Question

DCC with Web Client

When I execute Full Tex OCR in a document with a Web Client session, which processor does this work, the one of the Web Server or the client (If I use a personal computer with an internet browser)?

Is it possible to activate the full OCR text process with web client sessions? We have a server with a CPU with multiple cores.

Can we use these cores to generate full OCR text with the Web Client? If we have a server with several CPUs and cores, can we use several sessions with the web client?

Thanks

Your requested setup is already possible. DCC allows you to install its workers on different machines. You can also specify how many concurrent task a given worker can run if you desire to limit the resources it will use on a given machine.

It will use DCC, so which computers the jobs are sent to will depend on how you've configured that. In general the work will be done on machines that are different from the web server and the user's desktop.

Thanks Brian, I have a request for the development team, I hope it makes sense to them; If we do DCC OCR on lots of images using Laserfiche heavy clients, we will have an important traffic of images between server and PCs, which could saturate the network (Thinking of processes of high volume of images, for example 300,000 daily) and by I think it would be better to do the OCR with the cores of the server processors through DCC.

It's entirely transparent to the web client. DCC has a scheduler/worker setup where multiple workers installed on various machines can be connected to one scheduler. The applications using DCC, like the web client or Workflow, only need to know where the scheduler is. See DCC documentation for more information on the architecture.
