Simple Configuration
The
configuration dialog will
prompt you for the few
pieces of information
required to get the export
process started. Once your
LibertyNET database has been
identified, the application
master table and internal
system name will be
determined for you
automatically, in most
cases. The utility also
needs to know the address of
your LibertyNET web server
and an internal user account
for accessing the system -
this is the portal that will
be leveraged for extracting
documents. After that,
simply indicate where to put
the files and which items of
data should be included in
the filename. You are able
to specify how the export
subdirectories will be
named, and you can select up
to 5 fields to append to the
filename - including a
reference to the index
form. The resulting export
file will always contain the
internal document ID which,
in addition to any field
values, can be used to
cross-reference records from
LibertyNET once the
documents are imported into
your replacement system.
Straightforward Interface
Once
the necessary configuration
properties have been saved,
using the utility each time
is as simple as selecting
one of your LibertyNET
folders from the list and
clicking the start button -
it doesn't get much easier
than that. Of course, we've
included a couple of extra
items on the main program
window to allow for some
flexibility with each export
job. One of the most
valuable options that we
enable by default allows the
utility to record which
documents have been
exported. This feature lets
you stop a large export job
before it has completed then
pick up where it left off at
a later time, or extract new
documents that have been
added to the folder after
the export was run. Some
LibertyNET systems have
utilized the feature known
as "document shortcuts", so
we have included the ability
to export that content as
well. During each export
job, full progress status is
provided for each document,
the entire job, and elapsed
duration. The utility's
interface is simple, yet
thorough.
Consistent Output
As
documents are extracted from
your LibertyNET system, they
are stored in files using a
consistent naming structure
with a file extension that
matches the original content
type (i.e. scanned docs as .tif,
PDF as .pdf,
etc.). Documents will be
saved to the root directory
you specify in the
configuration, within a 1st
level subdirectory named
after either the source
table or source folder
according to your
preference. A third level
subdirectory will
automatically be generated
according to the documents
internal ID - with up to
1,000 files in each of these
subdirectories. The file
names will always include
the document ID, optionally
including a form reference
(ID or name) and up to 5
fields of index values. Once
these extracted documents
have been imported into a
new system, the unique
delimiters from the
originating filename can be
used to easily parse the
data elements and even
cross-reference legacy
records from LibertyNET for
extended metadata "lookup"
processing. This naming
convention has been used to
reliably migrate documents
into several different
products at numerous
customer sites; it is
absolutely hassle-free.

million documents with a
high degree of accuracy.
-
Intuitive interface
streamlines the export
process.
-

than the LibertyNET Bulk
Export Utility.
-
A less expensive
solution with better
results.
