Kofax.BatchCreate: Are batches created synchronously or Asynchronously?

Question

When using the Kofax Capture Document Access API are batches created immediately, or does one have to check back later to see if the batch was successfully created (I can't find anything either way in the documentation)

I ask because the Web Service API documentation says you send a "Create Batch" request with the details of the batch, then later you need to check to see if the batch was successfully created.

This mirrors the Batch XML workflow where a folder is polled for files, and you later check back to see if the file was correctly processed.

So the question is, when using the .Net/COM API is the batch created synchronously, or will I also have to check later for batch success?

Some background: We currently have solutions that use Batch XML files and are investigating other options, I don't have access to an Ascent server at the moment, we're waiting on eval licences etc, otherwise I'd try it myself

Answer 1

The batch is created synchronously when you use the .Net/COM API. In my previous job, I used that API a LOT.

Answer 2

Creating Batches with the webservice is diffrent and through the .net API is differenet. Prefer the .net one only for the synchronously creating
