GETTING STARTED GUIDE I LAW PREDISCOVERY
Distributed Batch Processing
Distributed batch processing allows multiple LAW PreDiscovery stations to process the same batch
simultaneously, while using the same settings that were specified on the machine that initiated the shared job.
Only the documents selected on this initial machine will be processed.
This shared processing is available for the following batch processes:
n Image Cleanup
n Endorse
n OCR
n TIFF Conversion
n Update Page Data
When a batch has been generated, an INI file will be placed in the case folder (\$UserData\BatchProcessing\
All Users) that uniquely identifies the batch. This directory is scanned for INI files when the Batch Process
utility is launched. If any INI files are present, the user will be given the option to “join” processing.
The next steps will demonstrate how to create, join and delete a shared batch.
To initialize a shared batch:
1. In the Batch Processing dialog box (Tools menu), choose the documents to include for processing.
