Running a batch through the workflow

You can run the batch through the workflow to test the automated background processing results. Use the Job Monitor and the Rulerunner log file to review the results and troubleshoot any problems.

To run a batch through the workflow:

1. Start Datacap Desktop by clicking IBM Datacap Clients > Datacap Desktop.
2. Log in to Datacap Desktop:
   1. Enter TravelDocs for the application.
   2. In the User ID and Password fields, enter admin.
   3. In the Station field, enter 1 and click Login.
   4. In the Shortcut field, select VScan from the menu.
3. In Datacap Desktop, browse to the image files in ../TravelDocs/images, select a file, and click Scan.
4. When the Datacap Desktop VScan task is complete, click Done.
5. Confirm that the Datacap Web Client Job Monitor and Rulerunner Manager are still running.
6. Arrange the Job Monitor and Rulerunner Manager so that both are visible on your desktop.
7. In Rulerunner Manager, click the Rulerunner tab and click Start.
8. Watch the status of the batch in the Job Monitor. The Task and Status fields go through the following sequence. You might not see each step because of the 10-second refresh interval and the Rulerunner 10-second polling interval.

   Sequence	First	Second	Third
   Task	PageID (Status pending > running)	Rulerunner (Status pending > running)	Verify (Status pending)

   The batch is now ready for verification. Because verification is a manual step, you must complete this task before Rulerunner can run the Export task.
9. Verify the batch as you did before by using Datacap Desktop or the Datacap Web Client.
   • When you reach the page with the invalid car type, set the type to Other.
   • If a validation failure message is displayed, click OK to override and continue.
   • When you reach the end, click OK to finish the batch.
10. Switch to the Job Monitor and watch the status of the batch as Rulerunner runs the Export task.

    Task:	Export
    Status:	pending > running > Job done
