- Task checklist
- Configuring to use IPv6 addresses
You can use IPv6 addresses for the primary server and some of the other IP addresses
in RICOH ProcessDirector.
- Logging in for the first time
After you install, reboot the primary computer and log in to RICOH ProcessDirector using a Web browser.
- Verifying the installation
If you have finished installing RICOH ProcessDirector and want to verify the installation, use this procedure to enable the Sample printer,
submit a test job to the HotFolderPDF input device, and process the job.
- Deleting temporary installer files
If a file system named /aiwtmp
remains on your system after the RICOH ProcessDirector installer has finished an installation, you can delete that folder and all its contents.
- Installing features
After you install RICOH ProcessDirector or RICOH ProcessDirector Subscription, you can add features at any time.
- Downloading and installing license keys
If you have purchased RICOH ProcessDirector, RICOH ProcessDirector Subscription, or any feature, use this procedure to download license keys and install them.
- Installing the Transform Feature license keys
You can install a Transform Feature license key on a computer other than the primary
computer using an installation program from the Transform Features directory.
- Configuring RICOH ProcessDirector
- Scheduling automatic maintenance
RICOH ProcessDirector provides maintenance scripts that must be run regularly on the primary computer to
improve performance. By default, RICOH ProcessDirector runs these scripts every day at midnight. You can change the time or frequency, and
you can run your own maintenance scripts at the same time.
- Tuning Java memory allocation
Allocating more memory to Java often improves the performance of RICOH ProcessDirector. However, it is imperative that you take several factors into consideration before
you change this configuration.
- Replacing your control files with the sample files
When you install a new version of RICOH ProcessDirector, the installer automatically adds new sample control files to the /aiw/aiw1/samples
directory and copies them to your control files directory, /aiw/aiw1/control_files
. It does not overwrite any of your customized control files in /aiw/aiw1/control_files
. You can use the copyConfigurationFiles script to install the default control files
or to overwrite your customized control files.
- Copying objects from another system
To reuse objects from another RICOH ProcessDirector system, you can use the other system to export them. On this RICOH ProcessDirector system, you can import the objects rather than recreating them manually.
- Installing and configuring the pdpr script
If you are migrating from InfoPrint Manager and you use the pdpr command to submit jobs, you can install the RICOH ProcessDirector pdpr script on the computers that submit jobs and use the same command to send jobs to
RICOH ProcessDirector.
- Setting up to use LDAP authentication
If you have an existing LDAP or Active Directory server, you can use LDAP or Active
Directory user names and passwords to authenticate into RICOH ProcessDirector.
- Communicating between RICOH ProcessDirector and the LDAP server
When you set up communications between RICOH ProcessDirector and your LDAP server, you might have to modify your LDAP server settings for these
binds and search requests.
- Creating a Docker container secondary server
Use this procedure to create a Docker container secondary server on a Linux system
and connect it to your primary computer.
- Moving processing to and from a failover server
Failover servers are designed to take over processing in the event that your RICOH ProcessDirector production server suffers a catastrophic event. Use this procedure to move processing
between the RICOH ProcessDirector production server and the failover server.
- Setting up to send data to RICOH Supervisor
The RICOH Supervisor settings let you configure the system to send data to RICOH Supervisor.
- Installing a RICOH ProcessDirector product update
