Bar code using Oracle+linux?

Hi,
I has been asked to implement a bar code for my company using
linux&oracle..the idea is that by using a bar code scanner , we
can keep the count of our product+ information into the oracle
database.
I really quite new on this topic and i have not too much idea
about it.
I would appreciate any informartion or tips..
thanks a lot..it is quite urgent!!

How to use PDF417 Bar Code in Oracle Reports 6i

How to Use PDF417 Bar Code in Oracle 6i. One of my clients has a requirement that Customer Name and Address to be converted into PDF417.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
PN

You will need to add this font to the system and Reports configuration files.
For adding font to the system, refer to your system specific guidelines for installing new fonts.
After you have installed this font on the system, you should be able to see the font in Reports builder font picker dropdown box. or with unix 'xlsfonts' command
For adding this font to the Reports application.
1. Modify the printer definition file ( you can get this info from uiprint.txt file for the .ppd or .hpd file used )
if the printer defination file is .ppd then look for "*Font Information" section and add the new font name there
like *Font <new_font_name> Standard '(00.1001)" Standard ROM
If hpd add the new font tfm file as
FONT= new_font_name
/tfm=new_font_tfm file.tfm
2. Copy the AFM or TFM ( these are fonts metrics files, which font vendor will provide ) into the relevant directory so the the Reports application should pick them up.
3. If necessary, make changes in the alias file (uifont.ali ) for mapping to this font. If the layout objects in your report are associated with the same font name as the new font then mapping is not required. But if the fonts for the layout objects are different then you need to map the original fonts to the new ones. Make sure that the mapping rules should be defined in the right section depending on the printer type being used.

Printing tab in Bar Code using SAPScript

Hi,
We are trying to print information from multiple fields in Bar code (using Code128 symbology) on our Utility Invoices, printing of which is done using SAPScript.
Our objective is that when accepting payment using FPCJ transaction, the Cash Desk Operator will use a Bar Code Scanner and import relevant invoice data into multiple fields.
However, for that to happen, it is necesary to print tab feeds between data of contiguous fields using Bar code.
We have tried printing tab feeds in Bar Code using hexadecimal '09'. But it has not helped. Can anybody suggest how one can print tab feeds in Bar Code using SAPScript?
Thanks in advance,
Arijit Mitra

Hi
See the doc related to BARCODE printing and do accordingly
To Create a Bar code prefix:
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
The place where you are using the field value use like this
<C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.
http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
It will give an idea about barcode commands.

Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.

Use Oracle Linux packages to fix GHOST: glibc vulnerability on RHEL4

Dear All,
It is the first time I use the discussion function. Hope someone from Oracle supprot team can help me.
P.S. I have Oracle support CSI for DB but I don't find whhich category I should submit my question.
Here is the our case.
Our user is still running RHEL 4.8(9) on some servers. For some reason, they don't want to upgrade them at the moment. As you know, GHOST: glibc vulnerability has been announced recently. For RHEL4, they have to purchase ELS subscription to download the packages even though they have the license. Our user doesn't want to pay for that. Meanwhile, we find Oracle Linux provides a package to fix the problem. We told them this finding and they would like to use Oracle Linux patch.
But to better explain the situation to them, we want confirm with Oracle about several points.
1. The patch can be downloaded and used for free but there is no support from Oracle,right?
2. Is it possbile to have the support from Oracle in such case - The OS is RHEL4.8(9) and some patches are provided by Oracle?
My understanding is that there is no supprot. Please help to confirm.
Thanks and regards,
Alpha

Please note that this is a user forum. You may find responses from Oracle here, but not necessarily.
To assume that Oracle would provide support for RHEL, just because you install a OL package, is a pretty wild assumption. I'm not aware that any vendor would provide support for another vendor. Nevertheless, OL and RHEL are 100 % user space and binary compatible, and so are the packages, unless you install anything that requires the Oracle UEK kernel or any other vendor specific product that is not GPL.
If you want to stay with Red Hat you will have to pay for support to Red Hat, or convert your system to Oracle Linux and you can install and download patches and errata for free. See Switching from Red Hat Network to Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) . OL provides patches and errata for free through Oracle Public YUM. If you need support for Oracle Linux from Oracle technical support, you will also need to buy a subscription to ULN.

