Publication number: 20230359415Abstract: A facility for managing a document conversion environment is described. In various embodiments, the facility includes a native application associated with a native document type and an isolation service. The isolation service determines whether a native application associated with the native document type has started and when it has not started, starts the native application and causes the started native application to load and convert a native document to a common document format, wherein the isolation service starts a single instance of the native application and monitors the single instance of the native application so that it complies with specified a parameter, condition, or setting of operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: William R. Harman, Jonathan Isabelle, Michael Riedel

Patent number: 10652423Abstract: A configurable document server is described. In some embodiments, the configurable document server can enable administrators to set an option that prevents documents from being routed to users when the configurable document server experiences some types of errors. When the configurable document server determines that such an error condition exists, it may prevent the routing of the corresponding document. By preventing documents causing errors from being routed, the configurable document server enables administrators to improve the accuracy of document workflow and thereby improve productivity of users.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2016Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: OPEN TEXT SA ULCInventors: Jason K. Webster, Michael Riedel, Byron D. Hunt, Jr., Treber Rebert, Jonathan Isabelle, William R. Harman
