# BarTender 2016

The BarTender connector can be used to integrate with BarTender 2016 R8, typically to print BarTender documents.

32-bit version of BarTender 2016 R8 Automation Edition or Enterprise Automation Edition needs to be installed on the same machine as Flow Server.

#### Configuration <a href="#configuration" id="configuration"></a>

* Path to look for .btw files in\
  &#x20;Specifies where to find BarTender documents. Required in order to print documents (unless using BTXML). Must be a path that is accessible for the user specified in 'Design time identity' while developing workflows and accessible for the runtime user (either set per Flow user or in 'Global runtime identity') when executing the workflow. If no identity is provided, the identity of the application pool running Flow Server is used.
* Default printer\
  &#x20;Name of printer to use. Leave empty to use the printer set on BarTender document. The printer can also be overridden in print operations.
* Global runtime identity\
  &#x20;Identity of user to run BarTender operations as. If any *Domain* is specified here it will be applied also on identity specified on Flow user. If no runtime identity is provided, the identity of the application pool running Flow Server will be used.
* Design time identity\
  &#x20;Identity of user to use while designing workflows. Never used in runtime. If left empty (i.e *User* not specified) and *Global runtime identity* is provided, *Global runtime identity* will be used also while designing workflows. If no runtime identity is provided, not design nor runtime, the identity of the application pool running Flow Server will be used.
* Cache metadata\
  &#x20;Specifies whether the connector should cache any metadata regarding what BarTender documents there are and what parameters they have.
