Requirements for IBM Datacap
Taskmaster Capture Version 8.0.1
This page describes the minimum system requirements to operate IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture Version 8.0.1. Any configuration that exceeds these minimum requirements will result in better performance.
Important:
Because other products frequently ship fixes, updates, and new releases, testing every configuration is not possible. In general, you can install and run with updates to supported products if those updates are forward compatible.
Minimum system requirements
The following table specifies the minimum system requirements for an installation of each type of station:
Station Type | CPU/equiv | RAM (GB) | Available Disk (GB) | Network (MBS) |
Taskmaster Server/File Server | Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7500 (2.20GHz) | 3 | 100 (Fast) | 100 |
Taskmaster Web Server | Intel® Core™2 Duo E6850 | 4 | 80 | 100 |
Rulerunner Service | Intel® Core™2 Duo E6850 | 2 | 80 | 100 |
Rulerunner Enterprise Service | Intel® Core i7 879 2.93GHz | 4* | 80 | 100 |
Scan Station | Pentium Dual Core E2160 | 1 | 10 | 100 |
Verification Station | Pentium Dual Core E2160 | 1 | 10 | 100 |
* 4 GBytes maximum for 32-bit O/S, 6 GBytes for 64-bit O/S.
Additional comments
- The Rulerunner station provides all unattended processing, including document identification, recognition, image procesing, and export of data.
- Taskmaster Web Verification stations require Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.
- Network is assumed to be Ethernet with TCP/IP running Microsoft file servers.
Hardware considerations
- A file server is required to store the images and intermediate processing files.
- The Taskmaster Server can be the same computer as the file server.
- Additional hard disk storage is required for images.
- Storage space needed depends on the image size and volume.
- The Taskmaster Web Server can run on the same computer as Taskmaster Server in a secure configuration (Intranet, VPN, and so on).

- Taskmaster does not require a dedicated database server or instance; a departmental or enterprise database server can be used.
- IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture ships with Microsoft Jet databases for the sample application and the Datacap Studio Application Wizard in "Create new application" mode. You can view and modify these databases by using Microsoft Access.
- Database support includes the Taskmaster Fingerprint database.
These databases are supported:
| Database | Operating system: | |||
AIX | Linux | Solaris | Win | |
| Microsoft Access 2007 | Yes | |||
| Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Edition 2008 | | Yes | ||

| Note: Support for Oracle databases does not include support for the Oracle Exadata platform. | ||||
Export databases
- Support is provided to the OBDC level.
- If the required ODBC drivers are installed, customers can immediately use the ExportDB actions library to export data to a database.
- In addition, the Export actions library exports captured data to a text file, and the ExportXML actions library exports data to an XML file.
- Customers can use the Lookup actions library to validate data. Some Lookup actions are tied to fields in the Verify interface.
