SAP agentry client for WinCE installation error

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am trying to install SAP agentry client for Win CE (Agentry_7.0.10.0_ClientWinCE). I've selected the option Scanners -> Intermec RFID Scanner (as we are using Intermec CN71 Handheld device along with IP30 RFID scanner). I got the success message after installing the client on Handheld Device

However, while opening the client on handheld device, I am getting error (see attached screenshot) and unable to launch the application

Error details -

File or assembly name 'Intermec.DataCollection.RFIDAdvancedBRI.CF2, Version=4.2.0.1619, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ABCDXX... or one of its dependencies was not found (see screenshot)

The application failed to load required components. If the .NET compact Framework is installed on a storage card, please ensure that this card is in place and launch the application again. If this fails, re installation of dotnet compact framework is recommended (see screenshot)

Am I doing something wrong over here (or which option should I select)

In looking through some old stuff it looks we are not shipping with the Intermec DLLs for the scanning and assuming they are on the device now. Please check if you have the following DLLs available on your device

• intermec.datacollection.rfid.advancedbri.cf2.dll
• intermec.datacollection.rfid.basicbri.cf2.dll

These should be placed in the Agentry client folder on the device.

See if that helps.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for reply.

I added these two DLL files and it worked. Now, I can read the RFID tag information with IP30 attachment

The drivers for the WinCE client scanners are very specific to the device / scanner combo. A lot of the older motorola /symbol devices used the same API interface so one build could work across multiple devices. Some other devices were very unique to that device. Not necessarily only for a built in scanner. It was all based on the vendor provided APIs.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for reply. I've another question. Handheld device CN71 does not have in built scanner. IP30 is RFID scanner which can be used as attachment for CN71

The option Barcode / RFID scanner during installation is only for in built scanner?

Or it doesn't matter if it is in built scanner or an attachment?

What matters is what was the intent of that option when it was built. If we created it using the SDK/API for the built it or used an SDK/API for an external scanner. I recall at one time using a bluetooth RFID scanner with an intermec device but that was a long time ago so I don't recall exact models.

I would guess that the RFID scanner support that was included is based on either a different RFID scanner hardware or a different version of the associated drivers. The error is indicating that one of the assemblies assumed to be on the device is missing.
