CopyDoc Utility
		   Version 4.1 (DSS Compatible)


COPYDOC.EXE is a utility designed to do mass copying or check out of 
documents from SoftSolutions to any destination.  Options include copying by 
Search Results, Worklist, Marked List, or Current Profile (the profile 
showing on the profile screen).  CopyDoc can also check out each Profile if 
desired.  If checking out a Profile then the Profile's InUse field will be   
updated with a "C" (for checked out), will generate an activity log for 
"CheckOut" (if the Activity log is enabled), and will update the Revby and 
RevDate fields with the current user and current date. CopyDoc now uses OAMs 
(which means it is network aware).

For install instructions please refer to the "How to Install" section near 
the end of this document.

A new feature with CopyDoc 4.1 is the ability to stop and ask the user what 
they would like to copy and to where or, if you prefer, go directly to the 
copy/checkout process using default information setup in CopyDoc.cfg.  See 
the "How to Configure" section near the end of this document for more 
information.

The CopyDoc utility is not supported by SoftSolutions but was created with 
the administrator and end user in mind--in hopes that it might simplify 
administrator's life as well as creating a simple interface for the end user.

POSSIBLE USE FOR SICPYDOC
Question: How can I check out documents to another dataset and then import 
them back into the same dataset and still maintain the same profile numbers 
they originated from.
Answer: Use COPYDOC to do a mass check out (with a .PRO) to a dataset (and 
let's say this second dataset is on your laptop or remote PC).  Now mass 
import these documents as "Profiled Documents" from the SoftSolutions 
Utilities Menu on your laptop.  They are imported as Guest Documents because 
they were checked out of the first dataset.  When you finish your work on the 
laptop or remote PC and want to return the documents then you run COPYDOC 
again and Check them out as you did in the first step.  When this runs, 
COPYDOC will ask if you want to delete the Profile and document from the 
second dataset (this behaves the same as SoftSolutions but we are doing it 
in mass).  When you answer Yes to that question then the profile & document 
are removed from the second dataset.  Now you run "Import Profiled 
Documents" from the first dataset and they are imported into the original 
dataset under the same profile numbers.

HOW TO INSTALL
1) Put CopyDoc.exe and CopyDoc.cfg in the Util directory (which is a 
subdirectory under the SoftSolutions programs directory).
2) Log into SoftSolutions.
3) Choose the Setup option from the menu and then choose Applications.
4) Add a record for CopyDoc.
  a. App Type is "L".
  b. Commandline should look like the following: 
     %o@util\CopyDoc.exe ^%o@util\CopyDoc.cfg
5) Go to the Profile screen and select some documents
6) Choose "Launch" from the options menu and select CopyDoc

HOW TO CONFIGURE
The CopyDoc.cfg file is a text file and allows some customation of how 
CopyDoc can be run (infact, if you placed this file on each user's hard 
drive instead of up on the network in the util directory-and point to it on 
the application commandline-then each user could have his or her own 
customizations).  The first five parameters can be changed by you.  The 
first four parameters are sigle digit numbers and the fifth parameter is the 
default destination directory to which your documents will be copied.  The 
following describes the first four parameters:
1) User Interface: 0 means that copydoc will not stop to ask users questions 
but 1 will stop to ask questions.
2) Copy Method: 1 means copy the current profile.  2 means copy a marked 
list.  3 means copy your worklist.  4 means copy your search results.
3) IGNORE: Ignore this parameter--future enhancement.
4) Check Out: 1 means to check out your list of Profiles as well as copy 
each document.  A 0 means not to check them out--only copy the documents.

NOTE: COPYDOC.EXE will ONLY work with version 4.1 of SoftSolutions and 
CPYDOC31.EXE will ONLY work with version 3.1x of SoftSolutions

NOTE2: Read PORT_DOC.TXT if you are running in Portable mode or use a version 
of SoftSolutions earlier than 3.1x.

For Windows users, download CPYDCW.EXE from the BBS.
