Capture data from a barcode reader

Hi,
I would like to know if anyone knows any way of integrate a barcode reader with a web application.
I need to create a web page to confirm the reception of letters, and i use the barcode reader to read the letter number. So the web page need to received the barcode number and make the automatic submit.
Thanks in advanced,
Ricardo

1:
get the comm stuff working first
2:
then work on connection to the web application.
3:
a browser in a client that runs,applets,javascript and displays
html.
the web server does all the real work
you can write your own client that will replace the browser and still
conenct to the web application
4:
i'd say a signed applet would work

Disabling the keyboard to read the data from the Barcode reader

Hi all,
This is one of the problem which is going around the forum since long time with out any solution . By doing the research i found out that the PJC can be used to slove the problem. One of my client wants to stop the usage of the keyboard where ever the data is getting populated using the bar code scanner(so as to eradicate the Frauduant entries) . Currently we are using Forms 6i version. With in a couple of months we want to move on to the Developer Suite 10g. If some one has solved this problem, Pls let me know the solution .

Alok Dubey

Thank you for your reply. The issue here is user needs to enter some of the data using the keyboard. For example, We have supplied the Employee ids to the employees. Here the For the sake of having the stationary, the user will scan the employee id and enters the details like what are the stationary he requires. Now in the place of scanning, employee id can be entered manually now. I want to stop that manual feeding of employee ids. If key board locking is the solution , then please let me how it can be implemented.

Capture data in 1D barcode upon merging XML with XDP?

Hi,
The scenario is:
Forms Server 7.2.2 is being used for merging XML data with an XDP file to render a PDF (displaying a pre-filled form to user).
On the XDP, there is a 1D Barcode and few fields are mapped to this barcode (the barcode is intended to capture form identification information).
Upon merging, the barcode should capture the data of those fields (data is being fetched from a db and fed as XML to Forms server). This is required as the pre-filled form will be printed and then mailed to another location, where the barcode will be read using a decoder to capture form indentification.
Will the 1D barcode captures data from those fields, after merging XML with XDP?
The form is NOT Reader Extended. Is Reader Extending a necessity for enabling 1D barcode to capture data?
Is this also applicable for 2D barcodes?
Thanks a lot for your help! :)

Thank you Hodmi,
I had forgotten to define the Record name parameter in the PDF Output Options.
As the XML structure changed, not upating this parameter was preventing the process from working.
Now it is working just fine. Thank you!

Capturing data from a RS232 device

how do I capture data from an RS232 device to my APEX application. Precisely, I am using a barcode scanner and I need to know how to get the barcode data into an item (say P12_barcode) in my application. I have tried the keyboard wedge and the problem is that I have to set the input focus each time I need to collect the barcode of an item, so I have to switch to RS232 mode but how do I get this barcode data now?
Please HELP...

Thanks a trillion for this reply! wether your reply was helpful is an understatement in this matter!
That is the type of Barcode scanner I am using man... they call it USB Keyboard emulation. It scans into note pad, word processors and text items freely.
In my design for a solution to this problem, I have on paper, your type of solution but I lack the ability to set the focus on the desired Text Field when my cash_sales page loads.
Secondly you said "I did have to set it to include a "Enter" after each scan" that touched upon another bug in me: I had always wanted the form to submit after each scan so that my procedure can use it against the items database and display the item in my Current Transaction Report. How did you set it to include a "Enter" after each scan? Is it on the scanner or at the page item level?
Precisely I am using Metrologic MS9520 barcode scanner a.k.a Honeywell MS9520 barcode scanner!
If I can set a cursor in my Px_Barcode text item after loading my CASH_SALES page and automatically submit the page after a scan(without clicking any button) then my nightmare is over...and you become my Virgo 2009 Hero.
Happy September :)

Capturing data from a website

Hello,
I would like to capture data from websites, or get a snapshot
of a given URL. I was wondering how this would be posible using
Java.
Any help or comments will be greatly appreciated.
Chanie

Thanks, that worked beautifully.
I was wondering if you could help me with one more point.
There are some webpages that before getting to them you must
give a username and password. I was wondering how I could get
data from such a webpage if I know the username and password
using Java.
Thanks in advance.

Using streams to capture data from physical standby database.

Does anybody know if it is possible to use streams to capture data from physical standby database instead of PROD database? The standby database is in read only mode. We use Oracle 11gR2.
Thanks in advance.

physical are closed : how will it managed the queues and overspill queues when target is not present? Also the data dictionary must reflect the primary but If you run capture, then you introduce rules that are not on primary: How ?

Welcome to SDN.
If you are saying that you want to read some request from the HTTP page,then you have to do it with BSP instead of ABAP.
Check this link for BSP.

