2D barcode as part of logging into WADACO

Hi,I have heard about similar questions/reqeusts before. Note that the login part of wadaco is not coded or controlled by the wadaco app, its handled by the mobile framework that the wadaco app is using. So if you want the login part to support barcode and it don't support it when you try that, requests for that should be sent to mobile framework teams instead.Are you using the old Windows Mobile app (for IFS Apps8/9/10) or the more recent Aurena Native Windows app (released with IFS Apps10 Update9)?For old Windows Mobile app, it is the Touch apps framework team handling that. For the new Aurena Native app, it is the Aurena Native Mobile team handling that.

How to setup and use scanners for WaDaCo in the best way

If you have 80 users/scanners working at the same time you need 80 wadaco licenses, but if you have like 40 users during the day and 40 users during the night using it you could handle it with around 40+ licenses.This how it works for Applications 8-9-10. The licensing for IFS Cloud will probably be different.

WADACO Apps 8 Vs Apps 10 Differences

• What modules are in APPS8 and APPS10 WADACO?The modules/components are almost the same between the versions, but in Apps8 we only had 19 processes while in Apps10 we have 53.• Are there any key differences?• Any improvements between the two?• What difference in functionality is there in Apps 10?Apps10 have a lot more configuration options, better performance, in the latest updates of Apps10 you have the new Aurena client and 3 new Aurena mobile/native scanning apps for Android/IOS/Windows. Apps10 version is supporting new functionalities from regular Apps10 like handling units and shipment.• Can the Cedar Bay modules be replicated in Apps8 and Apps 10?I don't know.

WaDaCo - LOV auto pick function

Auto Pick LOV always fetch the first value in the select it creates, so yes you need to modify the LOV method (which is in Handling_Unit_API). It has a order by statement in the end that looks like this now:stmt_ := stmt_ || ' ORDER BY Utility_SYS.String_To_Number(' || column_name_ || '), ' || column_name_ || ' ASC';If you want to reverse the sorting order, ASC needs to be changed to DESC. But note that the same method is used by other processes also like Report Picking of Handling Units, Pack into Handling Unit on Shipment, Receive Shop Order and Receive Shop Order Handling Unit, so a change here will affect those processes also(even if you don’t use auto pick in those since it affects the whole sorting order for the LOV). If you don’t do additional coding to make sure it only happens for this process which is very possible to code (process id can be fetched from session id).

WADACO not failing over even though IFS does with Oracle RAC?

Hi Nick,I don't know anything about RAC, but I don't think wadaco is handling connections much differently than the rest of the application.I think the reason you get license error here is because of the custom licensing functionality that wadaco is using to check the wadaco user licenses that is very sensitive to a stable and working connection to the IFS App Server and if there is any issues there, we unfortunately catch issues like that in the licensing handling that are not really license issues and instead environment issues.We have seen these environment issues causing license errors in our internal dev environments from time to time, but I have not heard about any real big issues with customer environments so far.This should not be a problem in the coming IFS Cloud 21R1 release since licensing is handled differently there.

WADACO solution for Label / Bar code printing

Hi,Note that the main purpose of wadaco is not to generate/print barcodes, its a scanning app. But we do some generating/printing barcodes in some processes since we just simulate what happens in the regular window/page. So yes, you can generate and print bar codes without wadaco, there is many places around the application where you can do that from different menu options or command.I don’t have list of where you can do that, but if you find a wadaco process that does that you look up the similar functionality in regular application.But if you are looking for more advance barcodes like GS1, then I don’t think we have any such handling at the moment in the application, even thou you can probably create custom reports that could do that with our tools or with 3d party tools.

WaDaCo - Unique Line ID - Database Location

Yes, UNIQUE_LINE_ID is objid. Since the pick list objects didn’t had any clear line keys we needed a data item that could identify the whole record so we choose to use objid for this purpose even thou its not something that is visible for a normal user, so that why this item most often is hidden and auto-picked in a guided processes.But please don’t move this item down in the configuration like some customers have done, it is needed early in the configuration to quickly identify a pick list record since using this will speed up the performance.

Settings for Scan It App to drop prefix character on label when scanning

Just a comment about this. To my knowledge Scanit don’t trim off any alpha characters for number data items, that trimming must have happened in the scanning device before the string reaches the Scanit field. Since you can enter/send alpha characters in number data items but you will then get an error directly when trying to save it.Only trimming that could happened is if you use GS1 barcodes then our server framework will remove the AI Code from the barcode string when each object in the barcode is saved to corresponding data item.

WaDaCo Camera Functionality

Hi,Unfortunately its not visible from the configuration client except that you get an error if you try and enabled it for a process that don’t support camera.The fastest way to find which processes supports it is if you are an administrator and have access to database and can write some sql select against our views, the you could try this select:SELECT * FROM data_capture_processWHERE camera_enabled_db = 'TRUE'Or if you have access to the source code/files you could search for *.sql files where you can find process_camera_enabled_db_ and those files/transactions that have this set to true are the ones you are looking for.I hope this helps you.

