media type. Two image media types are
predefined, CD-ROM and folder.
|. Size
Total size of image files moved so far to the im-
age media.
Folder Name Format
In Windows, there are two alternatives for giving path
names:
1. Local name consisting of drive letter, colon,
backslash, and subfolder names separated with
backslashes. If the name refers to root folder, then
name consists only of drive letter, colon and
backslash. Example 1: C:\Windows\System.
Example 2 (root folder): C:\
. Universal Naming Convention name (UNC name).
UNC names are computer independent, i.e. in
local area network the same resource is identified
the same way in all computers.

Digora for Windows 2.5 R2
UNC name consists of two backslashes, compu-
tername and shared resource name separated
with backslash, and subfolder names separated
with backslashes.
Example: \\DfW Server\CD Rack\2000 Jan. In the
example ‘DfW Server’ is computer name, ‘CD
Rack’ is the name of shared resource, and ‘2000
Jan’ is a subfolder name.
When entering a folder name for an image media in
Digora Admin, the rule is straightforward:
1. In single user version, local names should be
used.
2. Innetwork version, UNC names should be used.
What happens if image data is not found
When opening an image in Digora for Windows, and
image data cannot be read, then one of the following
messages is shown:

‘Messages shown if image data cannot be read
The first two messages are shown in low-end systems.
(for more information, see Section 3.2 Image Archiv-
ing Scenarios). The first message is shown if there is
a disk in the media drive, but itis not the correct one.
User is asked to change the disk.
The second message is usually shown if there is no
disk in the media drive at all. User is asked to insert
the correct disk into the drive.
Note that in both cases some action is asked from the
user. The user needs to physically be located near the
computer, and all the image media disks should be
immediately available.
Third message is shown in high-end systems. tis
more severe than the first two messages, since it
means that for some reason image data could not be
read from image storage system. (As stated in Sec-
tion 3.2 Image Archiving Scenarios, image data
should always be available in high-end systems).
Note that no immediate action is asked from the user.
The reason for thats the following: The problem is in
image storage system, and maintaining it belongs to
administrative personnel. Ordinary users are not
required to maintain it, and probably those kinds of
maintenance tasks are even prohibited from them.

‘So the question now is the following: How does.
Digora for Windows know what kind of message
should be shown, ic. is the system low-end system or
high-end system. The answer is the volume label
parameter.
ltavolume label parameter has been given for the
image media, then Digora for Windows assumes the
system is a low-end system, and the user will change:
image media disks when needed.
favolume label has not been given, then Digora for
Windows assumes the system is a high-end system. If
any problems occur when opening an image, then itis
atask of administrative personnel to fix the problem.
To putit another way once more:
1. In low-end systems, always give a volume label for
image media.
._Inhigh-end systems, leave the volume label pa-
rameter emply.
Special case of Folder media type
It folder media type has been selected for image
media record, then volume label parameter cannot be
given. The reason for that is obvious: Folder media
are used to save image bitmaps to the hard disk, and
the nature of folder media is permanent. From Digora
for Windows point of view, they resemble very much a
high-end archival media, so a volume label is not
needed.
Note anyway, when using the folder name parameter,
the same rules apply for folder media type than for
any other media type (see paragraph ‘Folder Name
Format’).
