Terminology Before you begin a basic understanding of some of the terminology used in
Kodak Capture Pro Software is helpful. Kodak Capture Pro Software is “job” based. A job is a configuration that is
setup to capture and process a set of documents that you want to scan. To scan documents in a job, you need to create a batch to hold the scanned
documents, images and data before you o utput them. Kodak Capture Pro Software organizes scanned documents in the following
hierarchy:
Batch: contains one or more scanned documents (similar to a folder or hanging file containing several sepa rate documents).
Document: contains one or more page(s) related to a single item (e.g., the contents of an envelope).
Page: are physical sheets of paper that are fed through the scanne r to produce images.
Image: electronic representations of scanned pages.
Output is the process of sending the batch to the desired output system / location in the format that you chose.
NOTE: See Appendix A, Glossary for a full listing Kodak Capture Pro Software
terminology.

The Job Setup function allows you to set up all the parameters for a job. A job is a configuration that is setup to capture and process a set of documents that you want to scan. This chapter provides information and procedures on how to select options on the Capture, Index and Output tabs that allow you to setup a job to meet your scanning needs. Once a job is setup, you can select the job required to scan a batch of documents and output them the way you want.
To setup jobs for use with Kodak Capture Pro Software you need to access the Job Setup dialog box. From Job Setup you can select an already-defined Job Name and use it as a template to customize the jobs you need to use in your environment.
There are three predefined jobs that come with Kodak Capture Pro Software: Ready to Scan — allows you to start scanning documents without any setup
using default settings. This job does not have any indexes defined and places all scanned images in a folder structure under the C:\ScanPro directory.
Accessing a job setup
Scan to PDF — similar to Ready to Scan, except when you scan your
document(s), the first page will be displayed in the Image Viewer and you will be prompted for a filename to be entered as inde x data. The ind ex data is used as the filename when you output the documents.
Scan to e-mail — similar to the Scan to PDF except a PDF file will be created and will be included as an attachment to an e-mail. When the scan is complete, the e-mail software application will be opened with your scanned attachment and be ready to send to an e-mail address from your e-mail account.
Depending on what you want to do, you can select one of these job setups to use as a starting point to setup your job.
• Click File>Job Setup. The Job Setup dialog box will be displayed.

Separation settings — Capture tab
By Count The By Count separation setting on the Capture tab allows you to enter the
The Separation option o n the Capture t ab a llows you to identify how you want to separate batches and document s for this job . There are several wa ys to add separators to your batches. The following list provides the op tions you can use to create separation settings in Kodak Capture Pro Software:
• with a bar code zone (see Chapter 6, Bar Code and OCR Setup)
• with an OCR zone (see Chapter 6, Bar Code and OCR Setup)
• with Patch codes 2, 3 or T (see Chapter 5, Patch Code Setup)
• by automatically counting pages in a document(s) in a batch (set this option up using the By Count option)
• with a blank page (set this option up using the By Blank Page option)
• by selecting Document>New or Batch>Next
• by pressing Enter during scanning
• by right-clicking on a page file in the Batch Explorer and clicking Split
The sections that follow provide information and procedures for using Kodak Capture Pro Software to automatically separate documents or batches by counting pages and how to use blank page separation.
number of documents that each batch will contain, and the number of pages each document will contain.
1. Choose Batch Level and/or Document Level.
2. Click Every at the Batch Level and enter the number of documents that
the batch must contain before a new batch is created.
4-10 A-61635 December 2010
3. Click Every at the Document Level and enter the number of pages that a
document must contain before a new document is created.
By Blank page When scanning images, you can insert blank pages to serve as separators.
Kodak Capture Pro Software can recognize blank pa ges and use them to start new batches, start new documents, or create attachments to documents.
To use this method enable the By blank page option and select the desired settings.
When you are simultaneously scanning black and white and color/grayscale images, Capture Pro Software can use either black and white or the color image to determine a blank page. When the software detect s a blank p age , all four images (Color front; Color back; Black and White front; and Black and White back) of the page are either deleted or attached to the new/current document, depending on the settings you created.
The size (in bytes) of both the front and rear images of a page must fall below the entered byte value for Capture Pro Software to recognize the page as blank. If the software does not recognize a blank page, it will ignore it as a separator.
NOTE: It is recommended that you test these values to ensure that the
software will detect your blank pages as a separator. See the next section “Testing your settings” for procedures.
Blank Page Image Separator when — activates blank page separation.
