What's new in IBM Datacap Version 9.1.9

New features

Datacap health monitoring solution

Datacap health monitor is a solution to monitor various activities going on in a Datacap environment. The goal of this solution is to have a single place from where all the Datacap components can be monitored, and to generate alerts whenever any discrepancy is observed.

For more information see, Datacap Health Monitoring Solution

New batch summary reports added to Report Viewer

For more information, see Standard reports

Exchange Integration Graph API support

The Office 365 Exchange integration in Datacap now supports Graph API with Exchange Modern Authentication.

Microsoft will disable Basic Authentication in Exchange Online in the near future, therefore Datacap applications should change to use the new Modern Authentication ASAP.

For more information on setting up Modern Authentication with Graph API, see Setting up Microsoft Azure app for authentication

Maintenance Manager improvements

We have introduced a database cleanup action to cleanup orphan records in the taskstatstable. The cleanup should be scheduled to run periodically during off hours time.

For instructions on how to run database cleanup, see ProcessDeleteTaskStatsData

Datacap Document Processing improvements

Datacap now has improved integration with Automation Document Processing. Datacap now shows the status of batches sent to Automation Document Processing.

For details on enabling ADP Batch status in Datacap, see DocumentProcessingUpdateBatchStatus

Log Tools

A set of log collection and analysis tools are included with Datacap version 9.1.9. These tools make it easy to collect logs from the various servers and analyze them.

For more information on log tools, see Setting up environment for using Log tools

New action libraries added

Three new actions are added to EWSMail action library.

• ex_login_O365_OAuth_Graph()
• ex_scan_graph()
• ex_logout_graph()

These new actions use Microsoft Graph APIs to scan mail folder, download mails and attachment details in the batch folder. All processed mails will be appropriately moved to existing folders as per setup. These new actions will enable clients to move from EWS protocol and use Microsoft graph APIs to process mails and attachments in the batch folder.

Two new actions are added to RecognitionOCRPL action library

• RecognizeFieldOCRPL - This field-level action performs recognition for a zoned field and retrieves associated field settings from the OCR/PL tab.
• RecognizeOMROCRPL- This field-level action performs recognition for a zoned OMR field and retrieves associated field settings from the OCR/PL tab of the recognition options in Datacap Studio.

DocumentProcessingUpdateBatchStatus action is added to DocumentProcessing action library

Deprecated, dropped in IBM Datacap version 9.1.9
