IBM DATACAP-How do I change the batch numbering configuration for IBM Datacap Taskmaster

Cause

1. When Taskmaster Client runs a batch creation task, such as a scan task, it first requests a new batch number from the Taskmaster Server
2.  Taskmaster Server generates a new number via a component called batchn32.dll. 
3. A library of files comes with the Taskmaster install that can be used to overwrite the default batchn32.dll to change the batch numbering scheme. 
4. These files are named batnewXX.dll where XX is a number from 01 to 15 and represent the different formats available.

Answer

Procedure

1. Stop Taskmaster Server.
2. Go to C:\Datacap\dcshared\batchnew\batchnew.txt  to read the details about the different batch Numbering details
3. Copy the desired BATNEWxx.DLL from the \Datacap\dcshared\batchnew folder to \Datacap\dcshared\BATCHN32.DLL, changing the name to overwrite the existing file.
4. Using the appropriate database tool, edit the Taskmaster engine database, enginfo table.
5. Clear the db_LastBatch, db_lastQueue and db_LastDate fields. This is not necessary for all changes, but if you cannot create a batch after making the change, be sure to do this step.
6. Restart Taskmaster Server.
