hi prasad,
welcome, u seem to have good experience. if you are interested to work in Auto ID,I think you can straing away start trying AUTO ID . Latter you can try your hand in XI to integrate to MM/ such functional modules.

RFID on SAP BUSINESS ONE

Hello, we are starting a project for making inventory movements using RFID, specially the options "receipts from production" and "sales orders". I've read about the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure Device Controller Interface, is this for SAP Business One too, or is it only for another version of SAP? Which solution is there for SAP Business One?, can this be accomplished with the SDK
I'll appreciate your responses.
Thanks,
Vicente

Hi
the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure Device Controller Interface describes the interface between SAP Auto-ID solution and an RFID device controller.
Configuration Guides:
http://service.sap.com/scm -> RFID -> Detailed Information
SAP AII supports the ALE-interface and the so called classic message interface that consists of an XML command messages (send from SAP to the DC) and XML notification messages (send from DC to SAP). Its based on XML/PML, so you can use it with any system with know to handle XML.
I don't know if the is something special for Business One

Sun Application Server 9.1_02 + Sun RFID Software 3.0 + Postgres8.3?

Hi all
I am working on some RFID-related project. I need to capture, fiter and then perform some other tasks on the data sensed by RFID readers, all in Java. So I choose Sun's software. There was no luck when I was trying to configure my system to work with Sun's software. Hope you experienced could do me a favor and help me out. Thanks in advance. Here are details.
In the installation guide of Sun Java System RFID Software 3.0, it says, to install RFID information server, Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q2 UR2 and PostgreSQL 8.0.4 are needed.
For the following 2 reasons:
1 PostgreSQL 8.0.4 is now not available to download on www.postgresql.org;
2 I think later version of PostgreSQL or Sun Application Server should be compatible to their earlier versions
I tried the following combination other than those stated in the installation guide:
1 PostgreSQL 8.3;
2 Sun Java System Application Server 9.1_02, bound with Sun Java Application Platform SDK Update 5;
3 Sun Java System RFID Software 3.0
Then, the application server successfully communicates with PostgreSQL, demonstrated by "ping success" through the connection pool built in application server's admin console.
The RFID information server communicates successfully with PostgreSQL, demonstrated by deploying RFID information server database successfully in PostgreSQL.
But, instructed by the installation guide, when I tried to validate my RFID information server installation by typing "http://localhost:8080/epcis" in the browser, the application server reported "the resource is not available".
I looked into many other internet resources and instructions about this, but no luck at all. I am now really, really stuck. Hope you could do me this favor. Thanks.
PS:
1 PostgreSQL8.3 is available on http://www.postgresql.org/download/
2 Sun Java System Application Server is available on http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/index.jsp
3 Sun Java System RFID Software and the installation guide are available on https://sun-rfid.dev.java.net/SJS_RFID_Software.html
4 Operation System is Windows XP

Would be a great idea to open-source the Sun RFID project, since the project is inactive over the last tree years.
Seems that this project have a great architecture, but the techonolgy is outdated ...
We have another open source initiave (google for Aspire RFID), but seems that this project still imature ...
Comercial options includes ALE Server, and Sendra Solutions (but I didn't evaluated these)

I installed IOUSB family log release osx 10.5.6 on my mac osx 10.5.8. I am trying to log an rfid reader on the usb. Sadly on restart the usb is no longer working. Happily Windows is still running OK. Is there a way to get my usb back working? And is there a way to navigate in Windows to the file I installed and remove it? Any help appreciated.

Yes, it does. Right to where I am supposed to log in, but since the USB is not working (either mouse or keyboard), I'm stuck. I have to shut down and restart and boot into windows.

Connection to serial port for communication RFID

HI,
I have occurred problem in communication to serial port for accessing the RFID
through Serial Port COM1 or COM2 . I got garbage values of Card .
Please give me the code for accessing serial port and indicter the cadr is detected by RFID and read the data on card.

EHAG microchip 13,56 MHz dual reader and Mifare 1KB contactless smartcard.
I've succeed to retrieve the data from the transponder (card) but it just only once when i click the button from my application. My question is how do i retrieve the data continuously from the card for every few milliseconds?
sorry for my language.

How mobile device ( rfid/barcode reader) communicates with SAP transaction.

Dear Friends !
Good morning, How are you ?
I want to understand that in ITSmobile How Mobile device ( RFID Reader ot Barcode scanner/reader) to fetch the data and supply the ITS screen.
I believe every mobile device has some .dll file or something in that we have some methods if we call it say in .net or java application we can read the rfid or barcode and from the returning paramter of the .dll method we can get information what we want ( if i m not wrong).
now the question is if I have some barcode /rfid number which is assigned to sap material number. if on mobile device I run mm02 transaction code n trigger the gun can I get the material number in material number field . ( assume I have program which can fetch the material number from barcode/rfid number.) ? but to pass rfid number / barcode what should I do. I can write javascript and call that method but dont know weather I can use javascript or not in that.
to be simple:
How can I get barcode / rfid number to my sap transaction. if possible
please give me any suggestion. document link... help.... whatever may help me to understand this. I will greatly appreciate your reply
Thanking you
Regards
Naeem

