What is mass-serialization ?

What is mass-serialization  in SAP AUTO ID ?
how is that related to Consumer goods and pharma company.

Hello PSRK,
Mass Serialization is a conceptual term which is not tangibily present in SAP Auto ID but it can be said as a thing which can be achieved using SAP Auto ID Infrastructure.
Mass Serialization actually means giving unique numbers to each item/case/pallet so that it can be uniquley identified in large numbers. Meaning i have tagged 100 consumer items at one time to identify them uniquely. This number in RFID terms is called EPC - Electronic Product Code
EPC - in consumer goods or pharma industry will have an encoding type.  The encoding type is
GTIN _ Global Trade Identification number at item level (eg. coke bottle)
SSCC _ Serial Shipping Container Code (eg coke case/coke pallets)
EPC = Encdoing Type + Serial Number makes us identify an item uniquely across the globe
GTIN or SSCC identifies a particular organization and its particular product
GTIN = Company Code + Asset Type
SAP Auto ID lets us generate this EPC numbers and encode this numbers onto RFID tags/ 1-D Barcodes/ 2-D Barcodes etc and these tags are applied on products/cases/pallets
This whole concept is called Mass Serialization.
Please revert for other questions
Thnks and Regards

  • What is the serialization concept in ALE/IDOC?

    what is the serialization concept in ALE/IDOC?

    Hi Srinu ,
    IDoc Serialization means, sending/posting the idocs in sequence.
    We serialize IDocs in the following cases:
    · If you want the Integration Server to process the corresponding IDoc XML messages in the same sequence that it receives them from the IDoc adapter at the inbound channel.
    · If you want the receiver to receive the IDocs in the same sequence that the IDoc adapter sends them at the Integration Server outbound channel.
    The sequence at the Integration Server inbound or outbound channel can only be guaranteed if only IDocs are processed, and not if different protocols (for example, IDocs and proxies) are processed together.
    Do not confuse IDoc serialization using the IDoc adapter with the ALE serialization of IDocs.
    Prerequisites
    · The quality of service EOIO (Exactly Once In Order) must be specified in the message header.
    · The receiver system or the sender system must be based on SAP Web Application Server 6.40 or higher. If this is not the case, the quality of service is automatically changed to EO for compatibility reasons and the message is processed accordingly.
    Procedure
    If you want the Integration Server to process the IDoc XML messages created by the IDoc adapter in the same sequence that the IDocs are sent by your application, proceed as follows:
    · Enter a queue name in your application. You can use 16 alphanumeric characters. The prefix SAP_ALE_ is then added.
    The IDoc adapter checks the prefix and replaces it with the prefix of the corresponding Integration Server inbound queue (for example, XBQI0000).
    If you want the receiver to receive the IDocs in the same sequence that they are sent by the Integration Server using the IDoc adapter, proceed as follows:
    · In the communication channel, select the check box Queue processing for the receiver.
    The IDoc adapter replaces the prefix of the outbound queue (XBQO) with the prefix SAP_ALE_.
    You can display the individual messages in the qRFC monitor of the outbound queue. To do this, do one of the following:
    ¡ Use the queue ID in the list of displayed messages in the monitor for processed XML messages.
    ¡ Use the transaction ID in the list of displayed XML messages in the IDoc adapter.
    ¡ Call the transaction qRFC Monitor (Outbound Queue)(SMQ1).
    To navigate directly to the display of messages in the IDoc adapter, double click the transaction ID of a message in the outbound queue.
    To do this, you must have registered the display program IDX_SHOW_MESSAGE for the outbound queue in the qRFC administration (transaction SMQE) beforehand.
    In both cases, the function module IDOC_INBOUND_IN_QUEUE is called, which enables EOIO processing of the messages. The processing sequence is determined by the sequence of the function module calls.
    Unlike the other function modules (interface versions from the communication channel), with this function module you have to transfer segment types rather than segment names in the data records.
    Serialization of Messages
    Use
    Serialization plays an important role in distributing interdependent objects, especially when master data is being distributed.
    IDocs can be created, sent and posted in a specified order by distributing message types serially.
    Errors can then be avoided when processing inbound IDocs.
    Interdependent messages can be serially distributed in the following ways:
    Serialization by Object Type
    Serialization by Message Type
    Serialization at IDoc Level
    (not for IDocs from generated BAPI-ALE interfaces)
    Serialization at IDoc Level
    Use
    Delays in transferring IDocs may result in an IDoc containing data belonging to a specific object arriving at its destination before an "older" IDoc that contains different data belonging to the same object. Applications can use the ALE Serialization API to specify the order IDocs of the same message type are processed in and to prevent old IDocs from being posted if processing is repeated.
    SAP recommends that you regularly schedule program RBDSRCLR to clean up table BDSER (old time stamp).
    Prerequisites
    IDocs generated by BAPI interfaces cannot be serialized at IDoc level because the function module for inbound processing does not use the ALE Serialization API.
    Features
    ALE provides two function modules to serialize IDocs which the posting function module has to invoke:
    · IDOC_SERIALIZATION_CHECK
    checks the time stamps in the serialization field of the IDoc header.
    · IDOC_SERIAL_POST
    updates the serialization table.

