  • 1.  Datacap Exporting to BAW 20.0.0.1

    Posted Thu April 29, 2021 03:17 PM
    Hi All,

    I have an installation of BAW 20.0.0.1 and would like to demonstrate how a Case can be created by exporting a document from Datacap. I normally install Web Service Enhancements 3.0 and the FileNet .NET Client API. The FileNet Client API does not seem to be available for download from ACCE and I cannot find it documented anywhere which version of the FileNet Client to download from Passport Advantage.

    I downloaded the FileNet CPE 5.5.3 files and installed the .NET Client from there, but when Datacap attempts to log in it fails with:
    CE Connection Error: A network error occurred when processing a Web service request or response recorded in the RRS Log. The batch then aborts.

    Can someone please point me in the right direction?

    Many thanks,

    It is strange you do not see the .NET API for download it should be at



    The Web Services interface is VERY robust and you should be able to use a 5.5.x against any of the same or higher version, provided you do not use any function that is not yet provided in the version of you FileNet.Api.dll.

    The error message is pretty meaningless, isn't it? First thing to know is, you MUST use https and the https certificate MUST be signed by a CA, no self signed certificate.

    I would try a standalone .NET program (of  two dozen lines) to see if I can properly connect from the datacap server to the CPE. If that runs chances are that something is wrong with the way you configured the connection to the CPE.

    Hope that helps,
    Gerold
