Solved

Hi,

I have about 100 Zebra devices and need to activate one symbology on all of them.

Is there any way I can do this with SOTI or I need to remote access all the devices and activate manually?

Can you try to explain a bit better what you want to acchieve (maybe i'm just not getting it)?

If it's keyboard related (as i would understand it right now) ever tried Zebra Enterprise Keyboard (EKB)? There are a lot of things you can set up.

Hi Rafael,

These devices use one aplication with keyboad emulation.

I need to activate one symbology(Intervaled 2 of 5) in device config.

Hi,

Easiest way is to sync the datawedge.db to your devices via File Sync.

High level overview:

  1. Manually configure one device with the DataWedge settings that you need. Note that different applications use different DataWedge Profiles so be sure that you are modifying the right profile that maps to your intended application. If you modify the DataWedge Profile for DWDemo for example you will only impact the scanning behavior within that app and not other apps. 
  2. Test the settings in the business application(s) to confirm its working as desired. 
  3. Export the datawedge.db file containing all of the DataWedge settings for the given device.
  4. Extract the datawedge.db file from the sample device. This can be done using SOTI Remote Control. It is a little bit tricky on A11+ as Android has restricted access to the scoped storage directories, including where DataWedge (frustratingly) still exports. If you have an A11+ device you can work around this limitation by opening the Files app within the Remote Control session on the device. Manually navigate to the DataWedge scoped storage directory using your arrow and enter keys on your keyboard and then copy the file to the Download directory. Once copied you can download it from the file explorer view of Remote Control. You can also extract over ADB if you are familiar and comfortable with ADB and have physical access to your sample device.
  5. Build a Package that delivers the datawedge.db file to: 
    /enterprise/device/settings/datawedge/autoimport/
  6. Add the following post install script 
    __chmod 777 /enterprise/device/settings/datawedge/autoimport/datawedge.db
    
  7. Assign the Package to your devices.
