Import a database

The Import Databases window is displayed to import fuzzy databases that were exported from a Kofax Search and Matching Server. Note that the import of a database that is exported with the Export settings only setting can take longer as the Fuzzy Database is automatically created during import.

  1. Click Import.

    The Import Databases window is displayed.

  2. Select a zip file and then one or more files you want to import.

    If the zip file was created in a previous version of Kofax Search and Matching Server, it is possible that a password was assigned to protect the database. Passwords are no longer supported so it is necessary to use a third-party zip tool such as 7-Zip to remove the password before you import the file.

  3. If wanted, you can change the following import options for the selected files:
    1. Select Activate databases after import to activate the databases immediately after the import.
    2. Select Replace existing databases to replace existing databases with the imported databases that have the same name.

      If Replace existing databases is not selected, but a database with the duplicate name exists, the imported database is automatically renamed and a consecutive number is added at the end of the file name.

      If Replace existing databases is not selected, but a database with the duplicate name exists, the imported database is automatically renamed and a consecutive number is added at the end of the file name.

  4. Click Import to import the all selected databases and return to the main window.
