Barcoder
Barcoder runs on the barcode device. Barcoder helps you perform a physical
inventory of all assets, add information to an asset, and add new assets to your
database.
A host computer can be used to synchronize data with barcode devices,
although wireless features eliminate the need for a host computer. In many
cases, the host computer is connected to a cradle, into which the barcode device
is placed for synchronization.
How Barcode Solution works
The Barcode Solution elements are installed on and work with Notification Server.
They include reports and code to create output files for the Barcode Manager.
The number of features and details available to you depend on the rights of your
profile. Profiles are created and are modified in the Symantec Management Console
, and you must use your Symantec Management Console credentials when
operating a barcode device.
From the barcode device, you specify what asset data to import from Notification
Server Database. You can filter the data that you import according to any
combination of cost center, location, and status. After the first initial download,
on subsequent synchronizations only the new or the changed data is uploaded.
Limiting this data improves the performance on the barcode device.
After the data is downloaded to the barcode devices, the barcode devices are ready
to scan bar-codes. Barcoder can help you to perform a physical inventory of all
assets. You can add associated information to an asset, and you can add new assets
into your database.
After you collect data with the barcode device, you can upload it to the
Configuration Management Database . The data is then merged with the asset
data that is in the Configuration Management Database . Profiles determine how
data is uploaded. If a profile is set to upload automatically, then the data is
immediately entered into the database. If the profile is not configured to upload
automatically ,then it is loaded into a verification queue. The data remains pending
administrator or manager approval through the Upload Verification page in the
Symantec Management Console .
Conflicting data is resolved in the Conflict Management page in the Symantec
Management Console. You can manage and resolve conflicting data in batches,
or for individual resources.
