Importing Sample Setup

For testing the PDF Watermarking application, there is a PDF Watermarking Sample package available. This sample package is designed to let end-users experiment with Watermarking operations.

The following process imports metadata required for the Watermarking Sample. It includes sample Watermarking configurations.

1. Enable the Super User login to perform this step.
2. Go to the \PackageImportExportUtilities\Import\ folder in the Aras Innovator CD Image and run the Import.exe file.



3. Input the connection information
1. Server: a connection URL for Aras Innovator
2. Database: a target Aras Innovator 33 database
3. Username: root
4. Password: a password for the root login; the default is innovator
5. Target Release = 27
6. Description: Watermarking Sample Settings
7. Manifest File Path: a manifest is found in the unzipped \Imports\imports.mf patch folder
8. Available for Import: SampleWatermarking
9. Type: Merge
10. Mode: Thorough Mode
4. Click Import to start the utility.

The following process loads sample data, including sample files, into the database by running BAT scripts:

1. Copy the WMBatch folder into the C:\temp\ directory.
Note
The C:\temp\WMBatch\ directory is hardcoded into the scripts.
2. Edit the \Tools\config.xml file to specify the correct Aras Innovator URL, Database, and login credentials:

<BatchLoader>

 <server>http://localhost/InnovatorServer</server>

 <db>InnovatorSolutions</db>

 <user>root</user>

 <password>innovator</password>

 <delimiter>\t</delimiter>

 <max_processes>1</max_processes>

 <threads>1</threads>

 <lines_per_process>250</lines_per_process>

 <encoding>utf-8</encoding>

 <first_row>1</first_row>

 <log_level>3</log_level>

</BatchLoader>

3. Run the 002-Document.batfile.
4. Run the 003-WM.bat file.

The following process describes a basic test for the Sample Watermarking process:

1. Log into Aras Innovator as admin.
2. Go to TOC --> Documents --> Documents.
3. Run a search for a PDF Watermark Document.
4. Right-click the PDF Watermark Document and click Add Item to Change.
5. Create a new Express DCO without closing it.
6. In the Signoffs tab, use the VOTE NOW options, and move the Document to Initial Review.
7. Navigate back to the PDF Watermark Document to view the watermark on the file.
