One of the new features in ITScriptNet V3.0c is the ability to automatically archive all data received by the Omni Server.  This is a safety feature to ensure that no data is lost in the event that your back-end database server is down when a portable device sends its collected data.  The Omni Server will archive all downloaded Collected Data, as well as Images, Signatures, and GPS tracking data.

You can configure whether Archiving is enabled, as well as specify a clean-up time.  This causes the OMNI Server to delete archived data older than a threshold you specify, so that data does not accumulate forever.

The ONMI Configuration utility has all of the archiving options.

ITScriptNet 3.0c (8) has been released!  This new version adds support for several new clients, including the Motorola MK500, the BlueBird Pidion BIP-1300, Opticon 7x00, and Cross Match BE.U.  We've also added some new features, including automatic data archiving in the OMNI Server.  We've discussed some of the new features before, and we'll have more information in upcoming entries.  You can download a demo of ITScriptNet 3.0c or upgrade your existing installation from our ITScriptNet Product Page.  You can read about all of the update in the Knowledge Base.

Intermec has announced two new devices, the CN50 and CN4.  Both devices appear to be similar in size to the CN3, and both run Windows Mobile 6.1.  They also have an imaging capability called Enhanced Mobile Document Imaging, which Intermec claims will allow taking full-page document images.

Assuming that the scanner and hardware interfaces are similar to the CN3, we should be able to add support for these devices to ITScriptNet without any difficulty.  Intermec says the devices will be available in Q3 2009.
