Oracle Analytics Barcode Integration

Automate labeling and reporting by embedding dynamic barcodes into OAC, OAS, and BI Publisher without installing server-side fonts.

Why Use a Cloud API for Oracle Analytics?

Traditional barcode integration in **Oracle Analytics Server (OAS)** or **BI Publisher** required installing `.ttf` or `.afm` fonts on the server and local desktops. This method often fails in **Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC)** because users lack server-level access. Our Cloud API solves this by treating the barcode as a standard image, ensuring consistency across PDF, Excel, and Web outputs.

Configure the Data Model

In the **BI Publisher Data Model Editor**, create a formula column or include a URL string in your SQL. This URL dynamically points to our API endpoint.

-- SQL Example for OAC/OAS Data Model
SELECT 
    invoice_num,
    'https://www.barcodesoft.com/barcode/v1/code128?data=' || invoice_num || '&width=300&height=100' AS barcode_link
FROM 
    ra_customer_trx_all

For **shipping labels**, **invoices**, and **BOLs**, use the following method in Microsoft Word for BI Publisher:

  • Insert a placeholder image.
  • Go to Format Picture > Alt Text.
  • Enter the following code to link the field dynamically:
url:{concat('https://www.barcodesoft.com/barcode/v1/qrcode?data=', INVOICE_NUM)}

Compliance & Industry Standards

Our API supports all major symbologies required for global trade, including GS1-128, ISBT-128, Data Matrix (ISO/IEC 16022), and PDF417. This ensures your Oracle Analytics reports meet strict compliance requirements for retail, healthcare, and logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You can use the "Image View" or "Dashboard Web Tile" in OAC DV. By passing a parameter from your dataset to the image URL, the QR code or barcode updates as you filter the dashboard.

Add the &dpi=300 parameter to your API call. This ensures the generated image has the density required for professional thermal printers like Zebra or Honeywell.
