Updating the datacap.xml file on the Datacap server

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

About this task

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

Important: The Datacap 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.

Procedure

Open the C:\Datacap\datacap.xml file in a text editor on the Datacap 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"/>
</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 Datacap 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 Datacap Maintenance Manager 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.
