Service and process definitions

The following list shows service and processes and a short description of their assigned tasks:

  • ServerSchedulerService.exe - Starts and closes mailroom, extraction and recognition processes. Distributes documents received from batches by mailroom processes to extraction and recognition processes.

  • MailroomProcess.exe - Opens a batch from Kofax Capture for further processing by handing over documents to the Server Scheduler Service. Multiple mailroom processes can run in parallel, which means that multiple batches can be processed concurrently.

  • ExtractionProcess.exe - Processes single documents or global script events. Document processing includes: foldering, separation, classification, and validation of documents. Full-page OCR is performed on demand. Multiple extraction processes can run in parallel, which means that multiple documents can be processed concurrently.

  • RecognitionProcess.exe - Performs full-page OCR for documents with many pages. Full-page OCR is performed either inside the extraction process or inside the recognition process, as an independent process. This process runs as a kind of outsourcing to the extraction process to allow processing multiple pages in parallel.
