Laserfiche Repositories (Version 7) are not Displayed.

Summary

Laserfiche repositories (version 7) are not displayed when configuring Snapshot or defining document properties.

Cause

The Laserfiche Server broadcasts a list of available repositories. Snapshot receives the broadcast and displays this list in the Repository Login dialog box. If Snapshot cannot receive the broadcast, as is the case for version 7 repositories, it will look for them under the [IPDatabase] section of the LF.ini file.

Workaround

You can manually add a repository by editing [IPDatabase] section of the LF.ini file.

To modify the LF.ini file

  1. From a text editor, open the LF.ini file. See the More Information section for information on the location of the LF.ini file for your operating system.
  2. Under the [IPDatabase] section, add a line that looks like the following:

    YourRepository=ComputerName

    or

    YourRepository=IP_Address

  3. Save the changes.