Image size (byte) is below — creates blank page separations based on the size (in bytes) of the blank page image. Specify the maximum amount of data (bytes) an image can contain and still be considered blank for each image type (Black & White, Color/Grayscale) that you will be scanning.
The image size is checked against the raw image coming from the scanner before operations are perfor me d .
- Black and White: enter the maximum image size in bytes for bl ack and white. By default, 3000 bytes is suggested for black and white images.
A-61635 December 2010 4-11
- Color/Grayscale: enter the maximum image size in bytes for color or grayscale. The maximum image size that can be specified is 1,000,000 bytes (1 MB) to allow for blank page separation when color scanning. 100,000 bytes is recommended.
Image content (%) is below — creates blank page separations based on the percentage of image content in the blank page image.
NOTE: If the pages you will scan are different sizes, a small page may fall
below your blank image byte count even though it contains data. In this case, you may prefer to describe a blank image by specifying % content rather than byte size.
- Black & White: enter the percentage limit for black and white images.
- Color/Grayscale: enter the percentage limit for color and grayscale images.
Test — opens the Test Image dialog box, which allows you to scan and test the blank page that is being used as a separator that will be considered blank when compared against the Image content (%) settings. Use this option to verify that the software considers the page to be blank. See the next section “Testing your settings” for more information.
What to do if a page is blank — select one of the options as the next step after the software recognizes a blank page separation.
Create a new batch — creates a new batch when a blank p age is detected.
Create a new document — creates a new document whe n a bl ank page is detected.
Next page stays in current document — deletes the blank page.
Delete page — when checked, the blank page will not be included in the batch or document that you are separating on.
Testing your settings 1. Place a document in the scanner that is representative of the document
you want to test for blank page separation.
2. Click Test to display the Test Image dialog box.
The results will be displayed in the Test result box.
• The image is: indicates if the image is Blank or Not Blank.
• Image size is - (bytes): the size of the test image in bytes.
• Content is - %: the percentage of content in the test image.
4-12 A-61635 December 2010
3. Evaluate the values displayed in the Image size is - (bytes) and/or
Content is - % test result area and click Close.
4. Based on the results, readjust your entered values as needed and click
OK.
Job Setup: Index tab
Indexing is a sophisticated feature that allows you to add data processing functions to your scanning, capturing and outputting of images at the document and batch level.
You can set up indexing formulas that check the accuracy of metadata contained in OCR zones and bar code zones. If OCR or barcode reading misinterprets data, the indexing formula can catch the errors and stop the scan.
You can setup indexing formulas that output your images to different locations based on metadata.
• For information on creating input formats, see “Input formats” later in this section.
• For information on creating output formats, see “Output format s” later in this section.
• For information on setting up indexes for output to SharePoint, see “Using the SharePoint Index Setup Wizard” later in this section.
The Index tab on the Job Setup dialog box allows you to define an index field at the Batch level and Document level. Index fields are setup the same way for Batch level and Document level.
Following are descriptions of the fields on the Index tab:
A-61635 December 2010 4-13
Action when audit fails — select the action you want the scanner to take when an audit fails.
Continue scanning: keep scanning even when the audit finds illegal index values.
Stop scanning: stop scanning and automatically enter Index Editing mode when the audit finds illegal index values.
Bypass audit during navigation — when checked, disables the audit function when navigating through docu men ts in the Batch Exp lor er. The term "audit" refers to the verification system that verifies all index values comply with the input/output format.
The Indexes field displays the values that are set up for each index: Name, T ype, Default V alue , Input Format, Output Format , Read-only , and Hidden. Y o u can edit, delete, move a value up or down in the list or add a new value by using the following buttons:

Input fixed string formats “text”
text is any text string. Because the start and end of the text string is defined by the character “ (double quote), the double quote cha racter is not allowed in the text string. A text string format is normally used in combination with other input formats.
Examples 999”-”99”-”999
Description — fixed string (to define a United States Social Security number)
"ID"
Description — fixed string.
Valid input examples

A-61635 December 2010 4-29
Index Default value specification
Default value expression is a text expression to set the default value for a particular index field. In default value expression, you need to define the default value by using one or more predefined tags (i.e., system, barcod e/OCR value) or a fixed string. You can also define multiple options of the default value by connecting tags with the OR keyword.
Tags <tagname> <tagname:transformexpression>
tagname is a pre-defined system, OCR or barcode zone data expression.
