Barcodes on 9i

Hi,
My apologies if this has been covered before.
I'm currently upgrading some reports from 6i to 9i. On the report is a barcode font (4State) and Micr font. The fonts have been installed on the printer, and everything is working on 6i.
The report is being developed on windows, and run on a Unix server
We're trying to run the report as postscript or PDF on 9i, and the fonts aren't being recognized. I've accessed an article on Metalink (207711.1) which states that the ttf file needs to exist in the report_path variable, and that the uifont.ali file needs to be amended in both the [global] section and the [subset] section.
Just so I'm clear, the ttf file is to reside on the client? or on the server? I was under the impression that ttf files are windows only, yet the example specified on the metalink article shows a unix path. If it is unix, where can I see where the reports_path variable is defined?
I have amended the uifont.ali file as per the metalink article, but haven't made it 'live' yet, because I want to understand this fully before I start messing about.
Has anyone had any experience going down this path? Believe me, any help is greatly appreciated.

Barcode C128 is not getting displayed in Sapscript

HI,
I need to print the barcode in the Sapscript.
The barcode is not getting displayed even in the preview also, when I give the Barcode C128.
But when I give other Barcodes, it is getting displayed in the preview.
Can anyone let me know the solution to print the barcode for C128, as others are not that much fit to print.
Thanks
Rakesh

Hi Dieter,
No. I haven't.
Is this the reason for that?
let me know the procedure.

Hello,
The first step if to find the PL/SQL line causing the error in 'cf_1formula':
create a procedure Trace in your Reports : (modify the line trace_file := Text_IO.Fopen('d:\temp\rep_trace.txt', 'A'); to adapt the filename to your system)
PROCEDURE Trace (trace_string in varchar2) IS
trace_file Text_IO.File_Type;
BEGIN
trace_file := Text_IO.Fopen('d:\temp\rep_trace.txt', 'A');
Text_IO.Put_Line(trace_file, trace_string);
Text_IO.Fclose (trace_file);
END;
Then, add some calls to this procedure in the program unit 'cf_1formula'
trace('Before line 1';
<PL/SQL code of line 1>
trace('Before line 2';
<PL/SQL code of line 2>
trace('Before line 3';
<PL/SQL code of line 3>
Excecute the Reports and find in the file 'd:\temp\rep_trace.txt' the last line executed.

Error while Adding a Delivery Note with Barcode

When i add the deliverynote , i get the following error :
Error Code : -10 : Document can not be added: Base line item has been updated, re-transmitting the document data from the base document .
or
Access violation error
This happens only when i assign a barcode to the item in the Item Master Data ( Eg : ITM001 is assigned a barcode ) .This works fine when the barcode is not assigned to the item .
What is the cause of this error ?
Obj := IDocuments(Company.GetBusinessObject(oDeliveryNotes));
Obj.CardCode         := 'B1010';
Obj.Lines.Add;
Obj.Lines.BaseType   := bodt_Order;

Hello,
I had the same problem. This occurs. when you change the barcode between sales order and delivery note, and YOu are issuing the Delivery note by DI API.
To do:
- Open Sales Order
- OverWrite in the lines the barcode to the same as Material Master Data
- Update sales order
Issue delivery note.

Confusion with the use of PDF417 Barcodes

I am trying to get clarification on what is required to utilize the Acrobat Designer to create a form that creates a PDF417 barcode. Here is the scenario:
We would like to create a form with Designer (bundled with Acrobat 7.0 Professional)that will be used as an index sheet for a document scanning system.
The form would contain one or more fields that a user would complete using the standard Acrobat 7.0 Reader that they can download from Adobe. When the user completes the data entry into the fields, they will print out the form (containing the 2D barcode (PDF417).
The form would be scanned and put through recognition software that is supposed to ready PDF417 2D barcodes.
I have read through the literature and have seen inconsistent representations regarding the ability of a user to use the Acrobat reader to complete the form and print it with the PDF417 barcode.
In one of the forum postings a user was told that they needed certain decoder software from Adobe or extensions.
I am not clear if the user filling out a form using Acrobat 7.0 reader, which generates the PDF417 barcode supposedly, can be read by an application which supports that barcode type. Or, if this is a special type of PDF417 barcode that has some additional attributes that requires special software from Adobe to be recognized.
Please explain how I accomplish the objective set forth above.