GS1 Application Identifier

From what I remember the only process in wadaco where you can set the Alt Handling Unit ID is the Create Handling Unit process.For the rest of the processes its only used for searching/filtering.In most processes its only our Internal Handling Unit ID that is actually used and sent to most API-methods like in picking for example, SSCC/Alt Handling Unit ID are only there as extra information.

GS1 Application Identifier

Ok so its Report Picking Part, that process have 2 different handling units, the reserved one and the one on the shipment, so if you have shipment_id and probably shp_handling_unit_id data items before SHP_ALT_HANDLING_UNIT_LABEL_ID in the configuration it should be able to pick up that value automatically.

GS1 Application Identifier

If you mean by “get information into” set the Alt Handling Unit ID from wadaco, I guess from Create Handling Unit Process it possible, but from other processes its only used to search for a handling unit, not to set/update the value.Or do you rather mean automatically fetch a value into field while running a wadaco process without manually entering it or scan it, yes I think that is possible in most processes if you have use automatic value set to Fixed for that data item (but then handling unit should already been identified somehow earlier in the configuration so this value can be fetched for it). But note that its a bit tricky since several Handling Units can have the same Alt Handling Unit ID so its not a unique ID in that way (like Handling Unit ID or SSCC are).

GS1 Application Identifier

As for anything connected to GS1 from IFS point of view especially for Wadaco , its very open for the user to set this up. You can choose any suitable AI code you can find or use the 90-99 (company internal) ones as long as it match the data type and max lengths for strings. And as Johan said before Alt Handling Unit is very open to use and don’t have any official GS1 AI code connected to it since it could be anything here.

Prevent WaDaCo Incomplete Transactions

Not really. The things you can configure is if you want to have an extra confirm before the process/session executes and also you can change the Process Completion Action (No Action, Create New Session, Return to Menu).

WADACO (Move into Stock - Print Label)

From what I can see 'Move into Stock' (renamed to 'Move Part In Receipt' in Apps10) was created to print the barcode that you used in the process, getting its value from BARCODE_ID data item and then just (re-)printing that one so if you didn’t have value for the BARCODE_ID data item no report will be printed, while other processes actually create and print a new barcode from the used stock keys so that is why they have the 'Original Pack Size' data item also. I don’t know if we should consider this implementation as a correct implementation or a bug from a functional perspective, that someone else have to decide. But it could have been extended to support both a re-print of a known barcode or create a new one and print if barcode isn’t used, but then we have to add Original Pack Size as a data item and call a different method during execution phase so you cannot just add the data item, also the server code needs changes for it to work.

WADACO missing transactions

I think that 1 or 2 processes had some install issues like wrong deploy.ini settings so those weren’t installed automatically if you just take the released version of Apps10 without necessary bug fixes. But those could always be installed manually afterwards like johnw66 mentioned.

ORDER_NO might work if you add it to the PICK_LIST_NO, but the other ones might work if you add them on UNIQUE_LINE_ID or in worst case after the ORDER items (ORDER_NO, RELEASE_NO, SEQUENCE_NO).

Wadaco - Sync issue

Hi Jonas, Are you sure it is an older version where there visible changes like the order of the data items that were from the old version or was it more like for example the menu label title was the old title but when it was run it is actually the new version? I do remember we had problems in older versions that if you had removed some configurations and then added new ones that used the same configuration id number that you could in some cases get the old (translated) menu label show on your new configuration. I think it looked ok in the configuration client but in the scanning client you would see the old menu label since it was fetched from translation table (but when you run it is the new configuration that is used) and that one had not been removed when the old configuration was removed. I haven’t seen that issue for several years now. You can use the Translation RMB on the configuration header to see which old labels exist for the menu label and maybe remove the old one if that c

WaDaCo Parked Sessions

A session can get parked for several reasons, like mentioned above but also by for example the background job DATA_CAPTURE_SESSION_API.PARK_ALL_ACTIVE_SESSIONS/”Park All Active Data Collection Sessions” this job also have some settings you can use to control what will be parked. If the same user starts more than one session the old one will be parked automatically. Also if you have prioritized users setup they can force normal users sessions to be parked to save up a license slot for the prioritzed user. In the background job I mentioned you can even setup if a prioritized users session could be parked or not. A parked session will NOT take up a license slot, the license check only looks at active sessions.

IFS Report Designer - ascii CHR(29) problem

I can’t help you with your Report Designer issue, but if you are planning to only use that QR code to scan something into a wadaco process, you can always try and change the FNC1 Separator character in wadaco instead if char 29 causes problems. Since its FNC1 is totally configurable in wadaco and usually most scanners can be change to use other FNC1 characters for GS1 I think. FNC1 Separator: The FNC1 separator character used when a GS1 barcode is scanned. A GS1 barcode that contain a variable-length data element, that is not the last field, must have a delimiter following the last data character to indicate where that data character ends, and the following data element begins. The Group Separator character, ASCII value 29, is used as a default value in the GS1 standard. Please note that this is not a visible character in the scanned barcode string. In the scanning device, the character representing the separator can be re-defined. For example, the ASCII value 93 can be used which co
