The server component of Docusnap allows you to fully automate processes, such as creating an inventory or the associated documentation. This section explains the underlying concept and the configuration of Docusnap Server.

Docusnap

To create, process or monitor jobs, you will use the Docusnap application. The Scheduling step is available in the wizards (see Scheduling). In the Scheduling step, you can schedule the automated execution of the current inventory or documentation job for later or repeated execution. The jobs will be saved in the Docusnap database and are immediately available for execution by the Docusnap Server.

The Job Management dialog allows you to edit, monitor, delete and, if necessary, start the scheduled jobs (see Job Management).

Docusnap Server

The Docusnap Server is installed as a Windows service and is therefore the central element for the timed execution of scheduled jobs. The Docusnap Server can be configured using the Configuration wizard in Docusnap. The Docusnap server can also be configured during the first start Docusnap. The configuration wizard can also be launched from the Configuration button in the Scheduling ribbon during operation.

As already described previously, the jobs are configured, scheduled and saved in the Docusnap database. The jobs will be loaded by the Docusnap Server upon startup or during normal operation and executed as scheduled.

Docusnap-convention-Tipp

By default, the Docusnap Server service will be installed using the local system account. At this point, make sure that the specified account has sufficient access rights to the SQL Server, since otherwise, the Docusnap Server service cannot be started.

Docusnap-convention-Warning 

The Docusnap Server can only be used, if a SQL Server database is selected. The use of the local database (Microsoft Server Express LocalDB) is not supported.
