IBM Datacap, Version 8.1

Uploading batches stored locally by connecting to the Taskmaster server

When you use Taskmaster DotScan, Rulerunner, or FastDoc, you can create and store batches locally when you scan while your system is connected to the Taskmaster server.

You can use the Web Client upload service to upload those batches to the Taskmaster server. You must copy the Application file locally to each scan client where you want to use the dc2run script and set the StrictUpload setting to True. For example, the local version of the APT.app application uses the C:\Datacap\APT\batches directory. The main versions used by Taskmaster Web and the verified clients use the shared location. You must duplicate the Application file locally on the scan client so that you can change the batch folder location.

To connect with Taskmaster directly, and upload the images stored locally:

On the scanning workstation, open the dc2run.exe.config file.
Set the following setting: StrictUpload=True.
Remove the FDPathMask value.
Copy your application file, such as \\myServer\myShare\datacap.xml, to a different shared directory to be used by all scan stations or copy it to each scan station. Add the application to the datacap.xml file. The application entry in the datacap.xml file, such as FastApp, must point to the correct location for FastApp.app. If the application file is in a subfolder with the same name, you can use a relative reference. Otherwise, you can enter the full path, for example:
```
<app name="APT" ref="APT"></app>
<app name="FastApp" ref="c:\datacap\FastApp"></app>
```
Copy your application file, such as \\myServer\myShare\FastApp\FastApp.app, to a different shared directory to be used by all scan stations or copy it to each scan station to change the batch folder location.
Open the Taskmaster Application Manager, and click your application.
From the Service tab, change the Path to the application management file field to a path to the shared directory for the scan station clients or to a local path. The Path to the application management file setting currently points to the datacap.xml file, which populates the list of application names on the left side of the Taskmaster Application Manager window. Changing the path eliminates changing the settings on each client. The settings are all saved in one place.
From the Main tab, change the Batch folder to point to the local directory where files are to be stored prior to uploading.
Enable Create Batch Directory in Taskmaster Web.
1. Start Taskmaster Web and log in to the application that contains the Upload task.
2. Select Administrator > Workflow and the job that contains the Upload task.
3. Select Upload > Setup > Create Batch Directory and click Save.

When you run the upload task, the upload task creates a batch folder in the shared location and moves files to it. So the Application file must be saved locally to the Taskmaster DotScan, Rulerunner, or FastDoc station.
