Barcodes are not displayed in Maximo Reports

Hi All,

I have developed a report with barcode font. It displays barcodes in BIRT. But when I deploy the same report in Maximo, it doesn't display barcodes. We have even installed the barcode font in the Maximo host server i.e unix server. We're using IDAutomation code128 fonts.

Could someone share your views ? why it's not displaying.

Suresh.

You might need to modify the org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.fonts plugin to recognize the system path with your fonts in it. Download the source from CVS, and modify the XML file for your platform, then deploy it.

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. A quick question: If I add the tag in xml file, will it display barcodes in BIRT Report Viewer when I run the report in Maximo.

But the font path is already available i.e. c:\windows\fonts. It's also available in unix server where maximo is installed, but still it doesn't pick to display.

Do I need to add a file path in the xml which starts with "\usr\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" ?

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Suresh.

I had a similar experience, has the server been rebooted?
I was developing reports for a client and the barcodes were not being displayed. They magically appeared the next day, I can only assume that the server was rebooted..
