Vose Software Requirements

These are the software requirements for some repository connectors, extractors, pipeline steps and processing tasks in Vose.

Notes

Voyager recommends using Libre Office whenever possible. Microsoft Office can be used for office document extraction, but customers should be aware that there are limitations. Under some circumstances, the office workers can crash, which causes full document extraction to fail.

This is a known issue with Microsoft Office server-side implementations.

NOTE: Microsoft does not recommend using server-side automation of Office products as there are limitations to the functionality and overall stability.

This document details the server-side limitation of office products:

For these reasons, Voyager highly recommends using Libre Office for office document extraction.
