IBM Datacap, Version 8.1            

Running a batch through the workflow

To introduce a document integrity problem, add an optional insurance page to the end of the batch. This orphan page causes the document integrity process to raise an error condition and Taskmaster routes the batch to the FixUp task.

After you fix the document integrity problem by deleting the page, processing can continue as normal.
Remember: The goal here is to demonstrate the routing capabilities of Taskmaster. So, deleting the problem page is acceptable. Typically, the corrective action is specified in the business requirements.

To run a batch through the workflow:

  1. Open C:\Datacap\TravelDocs\images.
  2. Delete the files CarRental.tif and OffsetAirTicket.tif (the files that you used for text and pattern matching).
  3. Make a copy of Images_Page_02.tif (the first optional insurance page) and name the copy Images_Page_14.tif to create an orphaned insurance page.
  4. In the Rulerunner Manager window, confirm that the Datacap Rulerunner Service service is running.
  5. Start and log in to the Taskmaster Web client, and click VScan on the Operations tab.
  6. In the VScan window, click Browse, go to C:\Datacap\TravelDocs\images. Then, select a file and click Open, then click Scan.
  7. When the VScan task displays a message to indicate that the scanning is complete, click OK, click Done then click OK and Stop.
  8. On the Taskmaster Web client Operations tab, click Upload.
  9. When the Upload task displays a message to indicate that the task is complete, click OK and then click Stop.
  10. In the Taskmaster Web client, click the Monitor tab to display the Job Monitor page, click Job Monitor to display the job queue.
  11. Wait until the Profiler task picks up and finishes the pending batch, and passes the batch to the CreateDocs task.

    The CreateDocs task raises a condition flag and routes the batch to the FixUp task (a manual task that Rulerunner cannot process).

  12. Click the Operations tab and click Fixup.
  13. Select the batch with the FixUp task that is pending, and click Yes in the dialog to confirm that you want to start the selected batch. The batch opens in the Taskmaster Web FixUp window. The last document is selected and the Comments field indicates that the document has an invalid member (the orphaned insurance page).
  14. Select the page TM00001 and click Delete. Then, click OK to confirm. Taskmaster deletes the page and the parent document.
  15. Click Finish and then click OK in the Task Finished message box. The FixUp task now has status of Job done and the batch is now pending for the Profiler task.
  16. Wait until the Profiler task picks up the pending batch and processes the batch. When Profiler is completed, the batch is pending for the Verify task.
  17. Open the pending batch in DotEdit or Taskmaster Web and submit the batch as before. Then, switch to the Job Monitor window and watch the status of the batch as Rulerunner completes the Export task.
  18. Delete the file Images_Page_14.tif from the images folder so you do not encounter this problem again.