System data expressions include date, time, Station ID and name, Job and User name, batch and workgroup path, document an d p age ID and Last Value.
transformexpression is used to transform the format of the system or barcode/OCR value. For example the date is expressed as MMddyy, the transform expression may change the format to MM/dd/yyyy. See the next section for a description of transform expression.
Fixed string formats "text"
text is a fixed text string. The string delimiter character " (double quote) is not
allowed in the format. A fixed text string format is normally used in combination with other formats.
Using multiple tags A default value may include more than one tag expression used in
combination. For example you may want the Default value to include the date, time and Station ID separated by a dash. To do this concatenate them together.
For example:
<sys.date:ddMMyy>"-"<sys.time:hhmmss> "-“ <sys.stationid>
Using the OR keyword The OR keyword may also be included in the default value expression. This
may be useful when a value may not always be present. You may want to set the default value to the value of a barcode that appears on the document.
For example:
<barcode.UPI ID Number> If no barcode is found on the document, the index field will be empty. The OR
keyword can be used to provide an alternate value.
For example:
<barcode.UPI ID Number> OR “Barcode not found on document:” <app.documentid>
As many expressions as needed may be OR’d Default Value Option #1 OR Default Value Option #2 OR ... OR Default Value
Option #n The system will check the Default Value Option # one by one from left to right,
and use the first valid data to initialize the index data.
4-30 A-61635 December 2010
Available Tags — the following displays the available default value tags:
NOTE: Barcode/OCR zones will be displayed at the bottom of the default
value list.
Default value using LASTVALUE
When lastvalue is selected as the default value, Capture Pro Software automatically uses the last assigned value for an index field from the previous document (for document indexes) or previous batch (for batch indexes) whenever a new document or batch is created. This is useful, for example, in a backlog application, when you scan folders of documents with the same date. When you start scanning into a new batch, and no index value has yet to be assigned, enter the date once and it remains the same for every new document after that until you change it.
lastvalue is also very useful when performing bar code indexing but not every document scanned will have a bar code attached to it. For example, a default value expression of:
<barcode.Patient ID> OR <app.lastvalue> means that when a new document is scanned, assign the index field value to
the value of the bar code zone "Patient ID" <barcode.Patient ID>. However, if the document did not have a bar code on it, assign the index field instead to the value of the previous document OR <app.lastvalue>.
A-61635 December 2010 4-31
Transform Expressions A Transform Expression is a text expr ession to for mat or tran sfo rm the data of
a particular field into a default or output value. T ransform Expressions are used to define default values and output format for an index field.
Default value specification: when a new batch or document is created, the index field will be populated with a value based on the default value specification. The default value specification is entered on the Index tab and takes the form <tagna me> or <t agname:t ransform expression>. The transform expression is described below.
Examples:
<sys.date:ddMMyy> <sys.stationid:[1,5]>
Output format: when a batch is output, the index data for the batch and for each document in the batch will be reformatted based on the output format. For instance, a date index with a value of MMddyy can be reformatted to: MM/dd/yyyy.
The output format is entered on the Index tab and takes the form: transform expression.
Examples:
ddMMyy [1, 5]
The syntax can be one or a combination of the following formats:
• Text formats
• Number formats
• Time formats
• Fixed string formats
Transform text formats [start]
[start, end] [index, ‘delimiter’] [start; len]
These formats are used to extract a sub-string from the original index value. [start] — used to extract a sub-string starting at the position start to the end of
the original value.
• If start is a positive number, the start position will be counted from the
beginning of the original value.
• If start is a negative number, the start position will be counted from the end
of the original value.
• If start is 0 or *, the start position will be the beginning of the original value.

beginning of the original value.
• If end is a negative number, the end position will be counted from the end of
the original value.
• If end is 0 or *, the end position will be the end the original value.
• If the start position is after the end position, the sub-string will have the
reverse order of the original value.

Output formats An Output Format is a text expression to format the data of a particular index
field into an output value. Transform Expr essions are used to de fine the output format for an index field.
Output format: when a batch is output, the index data for the batch and for each document in the batch will be reformatted based on the output format. For instance, a date index with a value of MMddyy can be reformatted to: MM/dd/yyyy.

Using the SharePoint Index Setup wizard
The SharePoint Index Setup provides a quick, easy way of configuring a Capture Pro Software job setup for use with your existing SharePoint site.
