We have it integrated with AX4 using ActiveX We purchased the enterprise version of Bartender which is licensed by the # of printers used on a single day, not users. Each workstation that needs to print labels has Bartender installed.
There are label templates setup in AX. The template setup reads the share names used in Bartender via an import from Bartender when the template is created. >From several forms in AX there are Print Label buttons. The class in AX sends >all the share named information to Bartender when the button is selected. For >things that need to be entered at the time the label is printed BarTender will >ask for like Qty in Boxes or how many boxes. The pop up is suppressed if no >user information is needed. It works well. Everyone is happy with the process. It knows what templates can be selected based on Customer and or Item and what printers are usable for the label type. There are numerous ways to use Bartender but this is the approach we used which turned out well for us. -----Original Message----- From: development-axapta@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Ax Dev Sent: Sat 4/3/2010 1:18 PM To: development-axapta@yahoogroups.com Subject: [development-axapta] Bartender integration Hi Guys, Can you please share your experience of integrating bartender with Dynamics AX using XML? The transport mechanism can be TCP/IP. How to achieve it in AX? The requirement is print label files immediately, hence can't rely on AIF queue as there is no prioritization concept. Thanks! -PS [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