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to note 1057759 for the delivered Drivers for Peripherals in SAP DOE. This lists all the supported barcode scanners for SAP Netweaver Mobile. Those derivers are certified after testing to work only with that device and OS configuration.
The Javadoc to get an idea about how to use those PIOS API for barcode scanner
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/nwmobile/SP3/laptops/com/sap/ip/me/api/pios/scanner/ScannerConnection.html
As input from Barcode scan have to be taken in Wedge Mode, there is no need to do any developments in MI JSP Application. To enable barcode scan one can download barcode scan tools available from Handheld Vendor sites

http://www.tigint.com/articles/Asset_Tracking_with_RFID.html

Hi Dave,
We have a DevZone tutorial on The State of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Take a look through this, it has a lot of information. Also, scroll down to the bottom of this page, it discusses what NI products can be used for RFID reading. We also have a Case Study called "Using National Instruments Software and Hardware to Develop and Test RFID Tags".
Hope this helps a bit!

SmartForms w/ Printronix SL4M RFID printer in Zebra emulation mode

Trying to get a basic Smartform to print using a new printer. It is a Printronix SL4M RFID printer that emulates several printer modes, including Zebra.
The printer was changed to Zebra mode, device type in SAP is LZEB2. Configuration printout on the printer shows it in Zebra mode and using a 203 dpi printer head. Configuration is all defaults (command prefix, label prefix, etc).
Output generates in SAP. Spool is ok. Print preview is ok. Completes with no errors in SAP. Physical printer is giving intermittent results. Usually, no output at all. One time, we got half a label that actually contained valid data. Sometimes we get "invalid data" messages on the printer. Last test spit out two blank labels.
Unfortunately the printer is in Germany and I am in the US. Going to try to change the printer to "ZGL QUIET". This is supposed to print out the ZPL code as text. Want to see if any control characters are getting changed. Also checking settings that are code page/language specific.
Looking for any suggestions. Thanks.
Norm

Gave up with SmartForms using the Zebra device type LZEB2. It was going to a Printronix printer that emulates a Zebra. Was not sure if it would work and had to move on. Will go back later and attempt.
Also, Printronix provides SAP device types for use through SmartForms. Others have used successfully. We had problems installing at our current release level.
Switched to SAPscript. Had issues with ZPL control characters being substituted in the default European configuration on the physical printer. Made changes and had some success.
Using one of the international character sets seems to be working.
European character set #300 - Latin 2 8859-2.
It does not replace the Zebra control characters for caret and tilda.
It also does not seem to replace the Printronix control characters caret, left and right curly brackets.
Added commands to the SAPscript layout set. Still need to perform some additional testing, but last tests were successful.
ZPL II command
^CI300
Printronix PGL command
^i300^-

Need to read Hex data format for Handheld device. (SAP AII RFID )

Hello,
we developed a custom screens for packing, unpacking, tag commission.. etc for handheld device for my client. the Serial number field type is /ain/barcode. Its working fine. but for the new system need to read the Hex format. I created a new field in the screen. but the handheld device is not reading the Serial number in Hex format.
Could anyone suggest me how to read Hex data in Handheld devices. We are using Motorola MC9090 Series.
Regards,
Kamal

Hi
Are you using the reader to read an RFID tag or for reading barcodes.
Ideally, if you read an EPC Gen2 RFID tag, for example, the 96 bit encoded EPC is read and that can be converted to its equivalent HEX format for posting the observation to SAP AII.
In case of barcodes, the string is read as is printed on the barcode.

Online Meet-up 6. How does RFID infrastructure figure as a part of ESA ?

ESA is a technology similar to RFID as a technology.
For Ex: If a company does not have an SAP system at this moment. We have to work with their legacy system. Then we need to use the ESA. With the ESA, it will be easier to work with any system.ESA is used to support to enable RFID solutions.

MAM25 experiences on RFID

Dear all, some question about mobile application MAM and RFID.
1) I would like to know how many people is using or tested the MAM25 with RFID and in this case wich devices are you using.
Please specify not only the hw provider (Hp, Dell...) but if possible also the model.
We are making difficult to find out devices supported for RFID with MAM25.
2) For myr goals it's ok also if the RFID reader/writer device is not integrated but it's an handheld model (like the iPen Bt Pro from Microsensys), connected to the mobile device (PDA or Win32 laptop) via bluetooth interface.
Someone has some experience on that ?
I posted a message like that in RFID forum, but I did not recive any feedback. Sorry if it's not the proper forum.
Thanks in advance

Out of MAM 3.0 SR3 release note:
RFID Reader: Only the socket communication card (model 6E) is
presently supported for handheld devices only. This card will
support laptop devices in upcoming MI releases. Refer to note
995387 for additional details.
I think there is a plan to expand the driver base upon request. Socket card works fine in the test environement.
Thank you,
Julien.
