DocuShare Installation Guide

5–3

Archive Server software must be installed on an external server that has been designated a DocuShare 
Archive Server. Installing Archive Server software is almost identical to installing standard DocuShare 
software. The only difference is the type of software installation you select; in this case DocuShare 
Archive Server. 

‰

Refer to Chapter 1 of this guide to verify the system requirements and to make sure you have the 
information required by the install wizard. System requirements for an Archive Server are the same as 
those for a standard DocuShare site; this includes the use of external databases and alternative web 
servers.

‰

After you have installed the DocuShare Archive Server software, send a license request email to 
docushare.licenses@xerox.com, and include the Host ID number for your new Archive Server (located 
on the site License page) and your customer or company name. When your account is verified, Xerox 
emails you a license string. 

1. Depending on the platform you are using, refer to that chapter of this guide.

2. Following the Install DocuShare instructions exactly as though you were installing a standard 

DocuShare site, but when the install wizard displays the window asking you for the type of 
installation you want; select DocuShare Archive Server.

3. When the installation successfully completes and you have started the service, use a browser to 

connect to the Archive Server.

4. Follow the standard DocuShare site license procedure to license the Archive Server. Make sure 

you use the license string that enables Archive Server. Installing software alone does not enable 
the Archive Server.

5. After licensing, reboot the server.

1. To configure any DocuShare site to use the Archive Server, go to Services and Components l 

Archive Server of the Admin UI of that site.

2. On the Archive Server page, enter the hostname and port number of the Archive Server. Enter 

that information in the connection test field to make sure the DocuShare site can connect to the 
Archive Server.

3. You can also use the Archive Server page to set how often the site polls for documents marked for 

archiving.

1. Depending on the platform you are using, refer to that chapter of this guide.

2. Follow the Uninstall DocuShare instructions exactly as though you were uninstalling a standard 

DocuShare site.
