The Kofax Transformation - Server and Knowledge Base Learning Server can run either as applications with a graphical user interface, or they can run in the background as Windows services. In either case, document processing such as classification, extraction, and folder processing for the Server is directed to a Windows service. By default, these services use the configured service account to log on to Kofax Capture. It is possible to force the log on to Kofax Capture to use the user account configured in the Service Configuration tool.

You typically run Kofax Transformation - Server as an application when setting up a project to check its functionality and display errors. For production, the best practice is to run Server as a service using the Kofax Transformation - Server Scheduler Service . To start Server as a service, make sure that the option to automatically start batch processing is selected for the Server Scheduler Service.

Initially the Server Scheduler Service and the Knowledge Base Learning Service are installed to run under the local system account. The initial startup type for the Server Scheduler Service is Automatic, for the Knowledge Base Learning Service it is Manual. By default, errors are logged in the default or system language. The Server Scheduler Service controls the batch processing, the extraction processes, the OCR processes, and starts batch processing automatically.
