Ascent® 7.5 Release Script for FileNet Content Manager 4.5 Release Notes

14

Kofax, Inc.

„

If the content element is specified to be a multipage image type or Kofax PDF image

type, then the content element is combined with other images (if any) to form one

content element. The content element is released with the appropriate file extension as

specified by the image type. However, the content element uses the Ascent Capture file

naming scheme, which is the {Document ID}.

„

If the document is released with the SupportsOriginalFileName property set to FALSE,

each content element contained within the document is released with the file name

assigned by Ascent Capture

.

Notice that when the INF setting or the Ascent Capture Release module is not set, the release

script will not use the File Name Retention feature. In addition, OCR full text files and Kofax PDF

documents released from Ascent Capture do not use the File Name Retention feature, regardless

of the configuration.

Note

The SupportsOriginalFileName property is not case-sensitive.

File Name Considerations

If the Ascent Capture File Name Retention feature is enabled, problems may develop when a new

input file has the same name as a pre-existing file.

When releasing new input files with the File Name Retention feature enabled, the Ascent Capture

Release module checks the batch to see if pre-existing image files (including eDocuments) have

the same name as the new input file. Each document in the batch is checked to avoid duplicate file

names. If a match is found, the new input file is rejected and the following error message may

display:

A duplicate file name was encountered: <

FileName

>.

The rejected document will be routed to the Ascent Capture Quality Control module.

Duplicate File Names

The following case scenarios explain how a new image file may have the same name as a
pre-existing file when the Ascent Capture File Name Retention feature is enabled.

Case 1
When pages in an image file have been scanned, the file is named with a sequential number

that is assigned by Ascent Capture. However, if the document already contains an imported

file that used a similar file naming scheme (for example, 1.tif or 2.tif), the new scanned image

file may match the name of the imported file.
To illustrate, let’s say that you scanned the following pages into a document:

1.tif
2.tif
3.tif
4.tif
5.tif

The document already contains the following imported files:

1.tif
2.tif
3.tif
