Looking for resources or know-how on migrating WEBCON OCR installation to a separate server

1

hello,

If you're planning to migrate your WEBCON OCR installation to a separate server, make sure you have a clear understanding of the current configuration and dependencies. Backup all OCR-related files, databases, and configurations before starting. Consult the official WEBCON documentation or support for guidance specific to your version. It's also a good idea to test the migration in a staging environment first to avoid disruptions. Anyone with experience doing this or useful resources to share—your input would be greatly appreciated! Let's make this migration smooth.

Hi,
I can't find any direct docs on how to do it, but to start with, there is a Services configuration in System configuration.
For each service you can define roles which it will perform.
I'd try installing Webcon on a separate server, and then add it as a service?


Some sources which i've found around this topic:
* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/SystemSettings/ServiceConf/SystemSettings_ServiceManagDetails
* https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/service-the-logic-and-operation/395/3

Hi,
you should also check if this requires an additional WEBCON server license on this new machine

Hi,

Thanks a lot for pulling this information together – I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

It’s a bit of a shame that WEBCON doesn’t provide official documentation for this kind of setup, especially since offloading OCR can be a real necessity in production environments with high load. It would definitely help if there was a clear guide or best practices from the vendor.

Your suggestion gives me a good starting point – I’ll look into it soon and see how it goes. Thanks again!
