Hi Sara,
SAP Device Controller Interface is the interface that will be used by device controller softwares to send data to SAP AII and vice versa. Device controllers filter the RFID reads and send a unique read event to SAP AII. SAP AII on receiving this message processes it. It can be the case that as part of processing we also require to send data back to devices/controller or send a command such as tag commissioning. At this time also the same interface is used.

Prime Infrastructure Device and Interface Health Collection Settings

Hello,
i am evaluating Prime Infrastructure 1.2, so far i have added two devices. A router 2911 and an Catalyst 3560x, but for both devices i don't get any graphs for memory, cpu or interface utilization.
I tried to enable Administration > System Settings > Monitoring Settings Auto Monitoring but the changes are not saved even i nice status message on the bottom right corner.
after a refresh it's like before.
I have an NCS as well and there i have in the background tasks Switch CPU and Memory Poll as well as Switch Interface Utilization Poll. In the Prime Infrastructure i don't have them at all. According to the Configuration Guide there should be a CAT Switch CPU and Memory Poll and a CAT Switch Interface Poll Task, but there is nothing.
Here the Screenshot from NCS
and here from Prime Infrastructure

Alex, Suwa
You can still monitor interfaces with the following workaround (which works for me):
Under Design > Monitoring Configuration:
From the tree on the left, expand Features > Interface Health
If needed, select the interface parameters to poll and the polling intervals, provide a name to your template and then click "Save as new template"
Under Deploy > Monitoring Deployment:
Locate your template and click the green "Deploy" button
Select which devices you want to poll, or just select a group like "Routers", Switches etc.
That should do the trick and information should show up after few minutes.
Hope it helps,
Tomer
BTW- you can also perform the same for device health, by using "Device Health" Metrics template under "Design".

SAP AII (Auto-ID Infrastructure) to BizTalk RFID scenario

Hi Everyone,
did some one work on this type of project ....
This project is <b>to develop a connector between SAP AII (Auto-ID Infrastructure) and BizTalk RFID for handling RFID related activities.</b>
Quick response would be appreaciated.....
Cheers,
Raghavesh

Hi Raghavesh,
If you want to use a Connector to communicate between Biztalk and SAP AII..you can use .Net connector available.
The other way is SAP AII uses XI for Communication...so you can use webservices between Biztalk and XI. The below document should be helpful
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7521a237-0701-0010-499b-b3285b789c0d
Use SOAP adapter for BIZTALK .
Use plainHttp adapter for XI .

How do I integrate an RTLS system to the Auto-ID Infrastructure (AII)

Where would I find documentation and/or code examples that explain how to integrate a Real Time Location System (RTLS) to the Auto-ID Infrastructure (AII)?

Hi Rchard,
The answer to your question will depend on many things. Here are three initial questions you should answer to get you started.
(1) What do you mean by RTLS - I have heard as many defnitions as there are people talking abou the concept. One view (CompTIA) is that it refers to a container tracking solution in a large container yard e.g. intermodal.
(2) Which business processes are you looking at? - AII 4.0 contains business processes (receiving, shipping, returnables) that you may be able to leverage in your solution. However, there may be other aspects of the solution (e.g. handheld RFID interrogator usage) which you may need to tie directly into XI. Another issue to watch for in regard to AII is the tag data standard - you will not want to use EPC-type tag data on a 433 MHz active tag and you may want to tie sensor data e.g. temperature or movement into your tag data. In this case AII may also be a difficult choice.
(3) Which tags you will use e.g. 433 MHz active versus passive LF or other passive tags will also make a huge difference in that they determine the scope of your solution e.g. what is feasible and what is not.
Hope this helps you get started with your question.
Cheers, Chris

Sap AII auto id infrastructure - BW Extraction with 0AI_1 Datasource

Hi Gurus,
We are working with Sap AII "auto id infrastructure" and BI Nw2004s Sp12.
We have problems with the standard datasource 0AI_1.
We have find the problem in the source of the function "/AIN/BW_FILL_IT_0AII_TRAN" in the standard program "/AIN/BW_INIT_UPLOAD_30". In this program there are different errors.
We have find errors also in the the delta extraction, the field ROCANCEL is not valorized!
We suggest to Sap to repair this program!
Best regards,
Domenico.

Hi Gurus,
We'd like to know if someone is using the standard datasource 0AI_1.
We are getting a lot of extraction errors.
Thanks in advance.
Domenico.

SAP AII (Auto ID Infrastructure) - Licence.

Hello ,
We are on ECC 6.0. We want to install SAP AII(Auto ID Infrastructure).Does SAP AII is a component content in ECC 6.0 Licence agreement or should we go for separate licence for SAP AII.
Any Advice.
Thanks
Mahendra

Hi Mahendra, SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is not part of SAP ECC 6.0 installations. Please contact your (partner) account manager to license it separately. Regards, Petra

How is location represented in the Auto-ID Infrastructure (AII)?

If a device provides position fixes with lat/long coordinates rather than a read point or GLN can that still be integrated to the AII infrastructure?

Hi Richard,
As mentioned by Arul its functionality of Device Controller which does the device management. If the Device Controller is smart (has the logic) enough to understand the location of Devices with respect to lat and long then its possible. As then the Device controller will send the relevant information to AII which then runs the relevant rule.

Amit Deshpande

When did SAP start RFID- AUTO IDsolution?

Is XI compulsory for Auto ID Infrastructure?

Is XI compulsory for Auto ID Infrastructure?
Thank You
Rucha Atre

XI is a middleware from SAP that is needed to connect to other SAP systems like SAP R/3 or non SAP systems.
Now for SAP Auto ID Infrastructure scenarios where integartion is to happen to the SAP R/3, the config guides by SAP has taken XI as the middleware.
However, XI is not at all compulsory to integrate to R/3. Any other middleware that can map from AII to R/3 or other systems can be used with AII.
But if you are looking to configure the standard flexible delivery scenario from AII then its better to work with XI as SAP clearly details the steps needed to configure the solution in their configuration guides.

ISE - auto assign a device to group upon device registration

Hi,
Is it possible to auto assign a device to group upon device registration?
Typically in the registration portal, once "Register" button is clicked, the MAC address is put into "Registered Device" group, but let's say I want it to be put in different groups depending on the AD group? (Let's say when if Staff A register the device, the device automatically put into group A, Staff B to group B, and so forth)
Thanks

If you create a portal Specific for device registration, you can define to which ID groups will belong the registered endpoints.
I didn't tried this, but it might be possible to have a different portal for registration based on AD group, if you chain it after CWA or Dot1x. That would make an additional redirection though.
