Installation and deployment
- Backup of Dispatcher Paragon (configuration, database, and more) can be done using the documented procedure. Please follow the product documentation for backup and restoration.
FlexiSpooler in server mode and Spooler Controller components must be installed on the same server.
- After updating FlexiSpooler in client mode, the Offline Print capability needs to build a new list of last used printers.
- PostgreSQL database server uses GMT time zone by default. If a management server is in a different time zone, the PostgreSQL time zone has to be set accordingly. Description: Administrative Guide / Installation and deployment / Software / Configure PostgreSQL time zone for correct print job and report data.
