Question

How to migrate patterns used in Recognition Server 4 workflows to FineReader Server 14?

Answer

If you need to migrate settings and workflows from Recognition Server 4 to FineReader Server 14 note that not all patterns will be transferred automatically.

These patterns are located in RecognitionServer 4 folders:

(path by default) %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\ABBYY Recognition Server 4.0\RS4WF\Binaries\

Pattern files will have original names with GUID added to the extension.

For example: pattern_06.ptn{D6E48125-3BB2-4477-AF4C-25F7635CE601}

To migrate these files to FineReader Server 14 copy them to the corresponding folder:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\ABBYY FineReader Server 14.0\FRSWF\Binaries

You could also delete the GUID from the extension and add the patterns to workflows in the Administration Console.

Note that extensions of *.fbt files need to be changed to *.ptn.

For example:

file pattern_06.fbt{D6E48125-3BB2-4477-AF4C-25F7635CE601} needs to be renamed to pattern_06.ptn