Mike,
It looks like I scanned over your email a little too quickly and missed a
VERY important point. You mention that your form will be "bundled with Acrobat 7.0 Professional". This is VERY important.
In fact, you will need to license nothing else from Adobe. You DO NOT need Reader Extensions because you are deploying Acrobat Professional on the work stations that will be filling in your forms. You do not need to "turn on" hidden functionality of the Free Reader if you are using Acrobat Pro. You already have all the functionality you need.
Second, when you fill in a Barcoded Form with Acrobat Professional the PDF417 Barcode that is rendered in your form will be a 100% standard PDF417 Barcode. But do not turn on compression. When filled in - in Acrobat - the Barcode is rendered so that it can be read by ANY Decoder that can read PDF417. However, if you enable compression you will need to use the Adobe Decoder. If you start decoding and see you are getting lower than a 99.9% decode rate, take a look at buying the Adobe Decoder. Not the whole "Barcoded Forms" license, just the Decoder.
Again,
if you are using Acrobat to fill in these forms, you have nothing else to buy. If you want to deploy these forms with the Free Reader then you will need to license Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms and possibly ARES.

Barcode is not getting printed in the SmartForm

Hi All,
I am trying to print BARCODE in a SMARTFORM but it is not getting printed.
I have created a barcode ZTest_Barcode from the transaction SE73. Then I have created a Character Format C1 with this barcode ZTest_Barcode.
In the SmartForm I have applied this character format like this <C1>&WA_VBAK-VBELN&</C1>.
But in the preview of this SmartForm barcode is not getting printed while this field is printing like <C1>220<C1>.
I have also tried with some SAP barcodes like BC_CD39, C128A_01, etc. But the result is same.
Please help me to resolve this issue.

hi,
There're differents solutions for the creation and print BARCODEs . All of them have the same problem : When you create a spool from a form/smartform with Barcodes, it's not possible to convert the spool to a PDF file because the BARCODE is created at the time of printing.
just try printing one copy and see.

Hello,
have created some new users and done with the leave request, it comes to backend inbox, but not
visible in portal. Re-configured UWL, but still the task not coming( leave request). For other users it is > coming?
Where have you created these users? Many times it is not enough to create new users in a backend system. You will have to create them in the data source which is used by the UME of your portal or to map this data source with the system where you have created your new users
You can see what data source your portal is using by going to
Portal --> System Administration --> System Configuration --> UME Configuration --> Data Source
If this Data Source doesn´t contain your new users, then UWL wouldn´t be able to show their items.
Here you can check if your user is contained in the data source:
Portal --> User Administration --> choose the right data source --> put in the username --> search
Please check if your users are correctly created.

Trying to combine multi PDF docs into one, but losing a barcode overlay at the bottom of the page.

Hello,
I'm attempting to put approximately 100 PDF documents (various page lengths) together to create one, however when I use the typical method, File>Create PDF>Multiple Files then combine them I lose the barcode at the bottom of the page. I believe the barcode is seen by Adobe as an overlay, but I could be mistaken. I'm not sure if there is some options I could be changing to make this work. My other alternative is to use the insert...but this would be very time consuming. I'm looking to have more of these in the future so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi,
Trying to check this issue. Please let us know the version of Acrobat that this Combine behavior is seen in.

Previewing BarCode In PDF Format Using Microsoft Word

Hello,
I'm having trouble using word to preview bar code font in pdf using XML Publisher.
The bar code shows prefectly well in html and in excel, but it does not show in PDF.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance
Message was edited by:
Blisss

Hi Blisss
Its showing in HTML and Word becasue you have the barcode in your windows/fonts directory so when the doc is generated the font can be accessed. In the case of PDF the barcode needs to be embedded into the output. You need to treat the XMLP engine running on your desktop as a server ie the font needs to be available to the engine at runtime. So, you need to update the xdo.cfg file to point to the font in the fonts directory ... check the user guide for some more help.

Printing to Citizen Thermal Barcode printer

Hello everyone,
I need some direction as to where to go next on this issue.
I am trying to take text data that contains commands with data and ascii control codes for a Citizen Barcode printer and allow my client (a web browser) the ability to print this data to its local printer and generate labels (not the raw data)
I have been able to code a servlet that can prints my barcodes to the local printers on my PC, but I cannot access a client's collection of printers from the web server.
It seems I need to render the data and do a window.print() in Javascript: Here is my servlet code that works when the printer is local to the web server.
        try {
          PrintService psCitizen = null;
          String sPrinterName = null;
          PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
          for (int i = 0; i < services.length; i++) {
            sPrinterName = services.getName().toUpperCase();
log(Trace.DIAGNOSTIC, "Printer " + i + ":" + sPrinterName);
if (sPrinterName.toUpperCase().indexOf("CITIZEN") >= 0) {
psCitizen = services[i];
break;
if (psCitizen == null) {
log(Trace.DIAGNOSTIC, "Citizen printer is not found. Ps Count = " + services.length);

How can I using a servlet, JSP or Javascript get the user to print the label data from the client browser and have the thermal printer interpret the browser data as commands to print. I don't mind the browser user having to select the printer.
Thanks!

