A customer has more than 500 document types that are to be processed by IBM datacap. Some of these documents will have 100+ fields.

Will the developer have to split this into multiple applications and why?

A. Yes, because there is a system limit on the number of fields available across the Document hierarchy.

B. No, because of Datacap’s multi leveled hierarchy the number of document can be split across the levels

C. No, because Datacap Document hierarchy will support an unlimited number of documents, pages and fields.
D. Yes, because there is a system limit on the number of document types available in the Document hierarchy.

Explanation:
Datacap rules operate on batches, documents, pages, and fields. In Datacap, this structure is called the Document Hierarchy (DCO). The DCO is a core element of the design of the capture system. In addition to defining structure, the DCO provides the information that the system needs to assemble documents. It also enforces the integrity of the batches, documents, pages, and fields by using the information in the DCO. An application can have many DCOs to accommodate applications that require different classes of document structures.
