Creating a New Input Source

Every server group needs at least one CAPSYS input source to allow the CAPSYS Server to locate new batches to process. An input source is a "input" CAPSYS Server Extension (QSX) module that is installed on the same computer as the CAPSYS Service. The module must also be installed on the same computer as CAPSYS Process Manager so that it can be configured once it is added as an input source to a server group.

There are currently four CAPSYS input sources that can be assigned to a server group provided that they are registered with CAPSYS Process Manager:

• CAPSYS Fax for RightFAX
• CAPSYS Fax for Biscom
• CAPSYS Document Import
• EmailGateway
• XML Import

CAPSYS Import and the two CAPSYS Fax modules each require a license key in order to operate. The CAPSYS Web input source, which looks for batches created by CAPSYS thin clients, does not require a license key.

You can create any number of input sources within a single server group as long as each has a unique name.

1. From the CAPSYS Process Manager, expand the Server Groups container item in the console tree, if it is not already open.
2. Click on the name of an existing server group.
3. From the Input Sources toolbar, click the Add button.
4. In the Create Input Source dialog box that opens, select one of the available input source modules.
5. Give the input source a unique Display Name.
6. Click OK.

The name of the new input source displays when you view the server group in CAPSYS Process Manager.

Custom Input Sources

The QSX Development Kit provides you with source code to develop custom input source modules. Once registered with CAPSYS Process Manager, custom input source modules can be added to server groups in the same manner as the standard input sources.
