If different workstations require different scanner settings, there are two configuration options.

Always show scanner selection

• The simplest method is to always display the scanner selection. In this case, the user must perform one more click at his workstation. The locally installed scanner driver takes care of the correct settings, such as rotation, mirroring, etc. Only one workstation needs to be created in the GP Manager.
  This method does not work if the Windows driver (Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)) is used and different GP Manager settings for rotating, mirroring, etc. are required between the workstations.
  • The two INI files in the single workstation are responsible for displaying the selection dialogue:
    • Gp_Scan_Fuss.ini - Contains the settings for scanning feet.
    • Gp_Scan_Tritt.ini - Contains the settings for scanning footprints.
  • In both INI files, the parameter FILE_TWAIN to an INI file in the .\GpSystem\INI directory. The settings for displaying the scanner selection dialogue are stored in this file.
  • For the dialogue to appear, the parameter B_Unconditional_Dialogue_Call = Yes can be set. The parameter B_Create_Twain_Property_List = No must always be set. If the value is set to Yes, the GP Manager crashes more frequently.

Do not display scanner selection - The GP Manager manages the scan settings

• If settings are to be managed by the GP Manager, the following INI files must be customised in the individual workstation.
  • Gp_Scan_Fuss.ini - Contains the settings for scanning feet.
  • Gp_Scan_Tritt.ini - Contains the settings for step track scanning.

The two files contain references to other INI files with settings. This is done with the parameters:

• FILE_Calibration to calibrate the scanner (rotate/mirror image, etc.)
• FILE_TWAIN with the settings for the Twain dialogue

The files referred to are located in the folders .\GpSystem\KAL\ and .\GpSystem\INI\.

• In the FILE_Calibration file contains settings for displaying the image. Among other things, the image can be rotated and mirrored here. This can be adjusted individually for the left and right image. If different settings are to be used for scanners: Select differently named files for each workstation and customise them.
• In the FILE_TWAIN file, the parameters for the scanner selection dialogue are set. If the parameter B_Create_TWAIN_Property_List = Yes the GP Manager crashes. To preselect a scanner, the parameter T_Scanner is set to the value of the scanner name.
  Proceed as follows:
  • Set B_Erzeuge_SannserListe = Yes
  • Restart the GP Manager
  • Open the file C:\Temp\GpTemp\Twain_List.txt
  • Copy the scanner name and insert it after T_Scanner = in the correct Twain file.

If you selected the wrong login method when installing SQL Express, you can change the GpSQL.ini so that the GP Manager can still connect to the database. This saves you having to reinstall Microsoft SQL Express.

To do this, change the INI file as follows:

[SQL]
T_SERVER = server name
T_USER = release
T_PASSWD = release
T_SECURITY = SSPI
T_DATENBANK = GpBank

If an SQL connection is not possible, you can proceed as follows to test the SQL connection:

Create a new file (for example, a text document). The file extension is then changed to UDL (for example: Text.txt -> Test.udl). Double-click to start the data link properties dialogue. In this dialogue you can enter the server data yourself to test the connection:

• Server name: Selection via drop-down menu or server\instance name (example values: 192.168.2.2\GEBIOM or Server2000\GEBIOMV7)
• User name and password are in the rule:
  • User: sa
  • Password: GeBioM2012
• database on the server is usually:
  • GpBank

The database connection can then be terminated with "Test connection" should be checked. If no connection is established, proceed as follows:

1. Is the service started on the server? Computer management -> Services
   • With a server solution, in addition to the instance SQL Server (INSTANZNAME) the following services must also be started.
   • SQL Server Browser
   • SQL Server Agent (INSTANZNAME)
2. Is there a GpBank.ldf and GpBank.mdf in the correct folder?
3. Can the server be reached (Does DNS work, can the server be reached with the "ping" command?)
4. Is a firewall blocking access to the server (see Server installation)?

• Copy the GpTools folder of an existing GP Manager installation to the setup file. In the example below, the path C:\Installation medium\ is selected as an example. You can choose any path. The name of your setup file (exe) may differ from the example.

 C:\Installation medium\Full version_V7_R7.exe
 C:\Installation medium\GpTools\

• This however, only worksif both GP Manager versions (setup file and installation) Largely identical are!

• Create an INI folder with an ini.zip

   C:\Installation medium\INI\
   C:\Installation medium\INI\ini.zip

  • The following folder structure should be created in the ini.zip file:

     GpSystem\
     GpSystem\GPSYSTEM_single place\

  • You can copy the GPSYSTEM_Einzelplatz folder from an existing GP Manager version. It should contain the INI files!

There are two versions of GpMan.ini. The .\GpSystem\INI folder contains a GpMan.ini which is used to define individual workstations.

In the .\GpSystem\GpSystem_Einzelplatz folder, one of the tasks of GpMan.ini is to activate/deactivate activated modules. This is useful for a server installation if modules are not needed at some workstations.