I don't think that you'll be able to do this correctly with JavaScript, as those control codes probably won't be rendered correctly in the web browser. I'm guessing you'll need a signed applet to properly receive the exact commands to send to the printer. You can use the Jakarta HttpClient to receive the exact commands from the Servlet, then some kind of print API to send the commands to the printer.

Memoryze barcode for vendor invoices

Hi all
We want to save, after have posted a vendor invoice with barcode, the link between the document and the barcode. Now the link is present in the BDS_BAR_IN table but when the corresponding record in BDS_BAR_EX appear, both the two are deleted.
I saw that for the 46c SAP suggest (note 564547) to use a workflow raised by the event barcode.assigned. For the ecc6.00 exist a different modality (without development work) or I must use the same modality suggested for the 46c?
Thanks
Davide

HI David,
I was able to assign barcode to BDS_BAR_IN table and also be able to assign barcode externally with the function module
BAPI_BARCODE_SENDLIST, It created the barcode entry in BDS_BAR_EX table.
Though the same barcode exist in both BDS_BAR_IN & BDS_BAR_EX tables, they are not getting matched and disappearing for some reason in OAM1.
Any idea what might be cauing this issue?
Thanks

ADF Faces - Which type of barcode scanner is recommended for ADF JSP?

Hello everybody:
1.- I'm trying to implement and adf faces app, with the functionality to get some
data from a barcode reader.
2.- I was reading about the different types of reader's interfaces: keyboard wedge,
RS232, USB, bluetooth, etc.
--- QUESTION' SECTION ---
3.- First, the best thing is that my app could be compatible with all interfaces, I
don't know if this is possible without any changes to the code.
4.- If the previous point is not possible, I know that at least my app has to be
compatible with the KB wedge and RS232, because I have read that the USB
just emulate these two interfaces, but in an USB port.
5.- I haven't read to much about this, but I need that my app do a post imediately
after read the barcode, so the best thing my mind could imagine is add an
<enter> char from the reader, I read too that this is only possible with the
RS232, is the only way to modify the output of the scanner before send it to
the app, and with the KB wedge is not possible.
6.- But, the KB wedge is easier to use because my app does not require any extra-
code to handle it, the only thing is: the cursor must be in the correct place in
the correct time.
I have read in this forum that some people has already implement this, if some of
you guys have any suggestion, please let me know.
Thnks in advance.
Alex.

Hi,
thre is no specific certification between barcode readers and ADF Faces. So if you need a barcode reader, it s up to you testing which one can interact with the browser to fill in the form fields (and this basically is all it does)

Issues with AR Invoice form after sending barcode and tab data to PC

Hi,
We have a barcode system to scan ItemCodes and send 5 x tabs 'keypresses' to the checkout users PC.
This basically populates all the required fields on the AR Invoice row and jumps down to the next row ready for the next barcode.
We have recently upgrading to 8.8, and we have developed an annoying issue. Intermittently, the PCs not behaving as expected. Here are some of the bad results we have experienced:
1. The barcode scan is done, but the tabs being sent to the PC are not registered.. The PC just sits there with the cursor at the end of the (populated) ItemCode box without recognising that tabs have been sent
2. The barcode scan is done and the ItemCode box is populated as expected. However SAP has not processed all the expected tabs and the cursor remains one of the next few fields awaiting user input.
3. As above the barcode scan is done and the ItemCode box is populated as expected. However SAP has not processed all the expected tabs. Also, the cursor is not present within the current 'selected' field - it seems to have almost lost focus from the fields on the form. Note: the SAP window remains the active Window.
All of this means that the processing of Invoices is being delayed as tabs are not being processing and form focus is being lost.
The form settings are correct as they are unchanged from being working to suddenly stopping working. The issue is occasionally resolved by a reboot of the client PC in question.
Is this a known issue in 8.8? If not, is this most likely to be caused by display issues or SAP 8.8 not being able to handle the receipt of tab commands in such quick sucession?
Any pointers or comments from your experience would be appreciated.
Regards
OB

Which patch level are you using as this should be fixxed. I would also look if there are any conflicts with the add-ons as there some major changes in the SDK.
