Content

Hi

I had previously implemented a barcode in XML publisher before the patch 9440398 was released at my previous employment and had to write custom functions code128a/b/c but looks like Oracle is supporting barcode128 a/b/c with this patch.

I am unable to use it with the little information that is attached with this patch. when I checked the barcode_vendor_id it was defined as : Oracle XML Publisher , instead of XMLPBarVendor . A lot has changed since I worked on this. Please help me with the new class files

Apps version : R12.1.3

BI Publisher template builder version : 10.1.3.4.1

Aim:

barcode some fields in bi publisher report to be printed on pdf and physically print it for scanning purposes.

What I did to achieve this :

I have defined data template , where my report query goes.

I then defined rtf where I used the formatting for barcodes.

<?register-barcode-vendor:'oracle.xdo.template.rtf.util.barcode.BarCode128';'Oracle XML Publisher'?>

COL

code128a

<?format-barcode:COL;'Code128a'?>

code128b

<?format-barcode:COL;'Code128b'?>

code128c

<?format-barcode:COL;'Code128c'?>

I also have used various combinations of the above like :

<?register-barcode-vendor:oracle.apps.xdo.template.rtf.util.XDOBarcodeUtil;’Oracle XML Publisher’?>

or

<?register-barcode-vendor:'oracle.xdo.template.rtf.util.barcode.BarCode128';'Oracle XML Publisher'?>

attaching the datadefinition and rtf im playing around with.

thanks for any help

<?format-barcode:COL;'Code128a'?>

or

<?format-barcode:COL;'Code128a';'Oracle XML Publisher'?>

None seem to generate barcodes in pdf output.

what am I missing here ?

Do I have to get code128.ttf file and install it like in XML admin (How To Install (Register) a New Font Using XML Publisher [373377.1])

Reference :

Obtain BARCODE128.class for Advanced Barcode Usage in Oracle Applications 11i with XML Publisher 5.6.3 [1072226.1]

this document mentions to use

<?format-barcode:COL;'Code128a'?>

Do I have to install barcode font in word too ? could it not be picked up by new xdo classes ?

has anyone implemented this successfully ?
