Collector.ini
The Collector.ini file contains settings that apply to ReadSoft Collector, an optional product that can be used with ReadSoft Invoices for importing images from email messages into Invoices.
The location of Collector.ini is specified by the GlobalPath setting in Eilocal.ini.

Changes in Collector 6-2
In Collector 6-2, the Collector.ini file is used only when ReadSoft Collector is used with ReadSoft Invoices. In addition, some settings were moved from the INI file to the user interface and are therefore saved in the database, as indicated in the descriptions below.
[Database]
| Password | The password for UserName. It may be encrypted (see below). |
| EncryptedPassword | See Password encryption. |
| UseEncryptedPassword | |
| DatabaseName | The name of the SQL Server database used by Collector. |
| Server | The network name of the PC where the database* is installed. |
| UserName | The user name that ReadSoft Collector uses when accessing the database. |
| IntegratedSecurity | New in
Collector
6-2. Applies when creating the
ReadSoft
Collector
database, and when configuring and using
Collector.
If enabled, login occurs automatically with Windows authentication instead of with SQL Server login. User name and Password are disabled in the Collector Database Maintenance Tool dialog. 0 = disabled (default); 1 = enabled. |
* ReadSoft Collector can use the ReadSoft Invoices database, or it can have its own database. In both cases, ReadSoft Collector uses this section to log in.
[IMAP](not used in Collector 6-2, where these settings are saved in the database)
| RuntimeKey | For ReadSoft developers who are developing an IMAP component. Specify your IPWorks developer license key here. |
| ImapTimeout | IMAP timeout in seconds. Use this setting only if you have timeout problems in connection with IMAP. For example, increase the value from 60 (default) to 120 to prevent IMAP from timing out so quickly. |
[General](not used in Collector 6-2, where these settings are saved in the database)
| InstallationPath | ReadSoft
developers can use this setting to load help topics or translations from a different location than the
ReadSoft
Collector
installation path. Specify where to get the help topics or translations. Use quotation marks around the value.
Example: InstallationPath="C:\ws\COLLECTOR\Documentation" |
[Settings]
The following settings are only needed if multiple Interpret instances are used in connection with an IMAP email server or an XML invoices input source to avoid deadlocks when more than one Interpret instance tries to process an invoice/email at the same time.
| SystemWideMutexTimeout | This setting ensures that only one Interpret instance at a time has access to the database. If an Interpret instance crashes, this setting specifies how long (in seconds) the database is blocked before access is automatically released to another Interpret instance. |
| EmailProcessingTimeout | This setting ensures that only one Interpret instance at a time is able to process an email. If an Interpret instance crashes, this setting specifies how long (in seconds) that a specific email is held before it becomes available to another Interpret instance. |
| MoveEmailTimeout | This setting ensures that only one Interpret instance at a time is able to move a mail to the error folder. If an Interpret instance crashes, this setting specifies how long (in seconds) before another Interpret instance can move it. |
