Intermec CN3 - Carriage Return after scan

On the Intermec CN3, we were having an issue where you had to press "enter" after scanning an item.

This can be resolved by setting a postamble carriage return symbol on the scanner.
To do this go to

Start>Settings>System>Intermec Settings
Expand Data Collection
Expand Internal Scanner
Expand Symbology Options
Select Postamble
Enter \r

When using the Accellos system, to read combined barcodes correctly, use
\x0A as your postamble.

Dynamics GP SSRS Sharepoint Integrated Mode

The issue:
SQL Server = SQL
Sharepoint Server = Sharepoint
Reporting Services Server = RS
GP Server = GP

We need to install Reporting Services in Sharepoint Integrated mode so that the reports are displayed through sharepoint, but each software is installed in a different server.

Solution:
Ensure that you can access Reporting Services Manager from Sharepoint Server
Create a library to store the reports. I created GPReports as my empty library.
Install Dynamics GP Shared components and GP Client on Sharepoint, and deploy reports from there
(you can uninstall after the deploy)
Sharepoint Site = http:\\Sharepoint\
Library = GPReports

Deploy.
You will get the "The deployment has exceeded the maximum request length allowed by the target server" error

Go to 
c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\(SRS Instance)\Reporting Services\ReportServer\web.config 

Find
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="9000" />
Change it to (<httpRuntime executionTimeout="9000" maxRequestLength="20960"/>).

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954242
It has a list of common issues and solutions regarding SSRS

Installing SSRS 2008 on a Cluster

Example:
Cluster Name\Instance = Cluster\A
Nodes = N1, N2
Other Server = O1

Do not install SSRS on Cluster\A
Use SQL Enterprise

Native Mode Install on Cluster - Single SSRS Server
- Install the SSRS on O1

Native Mode Install on Cluster - Scaled Out with NLB (allows multiple SSRS instances to work together to process reports)
- To do a scaled-out deployment that uses Network Load Balancing, you must install on N1
- Run the SSRS config and install the reporting database on Cluster\A to have the database benefit from clustering
- Now install on N2 and point to the reporting database on Cluster\A

Sharepoint Integrated Mode - ANY
- The machine you install SSRS on must have a Sharepoint product installed on it as well for it to communicate with your sharepoint farm.
- Once installed, go to sharepoint, then add Report Server add-in, point to SSRS instance
