Problem with Ascent Capture Release Script on ACIS

[larrys]

We are running an Ascent Capture Internet Server environment. All batches are released from the server to the back end (currently an IBM CM for iSeries system).
I have the following installed on the server:
Ascent Capture 7.5 - Server
Ascent Capture Internet Server 7.5
MS .NET Framework v.2.0
MS WSE v.3.0
Kofax Release Script for Alfresco v.1.0.1
I have a batch class all setup that I am doing a software import from my desktop for testing purposes.
Everything through the Ascent Capture process looks good until I get to the release. Then I get the following message for every document in the batch: "Release Script returned -1. Your release script may need to be re-installed." I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice and continue to get this message.
Has anybody else encountered this problem?

This error was the result of an incompatibility between an Ascent Capture date type index field and an Alfresco date type aspect. Ascent Capture uses the Windows short date configuration (which in my case is configured as "M/d/yyyy") to format date type data fields, while Alfresco requires the ISO8601 standard of "yyyy-mm-dd".

Hi,

I´ve delete the index field (date) in Ascent Capture but I get the message "Release Script returned -1. Your release script may need to be re-installed" even so. I´ve no Idea what´s going wrong. Is there anywhere a documentation of these script or anyone who have the same Problem?

After you deleted the date field in Ascent Capture, did you also go into the release script configuration of your batch class and "break" the Kofax to Alfresco field mapping before you published your batch class? That may be why you are still getting that message.

Has there been an official "fix" for this issue or explanation of configuration changes required to get Ascent  and Alfresco in sync with each other?

A quick 6 line hack in the release script to convert "10/29/2006 to 2006-10-29T18:00:00.000-06:00" seems to have worked around it for now, but it just feels wrong to me in the international scope of things.

Thanks,
