Worldox application files

Most Worldox users never have to use any Worldox files except for the main application program. If you do - or are curious about Worldox resources - here are some of the main players:

In the shared WORLDOX program folder

Worldox GX3 consists of three principal program components:

Application	File Name	Description
Worldox	WBGX.exe	This is the main application used to manage documents. Note: In versions before the GX2 Productivity Suite, this file was called wda.exe.
Worldox	WDMIRROR.exe	This is the name of the executable file used to run Worldox in mirrored mode on your desktop.
Worldox Administration Program (WDADMIN)	WDADMIN.exe	Worldox Administrators use WDADMIN to set up, configure, and maintain Worldox.
Worldox Indexer	WDINDEX.exe or WBINDEX.exe	The Indexer creates and maintains the central Worldox database, or index. This program runs continually in server mode on the Worldox Indexer workstation, updating the database as users work with documents. Note: In GX2, this file was called WAINDEX.exe.

EXE names can change version to version. However, using standard best practice shortcuts avoids any problems as they use launchers that do not change. Thus to run the main Worldox application program, run WDMIRROR.exe

Example: C:\worldox\wdmirror.exe

Your Worldox Administrator will no doubt arrange the necessary shortcuts and links to start any Worldox application files you need.

Several supporting programs are also part of the Worldox program suite. These are used by Worldox Administrators in working with Worldox, and to manage Worldox-maintained files:

Application	File Name	Description
WDINFO	WDINFO.exe	WDINFO is a real-time system-monitoring utility that keeps Worldox Administrators informed as to the state of the Worldox system. WDINFO has been redesigned and enhanced for GX3.
WDCopy	WDCopy.exe	WDCopy is a utility program used by Worldox to send documents to external programs such as PDF conversion software.
WDUpdate	WDUpdate.exe	WDUpdate is a utility program introduced in the GX upgrade. It is used by Worldox Administrators to download and install program updates and service releases.
WDExport	WDExport.exe	WDExport is a utility program used to export document profile information from Worldox.
WDXlat	WDXlat.exe	WDXlat is a utility program that converts documents between various formats - typically used when converting from a different document management system.

Many more files are used by Worldox than are listed here. Many of these are configuration files - simple text documents listing various settings used to customize Worldox behavior and appearance.
