IBM Datacap, Version 8.1

Creating a NENU application

NENU applications setup batch monitoring, status notification, and automatic deletion of completed batches.

Before, you create a NENU application, you must be familiar with the following tasks:

Creating and modifying IBM® Datacap Taskmaster Capture applications by using Datacap Studio
Running Taskmaster applications by using a Taskmaster Client
The basic structure of Taskmaster batches and how batches move through the various stages in the Taskmaster workflow

Ensuring that the Taskmaster Server Service is started
The Taskmaster Server Service must be running before you start an application or a Taskmaster component. You can check the status of the service and start the service in the TaskmasterServer Manager.
Starting Datacap Studio to use the Application wizard
To use the Application wizard to copy an application, start Datacap Studio without opening an application.
Creating a NENU application on Datacap Studio
You can use Datacap Studio to create a NENU application to set up batch monitoring, status notification, and automatic deletion of completed batches.
Updating the datacap.xml file on the Taskmaster server
The datacap.xml file on the Taskmaster server must contain references to the applications. The file must also contain the locations that are indicated in the file and that you are configuring for use.
Setting the location of the Taskmaster Server and the Datacap.xml file
You must define the location of the datacap.xml and the location of the Taskmaster Server for the application that you want to run.
Setting NENU account security permissions for the Datacap\NENU application folder
When the Taskmaster Server is running Windows 2008, you must set up the appropriate security for the NENU account on the Taskmaster Server shared c:\Datacap\NENU Application folder.
Setting NENU account security permissions for the monitored application folder
When the Taskmaster Server is running Windows 2008, you must set up the appropriate security for the NENU account. Set up this security on the IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture Server application folder such as c:\Datacap\APT.
Ensuring that the Taskmaster Server Service is started
The Taskmaster Server Service must be running before you start an application or a Taskmaster component. You can check the status of the service and start the service in the TaskmasterServer Manager.
Opening the NENU application
You use Datacap Studio to open the NENU application.
Deleting rulesets from a NENU application
New RRS applications that you create by using the Datacap Studio Application wizard contain a default ruleset structure that monitors only another application. You can delete this default ruleset structure from the NENU application.
Adding actions to a NENU application
You can create a simple ruleset with actions that check the status of batches within a specified application workflow and email the results to an administrator.
Running a ruleset with NENU Manager
You can run a ruleset manually on NENU Manager. Running NENU manually is useful when you want to test the ruleset before you set up Windows Scheduler to run it automatically.
Configuring Windows Task Scheduler to automatically run a ruleset
AutoDelete batches with NENU
Earlier versions of IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture included an AutoDelete utility to automatically delete unwanted batches. This function is now available through NENU.
