Product Documentation
Abstract
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.

Taskmaster Admin and Engine Database support
- Support is provided to the OLEDB level.
- IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture is independent of the platform where the database server is installed (for example, Oracle 11 on Linux). Datacap Taskmaster supports a database to the extent that there is an OLEDB client for the platform.
- In a production environment, the two primary Taskmaster databases (Admin and Engine) can reside in either Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle.
- SQL Server Express and other versions of SQL Server and Oracle are generally compatible with Taskmaster 8.0.1.
- 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.
Database | Operating system: | |||
AIX | Linux | Solaris | Win | |
Microsoft Access 2007 | ||||
Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Edition 2008 | ||||
Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Edition 2008 R2 | ||||
Oracle Database 11g Standard Edition Release 2 | ||||
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 1 |
Export databases
- Support is provided to the ODBC 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.
