My client awaits my return next week with bated breath and part of my fun responsibilities will be to make sure I can get nice and working bar codes on their BI Publisher Reports feeding from EBS 11i. Fortunately I won't be alone in my effort, but from previous client experiences, people had to jump through hoops and hurt themselves to get this working. I just haven't been hurt yet :) In the coming weeks I will update this posting with my findings. As always, the most helpful blog I always refer to for all things BI Publisher is Tim Dexter's Blog. Is this guy trying to win an Oracle Ace or something? :)
OK, UPDATE! We got this working. It was not the more complicated 2-D bar coding that needs nice Java classes and so forth, but I will STILL show some nice screen shots and of course refer to good blogs where I dug up the info to do this. There are HUNDREDS of people out there that need help with this so I will show as many screen shots and steps as I can without compromising my client! Tune in very soon!
OK. Have an update with details. See the post titled 'BI Publisher Barcoding in Oracle Applications 11i'

Hi Greg
ReplyDeleteI just write the blog and answer forum questions and talk to anyone and everyone about Publisher - cos I cant stop, its an affliction :o)
Whats the point of a blog or a forum if you do not contribute to it.
And I keep the blog technical for good reason - if you want to hear about 'the world according to Dexter' I can do that - you'll get bored - more bored Im sure than learning about how to add barcodes to a report output.
If it helps folks out there to use Publisher in better and more interesting ways then Im happy - sounds very 'corporate' but Im most definitely not.
Thanks for the plug!
Cheers, Tim
