BizTalk RFID event not arriving in the SQL Sink

  • Article

Hi folks,

When I was playing around with the BizTalk RFID devices last night, I discovered that events could be viewed in the RFID Manager (by right clicking the device e.g. Intermec/Intel/Motorola/etc. and clicking on 'View Tags') but the events were not appearing in the SQL Sink (rfidsink DB and the TagEvents table). Thanks to my mates, Mick & Scotty, I found out that I missed enabling a property called 'Enable Event Mode' (right click the device and go into the 'Notification' screen and check the small box of 'Enable Event Mode' which will allow event to come to the RFID sink). Watch out for this screen if you do not see events in your sink!

    Actually we were only interested in getting the TagIG, TagIDAsHex, TagData, SinkTime & LogicalDeviceName which are automatically populated in the SQLSink

    I'm having trouble to see the tag reads in the process. I can see them in device (device -> view tags), but not in process (process -> view tags). I read that I need to enable notification mode. But I just can't make it work. I'm connected to the reader via RS232 and the notification mode is enabled. Any clues or hints? Thanks.

    Have you bound the logical device to the physical device in your process? Does the status of the process say 'Started'? I'd suggest follow these steps and make the logging verbose to debug: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb746416.aspx
