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.
If you have problems with this utility, please send an e-mail to HMADSEN@Novell.com.
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.
