Output Manager (OM) Core Components
Database:
The SQL(E) database is the central data repository for OM (Office).
The Database stores all configuration data, information and settings for printers and documents,
parameters for alerts/rules/reports, and logs all activities.
Database Manager (DBM) Service:
This is the “master” service, which is the OM environment’s sole
point of communication with its Database. The other services
interact with this service.
1To
Input Service1:
Responsible for receiving
documents from any Source
you’ve defined into OM (Office).
Output Service1:
Responsible for sending
documents from OM (Office) to
any Destination you’ve defined.
SNMP Service1:
Responsible for detecting and
monitoring the status of
printers and documents sent to
them.
Rules Agent Service1:
Responsible for managing any
Adhoc, Business, or Alert Rules
built in the environment.
function, this service must be pointed towards a correctly configured OM DBM Service.
File Store:
The raw data of the
documents/print jobs are
stored in an OM File Store
Server Configuration
Utility:
A small application installed
automatically when one or
more OM services is
installed.
It interfaces with any OM
Service running locally on a
server. It can stop, start and
configure OM Services. It
can also be used to define
OM Administrators.
