as you have mentioned WDA is not supported for mobile devices like Windows CE. So there is also at the moment no possibility to use mobile RFID/Barcode from WDA. For integrating RFID/barcodes into SAP applications you have to use the mobile development infrastructure.For a online solution you can use a mobile WDJ application with the mobile add-on libary for RFID and Barcode scanning.
If you want to scan via offline Application you can use the Mobile Infrastructure and the periphal driver framework for RFID or barcode scanners.For an introduction on peripheral support in MI, check Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/nw-mobile > Mobile Infrastructure > Mobile Infrastructure in Detail > Device Driver Framework. Expecially for Psion Teklogix( Netpad) i know that there is a MRI realized for Mobile Asset Management. Perhaps have a look at this thread for this:
But you can't integrate this MRI in a WDA application.
Another alternative is using sapconsole(GUI screens).For that please refer to the mobile or RFID forum.
the problem is that there is no other way than WDA.
I think of a workaround, like reading the RFID-tag into a string (inputfield) and then processing the input with an action-button.
The barcode-scanner works already: the read barcode appears in the input-field and can be processed. The only thing thats not so good is that i cannot use an eventhandling on scanning, but thats no real problem.
perhaps has anyone an idea on that workaround for getting the RFID-Data?
perhaps you can do your "backdoor"-barcode solution also for RFID.
For example Socketcom delivers a Software with their Compact-Flash RFID Reader for Pocket PC which reads the tag and puts the information in an input field.(its something like simulating a keyboard during the scan). I can't describe it better because socketcom webside is down at the moment and i only noticed this some month ago on their homepage. Here is the link to socket's webpage.Perhaps you have more luck: http://www.socketcom.com/product/datacollection/plugin/series6/
But you will still have the problem that you can not use an eventhandling on RFID Scan and you have to set the focus in the input field manually. Did your WDA application work on a Windows CE system with Pocket IE? I tested it without having success...Or have to choosen a Psion devices with an full windows OS(like Tablet PC)?
please let me know if your "backdoor"-solution is working.RFID with WDA sounds very interesting- Also that WDA is working on WIN CE 4.2 is good to know. Thx!! I will try to render WDA on windows mobile 2003 PIE also via backdoor by
installing IETOOLS from microsoft webside to my Pocket IE to enable the missing JScript. Hope WDA will work than on my mobile devices;-)
Socketscom side is online now: Here is the direkt link too the data sheet and the Socketcom-Scan software:
