In FC, documents are processed within projects. FC will identify the type of each document and apply the appropriate Document Definition that has been prepared specifically for that type. Each Document Definition includes one or more export profiles to be used for exporting document images and data. If you are not familiar with the aforementioned concepts, please refer to the ABBYY FlexiCapture documentation, where you will find a detailed description of the capture process. To set up the export of data from FC, you will need to create a new script export profile in your FC project. Before you start configuring your project, please make sure that you have the following software installed:
  • ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Project Setup Station (required if you are using ABBYY FlexiCapture Distributed Edition or ABBYY FlexiCapture Cloud).
If you already have an FC project for which you need to set up data export to Blue Prism, open that project. Otherwise, you will need to create a project. You can also upload to the server the preconfigured project that ships with the distribution package. You can find this project in ABBYY FlexiCapture Connector for BluePrism\Multi-Task Package\FlexiCapture Sample Projects. Launch the Project Setup Station and in the Open Project dialog box click:
  • Create New… to create a new project.
  • Browse… to open an existing project stored on your local drive.
  • Browse from Server… to a open a project that you earlier uploaded to the FC Application Server.
Next, you need to upload the project on to the ABBYY FlexiCapture Application Server:
  1. Click File → Upload Project to Server….
  2. In the Upload Project to Application Server dialog box specify the address of the server, the protocol to be used, and your credentials.
  3. If you are using ABBYY FlexiCapture Cloud, complete the URL field, specifying one of the following three FlexiCapture Cloud instances (you should specify the instance that your company is registered in):
  4. In the Tenant name field specify the name of your company, select the Use server authentication option, and enter your credentials.
  5. Click Test Connection to check that you have entered the correct data.
  6. Click OK to upload project to Application Server.
When uploading a project to the cloud or when opening a project from the cloud, the following error may occur: “Application server version is not compatible.” If you see this error, the version of your Project Setup Station does not match the version of the cloud-based Application Server. To obtain a compatible version of FC, please contact the ABBYY sales office servicing your region (see https://www.abbyy.com/contacts).
  1. When you see the “Operation completed” message, click Close. In the next dialog box, click Yes to open the uploaded project from the server.
Now you need to configure your project, i.e. to create an export profile in your Document Definition and to select the appropriate type of workflow.
