Hi Steve,
We did our tests this morning. The source socket connection settings are below:
I also attached a small log (FScan_Gi.txt) around one scan, where the alert is being raised, and the message is being sent to the destination system dummy transaction which only writes the file in the MII Web space (i.e. FS_msg_03.xml)
My take on the multiple streams is that the scanner we used is a fixed industrial type one. The label being scanned contains multiple barcodes and the scanner scans all of them at once, delimiting the message with some CONTROL CHARACTERS, giving some headaches going forward.
If I define an XML query and read the message saves "as is" by the dummy transaction above, I get a nice, but firm message :
which comes from the control characters inserted by the scanner between the barcodes. PCo transmits the message as is, MII saves it as is, but when I try to open and process it .. I can't. Opening it in a transaction in workbench using the text-loader gives me a "prolog" error
Funny. I feel like I get the best out of it sometimes
Definitely I have to get rid of those control characters .. even by truncating the message. There are three barcodes being scanned, I presently need only the last one .. so my question is .. Can I use the expression editor and look for the message content after the "~" sign in the string over there (see FS_msg_03.xml) with something like stringpart('Fscan_GI', ~-location, length-of-the-string-after-~) I code below ?
I have to wait again for the scanner to be available next Tue and test this without copy-pasting the content in the Value box above, but are you envisioning any possible "prolog" errors in the PCo log this time?
Cheers,
Paul.