Incorporate Bar Code in Oracle Reports

Hi,
I want to incorporate Bar code font in character based oracle reports.Kindly let me know how to go about implementing it.Secondly is there any site from where i can download the bar code fonts freely.Also does Oracle provide Barcode fonts for Oracle Reports.
Thanks in advance
Deepak

hello,
from your question i understand that you want to create a barcode in a character mode report. this will be very difficult as it requires the destination printer to be able to print barcodes. a barcode font will not help here, as charactermode reports do not leverage fonts other than ones available in the printer.
usually it is more to creating a barcode than just printing the value in barcode font. most barcodes need special algorithms to create chechsums and similar stuff.
you might want to look into our barcode example that shows you how to use a java bean to generate a barcode.
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/BarcodeBeanPaper/index.html
oracle does neither ship barcodefonts nor java beans to generate barcodes for production purposes. the supplied sampels are for demo purposes only. however there are several commercially available fonts as well as javabeans on the market.

Thinking to use Oracle Linux

Hello friends,
I am used to work on MS Windows. Without a doubt we get a better performance if we use DB and OS from Oracle.
What are basics of Oracle Linux I have to know to be able to install Oracle DB 11g SEO on Oracle Linux ???
Is it possible to install it with Oracle DB 11g on Virtual Box in Production environment ??
** My environment is Oracle 11g R2 SEO. APEX 4.1 , Glassfish 3.1.2
Best Regards,
Fateh

Starting from scratch? I'm afraid that's too much to ask and expect from a forum thread. Where do you need to start? Installing Oracle 11g Database Edition One is the same as installing any other oracle Oracle 11g Database edition. You start by reading the documentation, which covers the installation on Linux.
In a nutshell:
- Download the Linux OS installation DVD from Oracle edelivery cloud.
- Boot the system from DVD or use the downloaded iso file in VirtualBox.
- Setup yum.
- Install "oracle-validated (OL5) or "oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall" (OL6).
- Install Oracle Database
Your question about VirtualBox depends on your production environment, but generally no. Oracle provides Oracle VM for x86, which installs on bare metal machines to provide virtualization (type 1) and supports production systems. For evaluation and testing, VB is great and does the job quite well, providing a lot of useful options.

Bar code using Form6i run in c\s using scanner

Dear all
Want to ask if possible to used bar code in form6i run in c\s using scanner as bar code reader..
Do i need to install something to work this bar code?
Any step by step documentation on how to do a bar code?
thanks

A scanner is a hardware device that basically works like a keyboard. When you use a scanner it reads and interprets the bar code and sends the character to the Operating System (OS). Forms does not read characters directly from keyboard or scanner. It reads the characters from the OS. Therefore, Forms doesn't know where the characters came from, and it does not care.
Think of it this way...
When you change out your simple keyboard and replace it with a fancy keyboard, does Forms know or care. No.
Or here is a even simplier way to think about it...
Think of a scanner as being a box that sends characters to the computer. When you open the box and look inside you see a trained monkey who looks at the bar code and types the correct character on the keyboard. (But this trained monkey does not need to be fed.)
The question you should be asking is, not if Forms will work with the scanner, but whether the scanner will work with my OS. Only the scanner manufacturer can answer that. If you want to know how to install scanner or how to operate it, then ask the manufacturer of the scanner.

Bar code in oracle 10g report

I am getting the folowing error mreeage:
Terminated with error: <br>REP-1401: 'cf_1formula': Fatal PL/SQL error occurred. ORA-39565: Message 39565 not found; product=RDBMS; facility=ORA
Here is my configuration detials:
set the classpath in server configuration file to where the oraclebarcode.jar file is located.
set the classpath in the default.env file to point to same jar file.
I included all that are required in the report(before report trigger, formula column,etc)
Does this error have anything to do with the temporary file creation for the barcode image as it is created from the browser (java security issue)?
Please assist.
thanks.

I had the same problem.
I finally fix it now.
using 10g on linux web
When I run the report I have message:
Terminated with error: REP-108: File 'REGIST_NAME_1' not found.
I think it is because the file is create with
srw.create_temporary_filename
But I beleive my 10gAS is not set to read in the folder
Where is this folder where the SRW function create the file ??
How can I use SRW.create_temporary_filename in web.

