Common issues are caused by the following:

  • The workstation is not licensed for XML Index DIP.

  • User does not have network rights to access the XML Import Index File.

  • User does not have rights to the Destination Disk Group location.

  • Check field order configuration and XML Index DIP Import Index File (Make sure # of fields in the configuration and in the XML Index DIP Import Index File are matched).

  • Make sure to format Currency and Date Keyword Values, if they are used.

  • The files to be imported or the XML Index DIP Import Index File does not exist in the specified directory.

  • The Workstation is not properly licensed for OCR when you attempt to use the OCR on Commit option.

The following table explains some common issues:

Issue

Description

Unable to make file Read Only - error 74

The machine the user logged on to does not have sufficient network rights to change the XML Import Index File attributes.

Cannot view the documents that have been imported, although the user has rights to the document type and the disk group location.

Confirm that you have rights to renditions in the Document Type.

XML Index DIP process is bringing in blank images.

Check the Verification Report. If it states Could not open file…, copy the file path/full path from the XML Import Index File and browse to that location to verify that the files are present.

It appears as if not all documents identified in the XML Import Index file have been imported. The Verification Report indicates that all items have been imported.

Check the Document Import Configuration Process Settings. If the Append Additional Pages to Existing Document option is selected, the XML Index DIP appends documents to existing documents by matching Keyword Values of the imported document to those of an existing document. This functionality applies only to image files.

XML Index DIP shows an extra “0” in the Auto-Name string

Check to see if numeric values contained in the XML Import Index File are formatted in accordance with the corresponding Keyword Type. For example, if the Keyword Type Check Amount contains decimal places and the check value being imported does not contain decimal points, an extra 0 may appear in the Auto-Name string.

XML Index DIP batch remains in XML Index DIP- Awaiting Commit queue rather than moving to Scan - Awaiting Commit queue even though configured to do so.

Select box Send On Error in the XML Index DIP Processing Paths dialog box. Selecting this box will enable the batch to proceed to the Scan queue for further indexing even if a required Keyword Type is missing in the XML Index DIP batch.

Correctly-processed XML Import Index Files are being placed in the ERROR_FILES folder

If multiple XML Import Index Files are processed into a single batch and successfully-processed XML Import Index Files are configured to not be deleted, XML Import Index Files that have been correctly processed may be moved to the ERROR_FILES folder if one or more XML Import Index Files that compose the batch are not processed correctly.

XML Index DIP cannot distinguish between the XML Import Index Files in the batch that had errors and those that processed correctly. All XML Import Index Files in the process folder, including those that were processed correctly, are moved to the Error Files folder.

Tip:

To prevent correctly-processed XML Import Index Files from ending up in the Error Files folder, configure each XML Import Index File to be processed as an individual batch. You could also allow the XML Index Import Files to be deleted after processing (the default behavior), but configure the XML Index Import File to be backed up during the configuration for the XML Index DIP process. All correctly-imported XML Import Index Files will be deleted after processing, the incorrectly-processed XML Import Index Files will be moved to the Error Files folder, and all processed XML Import Index Files are backed up to the configured location.

After importing multi-page TIFF images, only the first page of each document is displayed if the Document Type of the documents have a Default File Format of something other than Image File Format.

Images files are treated slightly differently than other file formats in an XML Index DIP process because the process attempts to open image files to determine the number of pages (i.e. individual images) included in each file.

In this scenario, the XML Index DIP process is not expecting to find a single file consisting of multiple pages (i.e. images), so only the first image in the file is displayed.

To prevent this issue from occurring, include the >>File Type Default Keyword Type in the XML Import Index File to force the XML Index DIP process to recognize the file being imported as an image and open it to determine the number of pages (i.e. images) it contains. In this case, the >>File Type Default Keyword Type should be specified as 2 for Image File Format.

Tip:

It is considered a best practice to always include the >>File Type Default Keyword Type in the XML Import Index File if you are importing files of a different file format than the Document Type's Default File Format.

For more information on Document Type Default File Format considerations, see Document Type Default File Format Considerations.

The process fails even though it appears to be configured correctly.

Ensure that if you are using the >>File Path Default Keyword Type, you are supplying an Absolute Path for its value. If a full path is supplied, the process will fail to run.

The >>File Path Default Keyword Type must be used with the >>File Name Default Keyword Type.

While a scheduled XML Index DIP process is running, new import files are removed from the processing directory before they are imported.

Enable the Files idle for at least 1 minute option in Schedule Management. This allows newly created XML Import Index Files to be copied to the directory while the process is running and still have those files successfully imported into the system.

The following error occurs when running a process: One or more files were not able to backup successfully. All files have been left in their current directory and no processing was performed.

This error occurs when the Backup Path option is enabled and the processing workstation is unable to access the configured Backup Path. This can happen if the processing workstation is unable to access the configured file path, or if the Backup Path field was left blank during configuration. Ensure that a Backup Path has been configured within OnBase Configuration, and make sure that the processing workstation is able to access the configured path.