The setup wizard will guide you in connecting to your SharePoint site, creating index fields to populate SharePoint columns and defining storage paths for images.
The wizard is aware of SharePoint data types and will recommend index field formats to ensure properly formatted and ‘in range’ data capture. In the case of columns of type ‘choice’, the wizard will populate a drop-down list with the acceptable data values.
The SharePoint Index Setup Wizard will guide you through four steps:
Step 1: SharePoint setup: Create, Edit, Select SharePoint Connection
1. Select a ‘connection’ to the SharePoint site where you want to place the
batch images and data. A connection specifies the Host name, Site name and the Credentials required to access the site. You may provide a meaningful name to the connection for future use.
4-40 A-61635 December 2010
If no connections have been defined, the Create a SharePoint connection dialog box will be displayed.
1. Enter a Host name for the connection. You will use this name to refer to
this specific SharePoint site.
2. Enter the credentials, if required, to access this SharePoint site.
3. Enter the Host name. For example: https://my-SharePoint-host.
4. Enter the Site name. If the host name and credentials are correct, you can
click Browse to select the available sites.
Step 2. Creating Document Index Fields based on your existing SharePoint columns
After selecting one of the available SharePoint Lists fo und on your Shar ePoint site and selecting the Document Type, the SharePoint columns will be displayed.
The Column Type will be shown and the Required checkbox will be checked if the column is required by your SharePoint List.
By default the Create Index checkbox will be checked for all column types that may be populated by the automatically created and configured index fields. If you do not want to populate a specific column or if you do not require a new Index field to populate a specific column, then uncheck the Create Index checkbox. If you want to create an index field for a SharePoint column that is not checked, check the Create Index check box and then click Edit to configure the index field. You will have the opportunity later to specify the data that is to be stored in a column.
As an example of when to uncheck the Create Index check box imagine that the SharePoint column ‘Full Name’ is to contain a persons name in the form ‘last name, first name’.Two existing index fields, ‘First Name’ and ‘Last Name’, will be used to populate this column. The mapping of these two index fields will be done later, for now uncheck the Create Index checkbox for the ‘Full Name’ column as an index field ‘Full Name’ is not needed.
An ‘Input Format’ will be recommended for each new index field based on the data requirements of the SharePoint column. You should not need to change the recommended format unless you need to further restrict the dat a range or data type.
A ‘Default Value’ will be shown if a default value has been specified in SharePoint for the column. Y o u may change an existing value or add a defa ult value if a value is not shown simply be selecting the drop down list. A list of default predefined values, including any defined bar code or OCR zones will be displayed. If you require a more complex default value, select Edit. You will be able to define the default value using one or more predefined tags or fixed strings.
A-61635 December 2010 4-41
The ‘Status’ column will indicate if there are any issues in creating an index field. Selecting a row containing the indication will display a Status Message in the area below the Edit button. This symbol indicates that an index field will not be created for this SharePoint column. In most cases this is because the column type may not be automatically created by the application. For example the column type ‘calculated’ requires references to other SharePoint column that are not known by the application. You may choose to create an index field for this column by checking Create Index.
Selecting a row containing the indication will display a status message in the area below the Edit button . Th e status me ssa ge will de scribe the problem and how it may be resolved. This symbol indicates that there is a problem creating the index field that must be resolved before continuing. You can uncheck the Create Index check box if the index field is not needed.
To add or edit other index field parameters such as ‘Output fo rmat’, ‘Substitu te Characters’ and ‘List’ (for drop down index fields) select the row for the appropriate index field and click Edit.
Step 3. SharePoint setup: Selecting values to populate SharePoint columns
Now that you have created index fields, you may use these index fields along with system values (Job name, Batch name, date, time, etc.), OCR zone values, Bar code zone values or combinations of these values to populate your SharePoint columns.
4-42 A-61635 December 2010
The SharePoint columns that require a value are shown at the top. By default the index field created in Step 2 is used to populate the column. To select a different value, select the SharePoint column and select the change control icon. Y ou can select one or more items from the list, including fixed text strings enclosed in double quotes. For example "Created : "<DATE_DDMMYY>.
Any SharePoint column that was not included in Step 2 (Create Index checkbox not checked) will not show a default value. This is because no index field was created for this column. You may still define a value for this column using other index fields, system values, OCR and bar code zone values or combinations of these values.
TIP: The SharePoint Name column will define the name of the file stored in SharePoint. In Step 4 you will decide how to group images.