Bar Code in Oracle reports 2.0

We have a requirement to print a barcode on a pick slip report (generated in Oracle reports 2.0) such as the pick slip number so that it can be scanned. Does any one have ideas on this? We are printing the pick slips on line printers (genicoms).
Thanks in Advance,
Mag

Thanks for the suggestion
I checked their web site and their solutions seem to be work if you have Oracle reports 6.0 or greater. Unfortunaltely we are still in Oracle reprots 2.0, has anyone got some ideas.

All,
I have a few questions about using Oracle Linux 6 and the Oracle Database for our ERP Server. We are using a System that run off of Appache httpd and Tomcat and connects to an Oracle Database. We currently are running as a hardware installed server, with Oracle Linux 5 and 10gR2. We are looking to migrate to a Virtual environment as we run VMWare for all our other Servers and services. I have started the install of a development/test system. I wanted to install Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 x86_64 along with either 10gR2 or 11gR2. I noticed that 10gR2 was not certified on OEL6 hence why the thought of moving to 11gR2. The one issue I have is the ERP system is not a x86_64 system is there any way of running 32 bit apps on a 64bit OEL install? I would need to compile a few small 32bit C code programs so would need 32bit libs to compile against. Any support would be greatly appreciated. I know that OEL has an i386 install but I also know that the x86_64 has more support for Oracle DB.
P.S.
Our ERP System is programmed via a small company that does not certify anything. They have taken the approach if it works it works (not happy with this but it is what it is). So the main issue is I need to get Appache Httpd, Tomcat running along with ability to compile a few small 32bit apps.

x86-64 is an extension of the x86 32-bit CISC instruction set. The 64-bit extension provides support for long mode to address larger virtual and physical address spaces.
You can generally run 32-bit applications on a x86_64 bit CPU and a x86_64 kernel, provided you have the appropriate i386 libraries installed. When you install Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.1 for x86_64, appropriate i386 libraries are a prerequisite.
Since x86 on a x86_64 CPU is still hardware, there will be no performance penalty to run 32-bit application. Btw, you cannot run 64-bit applications using a i386 kernel. The only exception I know is Mac OS X.

Printing barcode using oracle graphics

Hello Folks,
I am trying to create bar codes using reports & graphics. The
report documentation (chapter 06) does have guidance but which
is not clear on the graphics side.
Is some one can elaborate little more on this?
Regards.

Spencer is correct...
but, watch out for the DEVICE you are reading the
bar code with...the wand, bar gun...etc.
what we had to do ( my team )
was to put and "*" before the bar code
and a "*" after the bar code for our gun to read
the code...then is worked...
patrick
from the 3of8.ttf
go to the control panel
find FONTS and click on it
once the program displays all your FONTS
click on the menu FILE and then click on
INSTALL. this will ask you where the 3of9.tff is located
..find the location,
then install.
in your oracle report,
click on the FONT to install 3of9...blah..blah
good luck

OracleAS - NULL ProviderSession after 15 minutes (Using Oracle PDK Portlet)

We have recently deployed an oracle pdk portlet java application (developed in JDeveloper 10.1.2.1) to an OC4J on a server running OracleAS 10g (9.0.4).
We are currently facing issues where our ProviderSession becomes null after 15 minutes.
In our jsp's we implement the following:
PortletRenderRequest pReq = (PortletRenderRequest) request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
ProviderUser pUser = pReq.getUser();
ProviderSession pSession = pUser.getSession(false); In our provider.xml file within our JDeveloper project/portlet we have set the following tag: <session>true</session>. In the provider itself, under the User/Session Information section, we have selected the User option, set the Login Frequency to Once Per Session and checked the box labeled 'Require portal user specific session information'.
In our web.xml file within our JDeveloper project/portlet we have set the following tag: <session-config><session-timeout>35</session-timeout></session-config>
As long as we stay within our portlet we don't seem to lose our ProviderSession, but after 15 minutes, if we try to access the portal page (to switch the language on the page for instance) the ProviderSession is null. This operation always works when we are under this 15 minute limit.
We have tried to change opmn.xml (increasing OC4J start timeout from 900 seconds to 1200 seconds),
modplsql conf (PlsqlIdleSessionCleanupInterval, changed from 15 to 30 minutes) and we have also tried disabling the Global Inactivity Timeout variables, but no luck as of yet.
Any help would be much appreciated !
Thanks