Capturing data from ALV grid

Dear experts.
Can anyone help me to capture data from ALV grid to pass to a BAPI FM.
My ALV grid has the check box as first column and I want to capture only the rows in the grid with these checkboxes checked. I would prefer to do it without OO.

Capturing Data from forms before it is stored in the table

Hi...I would like to capture data from a form before the data is stored in the database. that is, i would like to access whatever data is entered into a field right after the user pushes the Insert button. I would like to do some processing on the data and then store it in the table along with the data from the other fields. Is it possible to access it through a bind variable or something? Please tell me how to go about it. Thanks

Hi,
You can make of the session variables to access the values. Every field in the form has a corresponding session variable with the name "A_<VARIABLE_NAME>". For example for deptno the session variable will be "A_DEPTNO"
Here is a sample.
declare
flightno number;
ticketno varchar2(30);
tdate date;
persons number;
blk varchar2(10) := 'DEFAULT';
begin
flightno := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHT_NO');
ticketno := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKET_NO');
tdate := p_session.get_value_as_date(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_TRAVEL_DATE');
persons := p_session.get_value_as_number(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_NOF_PERSONS');
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHTNO',
p_value => to_char(NULL)
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKETNO',
p_value => to_char(NULL)
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_TRAVEL_DATE',
p_value => to_char(NULL)
end;
In the above example the values of the variables are got into temporary variables and session variabels are set to null.
Thanks,

How we can populate the form data from 2D barcode

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how we can populate the form data from 2D barcode, will this can be done through script(javascript)?.
Thanks & Regards,
Faisal Afzal

I was hoping someone could put me in the right direction here. I am basically doing the same . I am decodeing the information stored in a 2D Bar code and sending this information to an XML file, then I am trying to combine that xml file with a blank PDF template but the process is failing beacuse there are some additional tag fields the XML data from the Decode->Extract XML process.
The XML file from the decode process gives the structure below..notice therer some extra tags (lines 2- 4)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
<xfa:datasets>
<xfa:data>
<form1>
The XML structure that is expected by the PDF template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1>
So the xml output of the Decode barcode + Extract XML process has three extra lines of tag. Is there a way I could use a process within liveCycle to clean out those three lines in real-time before sending the xml to be recombined with the PDF template.
Thanks

On my mac, photoshop cc "save as" removes capture date from exif data. How do I prevent this?

On my mac, photoshop cc "save as" removes capture date from exif data. How do I prevent this?

You had to reinstall CS6 after cancelling the CC as both were from the same Adobe ID. You can always use & keep both CC & CS6 together.
Please refer to the blog:
Can I install both CS6 and CC apps on my computer? « Caveat Lector

Hi, I would like to ask about how to capture data from real time loop.

Hi,
Here is some overvier of my project:
I have done real time control using labview 9.0. I used PID controller.
In order to optimise this controller, I need to capture data from my sensor(input) and actuator (output).
1. For example while real time control is running. I need to capture 1000 sample data (sensor(input) and actuator (output)).
Then I will used these data for PID optimisation on the other loop without intefere my real time loop.
2. When PID optimisation is completed, I will sent its PID parameter to real time control loop.
3. These operation is done in parallel.
Anybody can help me to solve these. Your idea may solve my problem.
TQ

Typically you will have to use RT FIFO or Queue communication to avoid any impact to your time critical loop.
Best regards
Christian

when the data is read using the barcode reader u need to capture the event in ur app.Its going to be the "Carriage Return" Event. Atleast thats what occurs in our app.
on the capture of that event ..u submit ur form....
if u have the txtbox where u enter the data using thebarcode reader...then..
<input type="text" size="14" name="test" onkeydown="return validateEnterKey()">your javascript function...
function validateEnterKey() {
     var keyChar
     var status = false;
     if (document.all) {
        keyChar = event.keyCode
     if (keyChar == 13) {
      document. formname.submit();
}

Using interactive form to capture data from user u0096 please helpu0085.

Hi folks,
I am trying to use an interactive form to capture some data from the user.
This is what I have planned to do
User runs a program which will have four function module calls
(FP_JOB_OPEN
FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME
'Function modules which the above function module returned'
FP_JOB_CLOSE)
This will display a print box where I can click on the print preview to get the interactive form.
From here I am not sure how to go about, but following is what I can think
Once the user enters the data in the form and he should be given some button to click(say save). This button click should trigger the program (PAI) which will read the data from the form (this data will be saved to a Z table)..
First of all, Can I do this? Please guide
Note: I am not using WebDynpro ABAP or JAVA. Rather I am trying to use a Module pool + interactive form solution.
Thanks in advance

could you tell me how to read data from the form ? which function module(s) to be used ?
