Barcode / Weight from RS232 Cable interface

[Former Member]

We are in the process of developing a solution in WDA which is very tightly integrated with standard SAP.

For most of the inputs, my client uses barcode readers attached to the PC and also for some of the operations we are suppose to get the weights from Weigh Scales directly without human intervention except for click of a button.

My queries, will WDA support these features, as it does it in standard Dynpro, Is there any specific coding beside the interface for weigh scale is required.

Hi Rohit,

as far as i know,but i'm really not sure in this case,there are only WD BarCode Reader API's available for Web Dynpro Java.

These and also the RFID API's are part or the mobile Add on libary and WDA isn't supported fr mobile devices up to now.

But you have a possiblility to use a virtual keystroke(simulating a keyboaurd during the scan) if your barcode vendor shippes a PC software for that. The value is then transfered into the focused WDA Input Field as if it is typed manually. For that have a look into this thread:

In standard SAP GUI, without any third party applications, with a simple barcode reader we can read the values into an input field.

Here also I am looking for the same functionality, I don't need to perform any functions, just want to read the values.

Secondly we want to capature the weights directly from the weigh scales connected to PCS via RS232 cable.

Hi,

do you mean functionality related to Records and Case Management (ArchiveLink)? Then see SAP note 1013193