    Ex: ADRMAS, DEBMAS(customer)
    ADRMAS, CREMAS(Vendor)
    In this case, Before posting Customer Data or Vendor Data it requires Address Data.

  • Basic: what is mass compile (LV updater 6.0.2)?

    I received LV updater 6.0.2 and when I run it, it asked whether I wanted to perform mass compile. What is this? what are its advantages/disadvantages?

    Advantage: all of the VIs are updated at once.
    Disadvantage: takes a long time.
    Each of the VIs that you open that are in a previous version will ask if you want to save them in teh new version when you close anyway. I think that not updating and just doing them "as you use them" is the better way to go (for saving time).
    On the other hand, I told my computer to mass compile and then went home for the evening. Pick your time.

  • What is mass compilation.

    I did mass compilation.But can anybody say what is it and how will it affect labview files

    If I had to guess I'd say the program was linked to a VI that is either (a) no longer included with 7.1, or (b) it was directly linked to a VI in the LV 6 folder (such as an example VI), and so LV 7 can't find it since that folder no longer exists. If you provide the name of the VI that it's looking for someone may be able to identify it if it's one that ships with LabVIEW.

  • Mass storage message

    what does it mean when it asks me "do you want to enable mass storage". What is mass storage and what does it do?

    Mass storage mode allows you to use your BB as a 'jump' drive when connected to your PC.  That is, when you connect to your PC, and it asks, and you enable it, you can go into Windows Explorer and see the files on the BB media card.  You can easily move files back and forth btwn PC and BB this way.

  • Serializable and externalizable

    Hi all,
    What is the diffrence between the externalizable and serializable and when do we use each one of them ?
    Thanks in advance
    Harish

    Both are interfaces with Externalizable extending Serializable. However where Serializable is a tagging interface (an interface with no methods to implement) Externalizable contains two methods to implement: readExternal and writeExternal. Use Serializable when you require default serialization (i.e., all non-transient, serializable attributes of a class and it's superclass(es) are serialized). Use Externalizable when you require complete control over the serialization process (i.e., you determine what attributes to serialize and how far up the hiearchical chain to traverse although this can be achieved via the Serializable interface as well by providing implementations of the ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream class's readObject and writeObject methods respectively).

