heartbeat folder or click

the folder.
Note
: The path entered here must point to the same folder (either local or network shared) as that
entered in the profile Services tab.
-
Set heartbeat interval
: Enter how often the OCR engine is to create or update a
heartbeat file.
Note
: The heartbeat interval set for the OCR engine, e.g., every 5 minutes,
should be less than the heartbeat interval set within the profile, e.g., every 10 minutes.
What is a Heartbeat?
A heartbeat is a file named “heartbeat.dat” located in the
OCR heartbeat folder, e.g., c:\ocr, generated by the OCR e ngine (File Conversion
Program) that GlobalScan’s Job Monitor Service examines in order to determine
whether or not OCR is up and running. If GlobalScan does not see the updated
time stamp of the “heartbeat.dat” file an error condition occurs, telling the
administrator that OCR is down.
