Available Databases pane

If configured, a list of databases is displayed. The list contains icons to the left of the database name to show the database type, either text file Text icon or relational database Database icon, as well as the database status, either activated Available icon or deactivated Not Available icon.

You can add a new database, rename, or delete an existing inactive database, and set a database to active in order to be used within the Kofax Transformation Modules or Kofax TotalAgility workflows. You can select multiple databases from the list in order to delete, activate or deactivate, or export. Any databases in your selection that have a status other than Ready or Error are ignored when performing the selected command.

The following buttons are available at the bottom of the list of Available Databases.

Add

Click Add Add icon to open a window so that you can type the name for the new fuzzy database and select the database type, either a delimited text file (csv) or a relational database.

Activate

Click Activate Available icon or Not Available icon to enable or disable a selected database for the access from a Kofax Transformation Modules or Kofax TotalAgility workflow. The corresponding icon is displayed next to the database name to indicate whether a database is activated or deactivated. You can select multiple databases from the Available Databases list to activate or deactivate several databases at once. The menu is not available for databases that have a database status other than Ready or Error.

The label of this setting changes depending on the status of the selected database. The following values are available for this button.

  • Activate

  • Activate / Deactivate

  • Deactivate

Rename

Click Rename Rename icon to change the name of a selected fuzzy database. To rename an activated database you have to deactivate it first.

Remove

Click Remove Delete icon to delete the selected database from the server. Note that you can delete a database only if it is deactivated so that it can no longer be accessed by a Kofax Transformation Modules or Kofax TotalAgility workflow.

Export

Click Export Export icon to export the settings for one or more databases and the corresponding fuzzy databases as a zip file. You can import an exported database to be used for another Kofax Search and Matching Server.

If you have selected a database that does not have the status Ready or Error, Export is not available.

Import

Click Import Import icon to import one or more databases that are exported from another Kofax Search and Matching Server in order to move databases from one server to another, for example as a backup.
