  1. Session I-b halFILE 2.1 New Technical Features

  2. Full ODBC Application • Microsoft Access has been eliminated • New ODBC databases • File Data Source support • Support for MSDE

  3. Full ODBC Application Elimination of MS Access… Why? • ODBC (particularly SQL Server) is a more robust platform • Access is not client server which means more network traffic • Access issues with multi-users / file locking • Eliminates the 3050 locking error • Reduces chance for corrupt database • More secure environment • Client/Server support throughout the product • Database migration no longer required

  4. Full ODBC Application New ODBC Databases: • HFWParams database contains all the tables that were in Paramtrs.mdb • Main halFILE Database (xxxHFWdd) contains same tables as before plus tables that were in MS Access databases • xxxddBSKT contains all the basket tables

  5. Full ODBC Application ODBC File Data Sources: • Eliminate the ODBC setup at every station • Uses common DSN folder for all File DSNs

  6. Full ODBC Application MicroSoft Data Engine • Free ODBC database engine that we deliver • Limited to small sites (1-3 users)

  7. 32-bit Architecture halFILE 2.x uses complete 32-bit architecture Removes the need for NTVDM for Windows 2000/NT/XP (16-bit subsystem loaded into memory)

  8. Installation Features • Single install in most cases • Automatic install of SQL Server drivers • Automatic install of halMail, Send to halFILE, Print to halFILE, Crystal Reports Runtime • Uninstall will only remove local workstation files

  9. halFILE Viewer • New COM Object - halviewer.dll • Viewer can be upgraded without installing new programs • Wheel Mouse support (Intellipoint software or equivalent required) • Single-job printing

  10. Viewer “Flavors” • halFILE Standard Viewer • Annotations • Improved printing • Color image support • halFILE Pro Viewer • Optical Character Recognition (OCR) • Deskew at scan time • Despeckle at scan time • Crop at scan time • Invert at scan time

  11. When do I use the halFILE Pro Viewer? • TWAIN scan stations • Crop • Deskew • Better scanner control • Where there is an OCR requirement

  12. Viewer “Flavors” • halFILE Kofax Viewer • Backward compatibility • Future forms recognition • Barcode recognition • Improved printing • Color image support

  13. Workstation Delivery • halFILE Manager delivers updated DLL or other program files that need to be placed on the workstations local drive • hfdeliver.ini • deliver folder

  14. Security Features halFILE integrated Security • The halFILE user id is derived from the network login, so the user does not have to re-login to halFILE every time they go into the application. • This feature is recommended!

  15. Security Features ODBC Integrated Security • The SQL Server user id is derived from the network login. So, each user is given access privilege to the database inside of SQL Server Administrator. • This feature is not recommended.

  16. Common Index Code Set The Index Module code set is common throughout other modules where a document is indexed. This prevents the module from getting out of date as new index features are added. Index Verify Print to halFILE Send to halFILE

  17. Color Image Support • Viewer support importing of multiple image formats into a single document (TIFF, JPEG) • Color scanning

  18. Color Image Support Kofax Support • Supports CALS, BMP, JPEG, PCX, TIFF • For color scanning, use JPEG format

  19. Color Image Support Imaging Standard and Professional Support • Views TIFF, BMP, DCX, GIF, JPEG, PCX, WIFF, and XIF formats • Saves TIFF and BMP formats • For color scanning, use TIFF with JPEG compression • NOTE: TIFF with JPEG compression requires a halFILE Standard or halFILE Pro Viewer. • So, JPEG in TIFF cannot be viewed by halFILE Kofax Viewer.

  20. Multiple Monitor Support
