Upgrade from Kofax Import Connector 2.2.0 or earlier

Kofax Import Connector 2.3.0 changed the behavior of XML mapping and XML rendering. As a consequence, when upgrading from Kofax Import Connector 2.0.0 - 2.2.0 to version 2.3.0 or later, additional upgrade steps are necessary, if you are using any of the following features:

  • Simple XML mapping

  • Generic XML mapping

  • XML rendering

No additional steps are necessary if you are using XML Import Connector compatible mappings.

You can upgrade to the latest version of Kofax Import Connector and continue using mappings in compatibility mode. However, as soon as you change your destination configuration, you need to perform additional upgrade steps.

Do one of the following when upgrading to the latest Kofax Import Connector:

Use Kofax support

  1. Before upgrading from Kofax Import Connector 2.0.0 - 2.2.0 to 2.3.0 or later, copy the content from the following folder to a temporary folder:

    C:\ProgramData\Kofax\KIC-ED\KCPlugIn\config\Schemas

  2. Send all files from the temporary folder, along with a list of destinations that use XML mapping/rendering to Kofax Support.

    Kofax Support updates the configuration files and returns them to you.

  3. Stop the KC Plug-In service.
  4. Copy the updated files back to the following folder:

    C:\ProgramData\Kofax\KIC-ED\KCPlugIn\config\Schemas

  5. Upgrade to the latest version of Kofax Import Connector.

Reconfigure XML mapping and rendering

  1. Stop the KC Plug-In service before making changes to the affected destinations.
  2. Back up the XML mapping/rendering configuration files available at:

    C:\ProgramData\Kofax\KIC-ED\KCPlugIn\config\Schemas

  3. Edit the destination configuration and click Show files for Visual Designer.

    A warning is displayed that XML mapping/rendering would stop working.

  4. Click OK to proceed and save the configuration.

    Kofax Import Connector generates new files necessary for XML mapping/rendering. As a consequence, XML mapping and/or rendering stops working.

  5. Use MapForce and/or StyleVision, or any similar to reconfigure mapping/rendering. See KC Plug-In Help.