If you group by Multi-Page for each ‘Document’, then each document must have a unique name. For example ‘Name’ may be <DOCUMENT_SEQUENCENUMBER>.
If you group by Single page, each image must have a unique name which means the Name column must contain a value that will be unique for each image. For example ‘Name’ may be <IMAGE_SEQUENCENUMBER_DOCUMENT>.
Step 4. SharePoint setup: Defining storage options and paths
The last step is to specify the format of the images and where you want to store the images in SharePoint.
The ‘Starting Folder” is the path to an existing folder in the current SharePoint site. The image paths you specify for ‘All’, ‘Black & White’ and ‘Color/ Grayscale’ will start at this folder. You may select Setup to view the available folders.
If you have Black & White and Color / Grayscale images and all the images are to be stored at the same location using the same image format then select the All checkbox.
Select the file type (Text, TIFF, PDF, etc.) for your output. Select Options to configure the file format for the file type you selected. For a description of the file format dialog boxes see the section entitled “Setup options for File (1) and File (2)” in Job Setup: Output Tab.
You may specify folder location for the image in the box below the file type. Select Setup to build the folder location from available system and field index values.
TIP: The Setup buttons allow you to specify the p ath and folder name in which to store images (SharePoint documents). Each ‘document’ must have a unique path and name or the document may be overwritten. If versioning is configured, a duplicate filename error may result. Verify that SharePoint ‘Name’ you choose in Step 3 is compatible with the path and image grouping selection you have made.
A-61635 December 2010 4-43
If you only have Black & White or Color / Grayscale images or you would like to have different file types for your Black & White and Color / Grayscale images then select the ‘Black & White’ and ‘Color / Grayscale’ check boxes.
To check-in documents to a SharePoint document library that has versioning enabled check the Check in after uploading check box. If your SharePoint List does not have versioning enabled a warning will be displayed and the box unchecked. Y ou may check-in documents with a major ver sion number (1.0) or with a minor version number (0.1). If your SharePoint is not configured to allow minor version numbering, a warning will be displayed and the major version number selected.
TIP: When SharePoint versioning is enabled, you may also need to configure SharePoint to ‘Require check out’.
When checking in, you may include a ‘Check In Comment’. The comment may be a fixed message or click Setup to build a comment using system and index values. For example: <STATION_NAME>" : " <USER_NAME>.
The predefined index called ‘Image Sequence number (batch)’ can start at a specific number by checking the Continuous image numbering from checkbox and providing a start value.
NOTE: Checking this box does not change the ‘Image Sequence number
(document)’ start value.
TIP: Before starting the wizard it is recom mended that cr eate any bar code and OCR zones that you want to include in the output to SharePoint.
Launch the SharePoint Index Setup Wizard by:
• Selecting File>Job Setup, then select the SharePoint Index Setup Wizard
button at the bottom of the Job Setup dialog box.

Index tab — Database Lookup
Database Lookup can be used to populate or validate batch and document index fields from ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) compliant data sources. A configuration wizard is used to specify the data source, define how the lookup is performed and what data is used to populate index files or validate the contents of index fields. A Job Setup may contain more than one Lookup. Each Lookup may be to a different data source and may be used to populate or validate selected index fields. Lookups may occur during scanni ng when the index value used for the Lookup is a result of a barcode reader or an OCR action. Each Lookup takes the form: SELECT <table column 1>, <table column 2>, ... <table column n> FROM <data source> WHERE <table column x> = <index field value>.
Configuring Database Lookup
Configuring Database Lookup starts with defining the batch and document index fields that will be used by the Lookup. Database Lookups are configured for each job.
NOTE: Defining of index fields in Job Setup has not changed from previous
versions of Kodak Capture Pro Software.
To add or edit a new lookup:
1. Click File>Job Setup. The Job Setup dialog box will be displayed.
2. Select a job setup from the Job Name drop-down list. The settings for the
job setup will be displayed.
3. Select the Index tab.
4. Select the Database Lookup tab. The Lookup s table will be displayed with
the following fields: Name, Input Index Field, Output Index Field (Batch) and Output Index Field (Document) for each Lookup.

• Select an existing File Data Source or Machine Data Source, or click New to create a new data sour ce. Depending on th e type of data so urce you have selected, you will be prompted for additional information.
• Click OK after all required information has been entered.
8. Select the table or file from the Database table drop-down list that contains the data that will be used to populate or validate the index fields.
