Device Control Protocol

[Former Member]

Hi,

Does any body knows, which protocol will be used by the SAP AII system to integrate with the 3rd party Device controller middleware. What XML payload will be send from the reader (Device) management to the Auto-ID ? How we can simulate the connection between the reader and Auto-ID.

Regards,

Hi Velu,

The protocol used is PML (physichal markup language) is a standard convention XML for logistics.

You can see more in this thread

http://www.epcglobalinc.org/standards_technology/Secure/v1.0/PML_Core_Specification_v1.0.pdf

To simulate reads we began making a little executable (with Visual Basic, Delphi, C) that sent via HTTP one token in PML to the port and the path where Auto Id listens -> /sap/scm/AIN.

Hope this helps.
