IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture is allowing only one client connection at a time


Problem(Abstract)

Datacap Taskmaster client application is allowing only one connection at a time.

Cause

The UNC path of Taskmaster client application is missing in the Datacap.xml.

Resolving the problem

Putting the UNC path to the application in the Datacap.xml file will resolve the issue.
To add the UNC path to an app, the format is as follows:
<app name="appname" ref="\\servername\Datacap\appname"/>

Here is the content of the default datacap.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datacap ver="8.0">
<app name="1040EZ" ref="1040EZ"></app>
<app name="Express" ref="Express"></app>
<app name="Flex" ref="Flex"></app>
<app name="Survey" ref="Survey"></app>
<app name="APT" ref="APT"></app>
<app name="MClaims" ref="MClaims"></app>
<app name="AppWizard" ref="DStudio\AppWizard"></app>
</datacap>

Here is the content of the default datacap.xml file with a UNC path for 1040EZ:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datacap ver="8.0">
<app name="1040EZ" ref="servername\1040EZ"/>
<app name="Express" ref="Express"></app>
<app name="Flex" ref="Flex"></app>
<app name="Survey" ref="Survey"></app>
<app name="APT" ref="APT"></app>
<app name="MClaims" ref="MClaims"></app>
<app name="AppWizard" ref="DStudio\AppWizard"></app>
</datacap>
