-------- System Administrator Alert ----------
Your System Administrator or DeskTop support person should address the requirements below.

Proxy Server Settings:
Due to the nature of our web application, direct communication is required to our web server, therefore the following Domains need to be excluded from any and all Proxy/Caching servers between the client and our servers. There should be no caching on the Proxy servers at ANY level.
RecordsCenter Exceptions


When using the Minute Books and Document areas of RecordsCenter, the following applet needs to be installed. This is a one-time install. Please contact your Local Network Administrator if you do not have administration privileges on your PC.

Minimum Recommended setting for Content Transfer Applet in RecordsCenter application.

Browser:

Minimum Browser requirements for the Minute Books/Documents area: System Requirements: Users with power user rights should be able to use the applet without an issue. Any users without Power user rights will need to have the ability to install the two .cab files that are downloaded by the browser in addition users will also need these rights on the registry to perform these functions: Browser Machine Requirements:

Operating System Hard Disk Space* RAM CPU Display
Windows 5 MB 128 MB 800 MHz 800x600
Macintosh; 5 MB 640 MB 800 MHz G4 800x600
* You must also have sufficient free disk space to handle temporary content transfer files, which can vary substantially from one enterprise to another.

Once the applet had been installed a directory will be created on the local machine. This directory will be C:\documentum with two subfolders \contentXfer and \Checkout. Users that cannot write to the local disk on the machine will receive an error during checkout operations.

JRE version(s): The RecordsCenter application does not require users to user the Content transfer Applet until the user needs to Check In, Check Out or Cancel Check Out of any content in the Minute Books and Documents area. Where the applet gets installed depends on the browser and JRE you are using. If a user cannot install the Content Transfer Applet, transfer will not take place.
