Import Connector enhancements
This topic describes the enhancements to the Import Connector.
Import files from the cloud
TotalAgility supports file import from cloud locations, such as Azure File Share and Azure Blob. See Cloud file in the Kofax TotalAgility Designer Help.
Message Connector service account
During the installation, Message Connector uses the same service account provided for the TotalAgility installation.
Extract embedded document
File extraction in the document conversion profile supports the extraction of embedded documents. For example, if you process an Excel file containing a Word document embedded in it, TotalAgility extracts the embedded Word document and processes both Excel file and Word document.
Enhanced error messages
Earlier, if document conversion failed, only an error code was returned. Now, a brief description is returned.
New metadata
The following new metadata items are added:
-
Message response XML: This metadata item is added to the "Notification settings" and "Associated actions" to include information about all metadata available for an email, document, or file in the notification email.
-
KfxMessageRemovedAttachmentList: This metadata item is added to the "Notification settings" to include the list of all the filenames skipped from import. You can use this metadata in the subject field or in the body of a notification email.
-
Message delivery priority: This metadata item is added to IMAP, POP3, MS Graph, and EWS import sources to set the delivery priority.
See "Metadata for all import sources" in Import settings in the TotalAgility Designer Help.
Enhanced poll cycle
The maximum value of an import source poll cycle is updated to 86400 seconds.
Detect empty messages
Message Connector can detect empty messages while importing messages using MS Graph.
Add PDF bookmarks and page numbers to the concatenated PDF
It is possible to check which documents are concatenated from the output. The two new options in KFXConverter settings can be enabled for concatenated PDF:
-
Enable bookmarks: Generates bookmarks for concatenated PDFs.
-
Enable page number: Activates individual numbering for all the documents concatenated.
See "PDFCONCATENATION" in Configure Kofax Converter in the Kofax TotalAgility Designer Help.
Document conversion passwords
Document conversion passwords support more than 350 characters.
Shared Message Connector Pool validation
The status of the shared Message Connector Pool is validated and displayed. The validation of the Shared Message Connector Pool connection is successful if at least one of the active Message Connector connections in the pool is up and running. An error is thrown only if all the Message Connectors in the pool are down. The connection status is displayed using the color codes:
-
Green if the connection is successful.
-
Red if the connection is down.
Option to leave messages unread
The new Leave messages unread option added to the MS Graph mailbox settings lets the user select whether the message should be in read or unread status. For example, if the user wants the email to be marked as read so that if an alert is set to send read message notification, the notification will be sent once the message is processed.
Extract the email body with the header
The Body with message header option is added in the Document conversion profile to convert emails with or without the message header. See "General settings" in Add document conversion profiles in the Kofax TotalAgility Designer Help.
Support for new MS Office formats
The MS OneNote, MS Project ,and MS Visio files can be converted to PDF and TIFF.
Uuencode encoding
Attachments with Uuencode encoding are supported.
Document conversion supports Code-39-25 font
Document conversion supports PDF conversion using the Code-39-25 font.
