File Routing



This section will explain the route an audio file takes and where it is copied to along the way. Understanding this process will assist you in troubleshooting.

Telephony Files


If you have the telephony feature for your Phoenix Server, authors can create a dictation from any telephone. As soon as they connect and enter their user ID, a file is created locally on the Phoenix Server. Note that the VoiceSolutions root mentioned below is, by default, located on C:\ but can be installed on a different partition.

upon login, CVRS service creates a file it continuously writes to at   when dictation is complete, CVRS service moves file to   VSImportExportManager service creates file entry in database & moves file to
VoiceSolutions\CVRS\Files   VoiceSolutions\Import   VoiceSolutions\Files




PcDictate II Files


There are two ways to upload audio files from PcDictate II to the Phoenix Server. The first requires that the server and PcDictate II be on the same network. PcDictate II can then upload dictation files directly to the Import network share, from which it is then imported.

The second method is via HTTP/HTTPS, which allows uploading across the internet and also bypasses the local Windows network authentication (which could block access to the Import share because of inadequate user permissions). This process is shown below.

when sent in PcDictate II via HTTP, Apache2.2 service creates a file it continuously writes to at   when HTTP upload is complete, Apache2.2 service moves file to   VSImportExportManager service creates file entry in database & moves file to
VoiceSolutions\Upload   VoiceSolutions\Import   VoiceSolutions\Files




Dss Extractor Pro and DSS Files


There are two ways to upload audio files from Dss Extractor Pro to the Phoenix Server. The first requires that the server and Dss Extractor Pro be on the same network. Dss Extractor Pro can then upload dictation files directly to the Import network share, from which it is then imported.

The second method is via HTTP/HTTPS, which allows uploading across the internet and also bypasses the local Windows network authentication (which could block access to the Import share because of inadequate user permissions). This process is shown below.

when sent in Dss Extractor Pro via HTTP, Apache2.2 service creates a file it continuously writes to at   when HTTP upload is complete, Apache2.2 service moves file to   for conversion, VSImportExportManager service moves file to   DSS Converter service converts file to WAVE format   VSImportExportManager service creates file entry in database & moves file to
VoiceSolutions\Upload   VoiceSolutions\Import   VoiceSolutions\DSS     VoiceSolutions\Files




iNet 3


iNet 3 is a transcription application so it does not upload files, but downloads them. The process is shown below.

dictation file stored at   upon request, Apache2.2 service sends file via HTTP as chunks named 12345-Stream.wav to user's PC at   when finished, PC copy of file is deleted & database updated
VoiceSolutions\Files   C:\Mercury\iChannel\Temp   local copy deleted