9. Click Next to define how you want to do the data lookup.
10. Select Validate index fields from Lookup results if you want to verify one or more index field values match data in your data source.
11. Select Populate index fields from Lookup results if you want to fill in one or more index fields from the Lookup.
12. Select the index field to be used by the Lookup as a key to find matching values in the selected database from the Looku p index field drop-down list. This list contains all defined document and batch index fields.
13. Select the table column to be searched for values matching the selected Lookup index field from the Lookup table column drop-down list. This list contains all table column names from the selected database table.
14. For each batch or document index field that you want to populate or validate, select the database column that contains the desired data. Click in the column to the right of the index field name and select the database column from the drop-down list.
A-61635 December 2010 4-47
15. Click Next to choose the database lookup options.
16. Select the desired Lookup options:
Disable Lookup: when checked, Lookups will not be performed during
scanning. This may improve performance with large or remote databases. Lookups will continue to occur in Edit Index mode and when the batch is output.
Disable multiple lookup results if there is more than one result:
when checked, the Multiple Lookup Results table will not be displayed during scanning. Multiple Lookup results will be resolved in Edit Index mode, allowing scanning to continue uninte rr up te d.
Lookup will overwrite existing index value: when checked, the
Lookup will always populate an index field with the lookup value in the database, as long as the database entry has a value (i.e., is not empty or null). If you want users to be able to manually enter data into an index field that Database Lookup is populating, then this option should be unchecked or disabled.
NOTE: Database Lookup will never overwrite data when the batch is
output.
Disable Lookup during Output: when checked, no Lookup (populate
or validate) will occur during output. If unchecked, empty fields will be populated and missing or multiple records will be ignored. V alidation will fail if no matching record is found.

20. Click OK
A-61635 December 2010 4-49
Using Database Lookup After configuring a job to do a Database Lookup , it is important to understand
when the Lookup will be performed. The following are the common scenarios:
During Scanning - Populating index fields
When Disable Lookup during capture has not been checked, Lookups will occur on-the-fly during scanning.
The Lookup will only take place when the index field that is being used for the Lookup has a value that was populated during scanning (e.g., as a result of a bar code or zonal OCR read).
During Scanning - Validating index fields
When Disable Lookup during capture has not been checked, Lookups configured for index field validation only will also occur on-the-fly during scanning.
The Lookup Validation will only take place when the index field that is being validated has a value that was populated during scanning (e.g., as a result of a bar code or zonal OCR read).
NOTE: When Disable Lookup is not checked, Database Lookups will always
be performed during scanning. Even if the Index Field setup option Check field during scanning is disabled, the database lookup va lidation will still be performed.
4-50 A-61635 December 2010
Edit Index mode After scanning has been performed and the user enters Index mode
(Index>Edit Index Fields), the Lookup will always be performed on a document whenever the document is navigated to while in indexing mode.
If the index field that is being used for the Lookup already has a value (e.g., from bar code or zonal OCR) then the Lookup for a document will be performed automatically when navigating to the document.
If data is manually being entered in the index field, then the Lookup will be performed when the user leaves the index field. If the Tab key is used to navigate away from the index field just entered, the results of populating the other index fields will be displayed for verification. If the Enter key is used or one of the other indexing mode function keys (i.e., F9, F10, F1 1) to navigate to another document, then the Lookup will be performed and the other index fields will be populated. However, you will not see the results of the Lookup as that document is no longer being displayed in indexing mode.
If the Lookup index field is populated using Drag n’ Drop OCR, then the Lookup will be performed immediately and the results of populating the other index fields will be displayed for verification.
Batch Output Data base Lookup only occurs on output if the Disable Lookup on Output
option is not checked. When you click the Output tool, as part of Index field validation, Database Lookup for populating and validating index fields is performed immediately before the batch is queued for output processing. If a Database Lookup is populating index fields, errors will be ignored. If no record is found or multiple records are found, the current value in the index field will be unchanged or left empty. If a Database Lookup is validating index fields, an error will occur if no matching record is found. The batch will not be submitted for output and the error must be corrected before the batch can be successfully output.
If a batch is output from the Batch Manager screen or is automatically output from Job Setup, Database Lookup is performed immediately as part of the background batch processing. If a Lookup fails, the batch will be put into Index Error status.
When the batch is opened to correct the error, the document that had the Lookup failure will be automatically displayed and you can go into Index mode to correct the indexing problem and re-submit the batch for output processing.
