Setting the location of the Datacap Server and the Datacap.xml file

You must define the location of the datacap.xml and the location of the Datacap Server for the application that you want to run.

Procedure

To define the location of the server and the datacap.xml file:

  1. On the developer workstation, in the Start menu click IBM Datacap Services > Datacap Application Manager. When User Account Control (UAC) is on, the User Account Control window opens. Click Yes.
  2. Select the application to which you want to set the location, such as TravelDocs, or APT. The paths are displayed in the fields on the Main tab.
  3. Ensure that all workflows are displayed. Check that all of the paths reflect the correct UNC paths to the various files and databases by using the Datacap Server name rather than C:\.
  4. Click Locale. Select the option that is associated with the language and regional settings that are used on most of the documents to be processed by the application. If you do not select a locale, the value that is set on the Regional and Language property sheet of the operating system is used.
  5. Click the Datacap tab and change the Name or IP address field to the IP address or the name of the Datacap Server without using backslashes.
  6. In the Protocol field, select the TCP/IP version that is used on your network. If you do not select a protocol, Datacap defaults to TCP IPv4.
  7. Click the Service tab and verify that the path reflects the correct UNC location of the datacap.xml on the server, such as \\Server\Datacap\datacap.xml.
  8. Close Datacap Application Manager.
