Supported nesting level for Convert / number is out of

scope error reported in IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture

Abstract

Supported nesting level for Convert / "number is out of scope" error reported in IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture

Symptom

During conversion of documents into images using the Convert library actions, you may experience an aborted batch with a "number is out of scope" exception in the RRS log.

Resolving the problem

This behavior is by design as the Convert actions support a maximum nesting level of 3 (FileA -> FileB -> FileC -> FileD). This limitation is noted in the Datacap Studio help text for the Convert actions library. Documents that fail to adhere to this nesting level are unsupported and will abort.

Examples:

Msg -> Zip -> Word -> TIFF is OK

Msg -> Msg -> Zip -> single-page TIFF is OK

Msg -> Msg -> Zip -> Excel -> TIFF is not OK, batch aborts

EML -> Msg -> Zip -> Word -> TIFF is not OK, batch aborts
