Key information for decision makers regarding new minor release Xerox DocuShare 6.5.3 and ABBYY Recognition Server 2.0 r 11.


Xerox has just released DocuShare 6.5.3 bringing new levels of scalability.  DocuShare 6.5.3 replaces version 6.5.2 and resolves the content indexing issues with DocuShare 6.5 upgrades.

This new release has additional scalability options that may be beneficial to sites with more than 5 million documents, especially those in which much or most of the content is indexed for full-text search.  It will also support new versions of OS and database platforms. 

What’s New

  • Improvements to maximize the effectiveness of the search engine, including a more robust indexing process and better error tracking. These improvements ensure that content indexing completes without failure and that indexing coverage is maximized.
  • Several resource-intensive tasks, such as changing the permissions, owner, or location of large amounts of content, were redesigned for optimal utilization of system resources and memory, eliminating out-of-memory errors.
  • Support for SQL Server 2008 SP1 database
  • Support for Windows 2008 Server R2 (64-bit)

The DocuShare User Group (DoUG) site collection for Downloads has the upgrade.  https://docushare.xerox.com/doug/dsweb/View/Collection-11434

The language packs for DE Deutsch, ES Español, and FR Français are also available.

We're told that the DocuShare Client 6.5 for Windows 7 64-bit should be available by the end of May at: https://docushare.xerox.com/doug/dsweb/View/Collection-10428
You may have to create an account for yourself to access this area.  DocuShare Client 6.5 will add support for 64-bit terminal servers (Windows Terminal Service, Remote Desktop Services, & Citrix) in the remote desktop edition.  Xerox will not be supporting the DocuShare Client on Windows XP X64; this has been a stated position for over a year now.  They are currently supporting Windows Vista 32 bit with DocuShare Client version 6.0.6 and 6.0.7.

DocuShare CPX made more accessible

The minimum number of CALs needed for CPX has just been lowered from 50 to 20. This opens the opportunity for your power users and automation tools to extend their reach into advanced workflow processes.  Xerox brochures cover these advanced features pretty well and you can also benefit from the comparison document on our site: Product Comparison - DocuShare 6 to CPX 6.

ABBYY Recognition Server 2.0 r 11

Release 11 includes the following fixes:

  • Conflicting files in the Output folder were fixed by adding a GUID to the file name and a 4-digit counter
  • Tagged PDF files that contained links no longer fail validation in Adobe Preflight 9
  • In e-mail processing workflows, temporary files no longer pile up in the Temp folder if the incoming message cannot be parsed
  • Messages sent via mail.ru POP3 server are now processed properly
  • "Not enough memory!" error no longer occurs during the recognition of certain images
  • Copy/paste commands on Verification station no longer cause an error
  • This list of fixes is also available in the Release notes.htm file included in the distributives.

P.S. Be on the watch for the debut of Recognition Server 3.0 within the next month or so!

New FileServer to DocuShare Upload Tool

We'd recently helped one of our DocuShare Tool resellers to upload the contents of a customer's file server into DocuShare with their hierarchy intact.  We leverage the content intake module by uploading documents in chunks of 500 files at a time.  We'd discovered there are quite a few subtleties involved in this and we believe we have the kinks worked out.  They'd previously tried uploading everything using the including DSUpload tool from Xerox, but our new FS2DS utility is noted to be much faster.  Let us know if you have a lot of content you'd like to move into DocuShare; we'll have a method that works for you.
