Installing and configuring the Taskmaster Web Client upload service

After you scan files and create batches with Taskmaster Capture, you can upload the files by using the Taskmaster Web Client upload service.

You can upload the files immediately or schedule an upload for a specific time. By scheduling the file upload later, you can configure the service to upload the files at a time when network usage is lower.

You can upload batches with the Taskmaster Web Client upload service in the following ways:
  • Upload batches that are scanned by using Taskmaster Web.
  • Upload batches that are configured to use strict upload. With this method, batches initially are created on the client with Taskmaster DotScan, Rulerunner, or FastDoc.The Web Client upload service processes strict upload batches by creating batch folders in a shared location and then transfers both images and the page file. During the scan, the images are stored locally by Taskmaster DotScan, Rulerunner, or FastDoc, then the Web Client upload service uploads them.
  • Upload batches with FastDoc by setting the StrictUpload parameter to false and entering an FDPathMask. The Web Client upload service runs a batch-creation task, which creates a batch and then uploads images and XML files. The Web Client upload service sets the batch level variable FDBatchID to track the original batch number. It then writes a line for each uploaded batch in the parent batch in the dir \dc2run.log file. After the batch is successfully processed, the FastDoc page file is removed.

To set up the Taskmaster Web Client upload service to run Taskmaster Web uploads in the background on remote scan stations:

  1. Ensure that you are using the correct Taskmaster software version on all servers and workstations.
  2. Install the Taskmaster files.
  3. Edit the configuration file to match your environment and application. Configure the intervals at which you want the Taskmaster Web Client upload service to run background uploads.
  4. Copy the files to each remote scan station. Edit individual configuration files to reflect the correct scan operator user ID, password, and station ID. Install the service on each scan station.
  5. Configure the service to start automatically and start the service on each remote scan station.
  6. Begin or continue scanning.

    The Web Client upload service uses the Local Account to access scanned batches for that scan station. The upload service accesses the scanned batches in the Taskmaster Web Scan Into folder. The service also uses that account to upload the scanned batches and delete the batches from that folder after a successful upload

    If the Scan Into folder is not on the scan station, configure or ensure that there is a domain account that Taskmaster Web Client Service can use. Set up the appropriate sharing, sharing permissions, and folder security, and grant the Taskmaster Web Client Service domain account Full Control on the Scan Into folder.
