Known problems, restrictions, and solutions

Known problems, restrictions, and solutions that affect administration and usage of interim fixes are documented as technotes in the product support knowledge base. To review all known problems, restrictions, and solutions that affect Datacap, see the support knowledge base.  

To review all known problems, restrictions, and solutions that affect version 9.1.9, see  IBM Datacap Version 9.1.9 Release Notes .

To view IBM Datacap 9.1.9 documentation, see  IBM Docs Datacap V9.1.9 .

Known Problems

  • In order to prevent losing the previously configured settings in the authentication system, Batch naming template etc., in the Datacap tab under the Datacap Server Manager Advanced Setting section, it is recommended to back up any and all registry settings stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Datacap folder prior to installing any ifix on the Datacap system. After the installing of an ifix, check all tuning, and configurations for items that may have been removed or reverted.
  • After applying Microsoft's security vulnerability CVE-2022-38023 patch released by Microsoft on June 11, 2023, application pool users are required to use a service principal name (SPN). For example, in the Set Credentials window, modify the application pool user to use a service principal name (SPN) instead of the Datacap Web Client domain/Windows account information.

Restriction

Do not use action ex_login for basic authentication, as Microsoft has discontinued support for
basic authentication for cloud users. Use modern authentication functionality such as OAuth and Graph
API. On-premise users can continue to use this action as usual.

Feature enhancements for Datacap 9.1.9, interim fix 002

Support for 64-bit Taskmaster Service in the 32-bit Datacap environment: This feature is implemented so that Taskmaster Service can now use double the memory space in Datacap environment. For more information, see Migrating from 32-bit to 64-bit Taskmaster Service.

Password management using automation

Using the password management tool you can maintain passwords for IBM Datacap. The password management dll exports functions to maintain various passwords used by IBM Datacap. For more information, see Password management using automation.
Scanning documents in an Entry Template Associated folder with IBM Content Navigator

You can scan a document in IBM Content Navigator in an Entry Template Associated folder by using the Add Document action. This feature is available when you configure IBM Datacap and IBM Content Navigator for transactional capture and associate Entry template with specific folder. For more information, see documentation.
Encoding bar code values in High Speed Scanning

Bar code values can be encoded using the flag "encodeBarCodeValues". For more information, see Encoding bar code values in High Speed Scanning.
Datacap Desktop TWAIN interface improvements.
  1. Datacap Desktop application scanning only with TWAIN interface has been enhanced to expose the scanner driver’s “automatic color detection” feature when supported by the scanner driver.  This feature automatically detects whether scanned documents are color, grayscale, or black and white there by eliminating the pre-sorting of batched documents and the inserting of separator sheets previously needed to divide color and black & white documents.
  2. In order to persist Kodak scanner driver’s profile settings when scanning with twain interface in Datacap Desktop application, a new flag labeled “UseProfileSettings” needs to be enabled in the scantwain.xml file located in ":\Users\{USER]}\AppData\Roaming\IBM\" folder.  The default value is False.
  3. LEADTOOLS dependencies used for TWAIN panel has been updated from v.18.0.4.0 to v22.0.0.25.
For more information, see documentation.

Maintenance Manager improvements

New action ProcessDeleteBatchesInBulk is added to delete batches in bulk. The performance of the delete operation is improved due to this action. For more information about a known issue, see documentation.
Other Enhancements
  1. OCRPL Library has been extended to support Windows 2019 and 2022.
  2. Enhanced Rulerunner services to clear orphan registry entries when the matching batch is not found in the Engine database tables.
  3. Enhanced Datacap Transactional Capture to expose the "Document from scanner" option in the "What do you want to save?" drop down field under the General settings when configuring Add Document by using Entry Template.
  4. Enhanced P8 actions to add the P8 Document ID to the Export.xml at the document level.
  5. Enhanced Datacap Navigator's 'Click and Key' feature to persist the highlighted section if a field is selected or a new zone is created.
  6. The Config file in Datacap Health Monitoring tool can now be edited through the UI. Earlier, users could edit it directly through the tool directory, which led to many problems.