  • Nokia 5800 behaves strange

    When i purchased Nokia 5800, i found it really good and i thought, this is my best phone till date. But lately, it really made me bad with tons of bugs showing every other day. Here are the list.
    1- Install many applications in your phone and your scrollbar in Application will behave really bad. It does not scroll properly. You can not see the applications in the last row in grid view. You will have to tocuh the screen carefully to make it upwards to see the application icons that are not showing with scrollbars. I will soon paste image here as my cell is in Nokia Care now.
    2- Change the font size of your cell to small and then do a grid view. You will not be able to see the name of icons. small font size works fine only with list view.
    3. Play a big .flv file and after running smothly for sometime. It starts behaving bad. sound breaks and you are not able to listen sound properly.
    4. Open a .flv file and while it's opening. Tocuh it to make full screen and you will see d-pad that you see when you play flash games. Do we need it while watching .flv. I need to wait for it to open and then only i can touch to screen to make it full screen. That shows it's poor performance.
    5. Press quick media bar shortcut in home screen and you will see your clock hides first than other elements on the screen. It's shows the UI repaint is so slow that you can see the difference in elements being hide.
    6. I don remember, if i ever played with my cell too much, but yet within 4 months of it's usage. My LCD is gone. When someone call or when i on the screen. It shows paraller lines with background colors of home screen icons. It functions when you touch the screen, but you are not able to see anything on the screen. It happens so frequent and your money what you put on your cell goes in vain.
    Problems
    1. I had a theme and a wallpaper in my cell other than default theme when i was doing a mass storage. As soon as i plugged the USB and it selected mass storage. My cell automatically changed its theme and wallpaper to default one that comes when you purcahse cell. It become slow and the last dialled green button stopped working in home screen. It woks in other screens but not on home screen. It means i am not able to dial the last dialled number.
    2. One of my image showing more than 40 times in Gallery with the same name. What i did is deleted the one and it's no more in file system, but it's still there as icon in Gallery and when i try to delete all those duplicate icons. It says can't delete. General error. I have more than 40 dead icons and i am not able to do anything.
    3. Sometimes my clock on home screen just dont displayes. Click on the clock's place and come back to home screen and it will show you the clock. but again move to any other screen and come back to home screen and again clock is not there. Everytime, i need to see the clock, i have to touch the clock's place and then back to home screen to see the clock and that too, till the time , i am in home screen.
    4. Play some videos and your cell will become too hot to touch it. Feels like it will burn out.
    5. My very old Nokia 2650 has better sound. when someone calls me and i am not in a quiet place. I have to open speaker to listen the voice properly. I feel it's low compare to my oldest cell.
    6. Recently listened the songs on Nokia E63 with same headphone i use and the sound quality is much much better than my 5800.
    Features Missing
    1. Flv player does not give seekbar functionality. If i have a big video file say for 10 minutes and i want to see portion of it. I am not able to see. Either from start or from the place where it stopped. Why no seekbar like other players when play mp4.
    Other than these, I have a long list of small small problems i face, since my cell is in Nokia care, i am not able to write them here.
    If anyone else has the same problems, then please share here.

    This most be because you have the theme installed on the card which is what the mass storage uses. Reinstall it to your main memory.

  • 8520, Media Card

    I am trying to format my media card. I went to options and the media card does not show up in the list. There is a Memory and in that it says media card. Should I format it that way? Or should Media Card be listed under options? The phone showed that the media card was inserted when I put it back in.

  • Importing pics from my device to my computer

    Hi Everyone,
    I have had my Tour 9630 for years and never had a problem importing pics until yesterday. I can see the pics I want to import on my phone but when I connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software, they don't show up in the "Pictures" tab under "Media Sync" I get the following message, "There are no pictures to import from your device"
    Also, when I connect the USB cable from the phone to the Tour, I also get this message, "Do you want to turn on Mass Storage Mode? You might not be able to access some media files in this mode" This is the first time that I have seen this message.
    One last item, I went to Wal-Mart on Sunday (24 MAR) and using my micro card in their machine, printed one pic. This is where I believe my problem started because it seems the Desktop Software can read the micro card any more. Can anyone out there get me back to the point where I can import my pics again using the BlackBerry Desktop Software? Also, is there a USB type device out there that I can insert my micro card into and download my pics until I resolve this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    1Lonewolf
    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I can't tell you why the Desktop Software stopped working for you...I personally never use it for that purpose at all. Rather, I use Mass Storage Mode, which allows me to treat my BB as a USB drive (2 drives, if there is a media card in the BB) from my Windows computer...allowing me to drag/drop all files that I desire to/from the BB in any manner I choose.

    There are many types of USB SD card readers available for computers. Some are large devices, internally installed into the PC. Others are an adapter with a USB plug on one end, and an SD Card Slot on the other. And there are many variations in between. You should shop for a USB SD Card reader device and choose the one that best meets your needs for price and capability.
    Good luck!

  • An attribute of the project was changed

    I've upgraded labview from 8.2.1 to 8.5 and I have done the same with a project.  Now, when I try and close the project it comes up the the Save Changes dialog even though I have not made any changes since saving under 8.5.  I have tried a mass compile and that didn't solve the problem, it still thinks there is an attribute that has changed.
    Please help.

    To answer the earlier question of why the LabVIEW folder:  What Does Mass Compile Do in LabVIEW?   Basically, it relinks all subVIs to main VIs, checks for corruptions, as well as updates to the latest version.
    Are you by chance using Teststand at all?  If so, this may be related: Why Do My VIs Open with Asterisks After Being Mass Compiled in LabVIEW for TestStand?
    Really, I imagine that one of the VIs in your project is still somehow not updating it's links to the new subVIs.  Can you post one of the projects that is exhibiting this behavior?
    One thing you may try is to save a copy of the entire project (one of the save as options) and see if the copy acts the same way.
