Introduction

This Service Pack applies to the Ascent Advanced Forms V3.8 SR01 Validation module.

New Features

Service Pack 3 for the Ascent Advanced Forms - Validation module SR01 provides the following new features.

• Documentation has been updated to support the new service pack features.

Resolved Problems

Service Pack 3 for the Ascent Advanced Forms - Validation module SR01 resolves the following problems.

• On Windows XP operating systems, options in the Logging Settings dialog box no longer appear with a black background that makes them illegible.
• Since version 3.8 SR01, Ascent Advanced Forms stored large amounts of recognition data within the Ascent Capture database. This resulted in high load times for batches in Ascent Advanced Forms and performance issues in Ascent Capture Internet Server (ACIS) with large files. Now recognition data is stored outside the Ascent Capture database in separate files: in x_sceData.xml if Single Click Entry (SCE) data exists and in x_ocrDetails.xml if at least one field contains OCR details, where x is the image number. (SPR 27292, SPR 27294, SPR 27641)
• If an automatic Validation station is configured as a Windows service on a Windows 2003 server, the service now starts automatically at system startup.
• If you open a batch using the toolbar button, the Open Batch dialog box in Ascent Advanced Forms Validation now remains open.
• If "Value Details" is specified for an empty field, the error "Method '~' of object '~' failed" no longer occurs when the document is saved. (SPR 28635)
• Inserting Stop statements for debug mode and then pressing Shift+F8 or F8 in the Validation Visual Basic Editor now functions correctly. (SPR 27458)
• Ascent Advanced Forms Validation now presents data with respect to user profiles (for example, the Open Batch dialog box now shows batch classes with respect to the current user's profile). (SPR 29680)
• Turkish keyboard characters no longer cause a runtime error 5, "Invalid procedure call or invalid argument."
• The memory leak when using Single Click Entry (SCE) is now resolved. (SPR 29187)
• If a workplace comprises two monitors, the ToolTip is now displayed on one monitor and the image on the other one.
• If you are using a .Net add-in, the OnPreExporting and OnPostExported events are now run.
• If the state of a table row is changed from "uncertain" to "OK" in an OnPostImported event, the row is now visible in Ascent Advanced Forms Validation.
• If an operating system language is neither English nor German, installation is now in the English language instead of German. (SPR 28299)
• The memory leak that occurred when successive batches were processed through Validation (Validation remains open) is now resolved. (SPR 26988)
• The Open Documents Window no longer remains open during processing. (SPR 29972)

Installing the Service Pack

Service Packs for Ascent Advanced Forms Validation module are available from the Kofax Web site at www.kofax.com. Go to the Support | Downloads Library area and locate the Ascent Advanced Forms Validation 3.8 link.

Note that there are two Service Packs: Service Pack 3 for the Extraction module and Service Pack 3 for the Validation module. If you use both modules and want to install the Service Packs, you must download the Service Packs and run their separate installations.

In addition, Ascent Advanced Forms Validation 3.8 must be installed before you install the Service Packs. If you attempt to install the Service Packs without the required version of Ascent Advanced Forms, the Service Pack installation will not complete successfully.

Note Backups of validated data generated prior to Service Pack 2 cannot be imported after installing Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3. If you have not yet installed Service Pack 2, be sure to load and complete all existing backups before doing so. Then install this Service Pack.

To install the Service Pack, double-click the program InstallServicePack.exe and click Install Service Pack. The logged-in user must have full administrative privileges to the local computer.
