Applies to

This fix pack is based on Kofax MarkView for Accounts Payable 10.5.0.
Only apply this fix pack to the MarkView 10.5.0 application server; do not run the fix pack installer on a MarkView Oracle Objects installation.

Verify that the version of all installed MarkView components (such as Self-Service Invoices, Document Library, Expenses) is 10.5.0.

For information about system requirements, see the Kofax MarkView 10.5.0 Planning Guide and the Technical Specifications document on the Kofax MarkView Product Documentation website.

Applying this fix pack multiple times on the same system causes no harm. Also, fix packs are cumulative for a release, so you do not need to install previous 10.5.0 fix packs before applying this latest fix pack.

This fix pack includes files that are staged on the application server and that require manual steps, which are included in the sections that follow.

    The installer shows a list of all 10.5.0 fixes in the fix pack.

  8. Provide answers to any unspecified values in the installer windows.
    Use values that match those provided during version 10.5.0 installation.
    (If available, use the installation worksheet that was completed for MarkView 10.5.0.)
    Note: Install the fix pack in the same target directory specified for the MarkView 10.5.0 installation.
    If you run the installer and see pre-populated information for the wrong environment, such as production URLs when running against a non-production environment, update the fields manually in the installation window.

    • For standalone mode:
      In the Enter App Server information for MarkView applications, leave the Domain field blank.

    where <MARKVIEW-10.5.0-INSTALLER> is the base directory of the MarkView 10.5.0 installation distribution.
    In a clustered environment, point to one server, then propagate to other nodes in the cluster using the appropriate process for your application server.
