Required parameters

Specify the following parameters:
  • The address of the Laserfiche server
  • The name of the Laserfiche repository to be used
  • The username and password for the Laserfiche account that uploads the documents

​
If you leave the credentials empty

The documents are uploaded under the Windows user account that runs the uploading process. Which account that is depends on how the upload starts:
  • Started by a Processing Station – The upload runs under the account running the Processing Station.
  • Started by a user – The upload runs under the account that the user logged in with on the ABBYY FlexiCapture station where they started the upload.
If you use an XML file to specify export settings, the password for the Laserfiche account is stored in that file in plain text, where anyone can read it. For more information, see Use a script to specify Laserfiche export settings and Use an XML file to specify Laserfiche export settings.
