Launch ABBYY FlexiCapture

The server and processing station services start automatically. The stations and the Processing Server can be either running or stopped. The Processing Server is started from the Processing Server Monitor. The Processing Stations are started by the user, or automatically by the Processing Server if the corresponding settings have been selected.To monitor and control the Processing Server and the Application Server, select the following items from the Start menu:
  • Start → All Programs → ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Servers → Processing Server to start the Processing Server Monitor.
  • Start → All Programs → ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Servers → Administration and Monitoring Console to open the main page of the console in your browser and control the Application Server.
ABBYY FlexiCapture stations are started by selecting the corresponding menu items from Start → All Programs → ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Stations.

Registry keys

You can use registry keys in Shell\StartUp to control how the application is launched. These keys are not created in the registry by default; if required, the Administrator can add them to the registry of the user’s operating system. Registry keys can be overridden by the corresponding command line launch parameters.

​
Command line parameters

The following parameters are used to start stations from the command line:
  • path to FlexiCapture.exe — for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\ABBYY FlexiCapture Stations\FlexiCapture.exe.
  • /Station:(Setup,Validator,RemoteValidator,Verificator) — specifies the station (Project Setup Station, Verification Station, Remote Verification Station, or Data Verification Station respectively). If no mode is specified, the program prompts you to select a mode at startup.
  • /Project:"path to project" — sets the project that is opened automatically when the application is launched.
  • /Batch:"batch name" — sets the batch that is opened automatically when the application is launched. You may need to open a particular batch in the Project Setup Station. Other stations operate with queues.
  • /ProhibitChangePath — prohibits changing the batch and project that open automatically in Operator mode.
The path to the project can be viewed in the corresponding station in the registry branch HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ABBYY\FlexiCapture\12.0\Shell\MRU_List. The List key contains the projects that were opened in the station. From the value of this key, copy the path to the project on the server: https://<ApplicationServer>/<guid>/<project name>. In command line parameters, the project name must be enclosed in quotes.
For example, to open the Invoices_eng project from the server in the Verification Station, use the following command:
