| Full Abstract: | Bar code output from the Oracle® environment is traditionally accomplished through third-party software. However, Oracle's Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Mobile Supply Chain Applications (MSCA) offer a new approach that can simplify bar code label printing. Oracle WMS and MSCA produce output in XML data streams, instead of a proprietary Oracle format. Zebra Technologies has embedded an XML parser in its XML-enabled XiIIIPlus printers, so output from Oracle WMS and MSCA is natively understood by the printer without additional middleware or server hardware. This white paper describes the middleware and direct-connect bar code printing options for Oracle WMS and MSCA, explains the system requirements for each, and provides guidance as to when each approach is best suited to particular environments.and provides guidance as to when each approach is best suited to particular environments. | |
