Continuous Capture Troubleshooting

This section discusses troubleshooting for the continuous capture feature.

Links result in unexpected feature extraction

If you click a continuous capture link, and an entire page is returned, rather than the expected section you extracted, or another unexpected feature extraction is performed, it may indicate a poor URL match expression.

When you click a link, it is checked against the URLs defined for the application, and, if a match is found, the appropriate content capture language (CCL) is used to extract the feature from the page. If the URL match expression is not generic enough, or is constructed incorrectly, the expression may not find the URL being clicked and the required CCL expression. Or the match expression may find another, unintended CCL expression.

Verify the URL-CCL expression.

Cannot generalize some URL patterns

There is a known limitation with continuous capture, whereby attempts to generate a template URL from two URLs with different paths, fails. For example, you might have captured two URLs similar to:

http://some.site.com/path/xxx/tt012345/

http://some.site.com/path/xxx/tt006654/

Ideally, a template URL similar to this should be generated:

http://some.site.com/path/xxx/tt[^/]*/

Instead the template generator fails when presented with these URLs. For best results, select URLs within the same path.
