Deployment Workflow Guideline

The instruction below walks you through deploying and initial setup of the following components: ABBYY Recording Service, ABBYY Recorder, and ABBYY Recording Service Agent.

Step 1. Make sure your computers are ready for ABBYY Timeline components

Before you begin installing ABBYY Timeline components:

  1. Check the system requirements.
    These requirements help you know whether your computers support ABBYY Timeline components.
  2. Apply the latest Windows and other program updates.
    These updates ensure that your computer has the latest security updates.
  3. Reboot.
    The reboot ensures that any pending installs or updates don't hinder the ABBYY Timeline components install.
  4. Free up space.
    Remove unneeded files and applications from your %SystemDrive%, as well as discs that you intend to use, for example, to store the Timeline or Recording Service databases.
  5. If you intend to configure HTTPS, please visit the Using HTTPS section.

Step 2. Install ABBYY Timeline

If you are going to use ABBYY Timeline on-premises, refer to the Deployment Guide on Windows Systems for guidelines.

Important. Recording Service components and Timeline must be installed on separate computers.

Step 3. Install ABBYY Recording Service

  1. Run the ABBYY.RecordingService.6.1.*.exe file and follow the on-screen instructions in the Installation Wizard.
    If you receive a User Account Control notice, choose Yes.
  2. Specify the necessary network settings.
  3. Make sure Recording Service has been installed correctly by performing a health check on Recording Service.
  4. Optionally, install auxiliary Recording Service Agents to extend available resources of the Recording Service server.

Refer to Installing Recording Service and Installing Recording Service Agent sections for guidelines.

Step 4. Establish the trust relationship between ABBYY Recording Service and ABBYY Timeline

For interaction between Recording Service and Timeline, OAuth must be configured.

  1. Register Recording Service as a client on the Timeline website and obtain credentials (Client ID and Client Secret).
    Please refer to the Registering a New Client on ABBYY Timeline website section for guidelines.
  2. In the Recording Service website specify the Timeline authentication details using the credentials you obtained in step 1.
    Please refer to the Configuring authentication setting in Recording Service section for guidelines.

Step 5. Install ABBYY Recorder on users' computers

  1. Install the Recorder on the users' workstations using the method of your choice.
    Please refer to the Installing Recorder section for guidelines.
