Configure a Bar code and patch code detection activity

You can configure the Bar code and patch code detection profile activity to get bar code and patch code values by mapping the “Bar codes” system property (with data type as “Data Object”) to a variable of “Data Object” type which has the “Document Bar codes” value.

1. Add an activity to the map.

   By default, the Configuration tab is open in the properties panel of the activity.

2. Change the default Name of the activity to something meaningful.
3. On the Type list, select Capture > Bar code and patch code detection.
4. On the Input document/folder list, select a document or folder variable as an input to the activity. See Create a document variable and Create a folder variable.
5. On the Bar code and patch code profile list, select an existing profile.
6. Select Rescan existing bar codes to rescan the existing bar codes. Only the bar codes available in the assigned bar code and patch code profiles are rescanned. If this check box is clear, only the missing bar code types are selected for detection. See Create a Bar code and patch code profile.
7. Select one of the following for Reject documents on exceptions.

   • Use system level setting (default): The system rejects the documents or pages or suspends the job based on the selection of the "Reject documents on exceptions" option in the System settings. For more information, see General.

   • Enabled: All the Transformation server activities reject documents or pages instead of suspending the job when an error occurs. The job continues forward to check for rejected documents and handles the documents accordingly.

   • Disabled: The system suspends the activity on exception.

8. Save or Release the process map.
