Project Overview

The goal of the Engrafa Project is to help clients generate structured data from documents, with industry-leading accuracy.  Our base application leverages third-party platforms and crowdsourcing to extract useful information from documents in an automated fashion.  The service helps provide the structured data based on the needs of various clients.

The components to the Engrafa Project related to this challenge are:

1. Integration Manager: Manages integrations of Workflow Manager results with external systems.

2. Middleware Service is a custom integration piece that further translates Integration Manager results for a specific external system.

Challenge Overview

Our main goal for this First2Finish challenge is to resolve a data read issue in our Integration Manager UI.  We appear to be reading values from XML results instead of from the database.  We’d like you to:

1. Find what is causing the issue

2. Fix the issue
