IBM Datacap, Version 8.1

Updating the datacap.xml file on the Taskmaster server

The datacap.xml file on the Taskmaster server must contain references to the applications. The file must also contain the locations that are indicated in the file and that you are configuring for use.

Before you begin, identify the names and locations of the applications that you want the Taskmaster Application Service to be aware of.

Important: The Taskmaster Application Service is case-sensitive. When you add or change entries in the datacap.xml file, make sure that the case matches the case of the UNC paths, folders, and file names.

Open the C:\Datacap\datacap.xml file in a text editor on the Taskmaster server. It contains lines that look like this example:

<datacap ver="8.0">
   <app name="Flex" ref="Flex"/>
   <app name="TravelDocs" ref="\\ServerName\Datacap\TravelDocs"/>
   <app name="APT" ref="APT"/>
   <app name="AppWizard" ref="DStudio\AppWizard"/>
   <app name="NENU" ref="NENU"/>
   <app name="FastApp" ref="FastApp"/>
</datacap>

To delete references to applications that do not exist or are not configured, delete the corresponding <app name= lines. When the only application on the Taskmaster server is the TravelDocs application, delete all of the lines except the line for the TravelDocs application. The result looks like this example:
```
<datacap ver="8.0">
   <app name="TravelDocs" ref="\\ServerName\Datacap\TravelDocs"/>
</datacap>
```
To add references to applications that exist, add a line with the name of the application and the full UNC path to the application folder. When you add a line for the NENU application, your result looks like this example:
```
<datacap ver="8.0">
   <app name="TravelDocs" ref="\\ServerName\Datacap\TravelDocs"/>
   <app name="NENU" ref="\\ServerName\Datacap\NENU"/>
</datacap>
```
Save and then close the datacap.xml file.
