Working with the EPCglobal company prefix index

This section contains information about managing the EPCglobal Company Prefix Index that is used to map or translate an EAN.UCC company prefix to an index value when printing 64-bit tags. Use the WebSphere® Premises Server Administrative Console to manage the company prefix index.

EPCglobal maintains a database of these index translations, and updates them periodically. To retrieve the latest company index translations, click Refresh on the EPCglobal Company Prefix Index Translations panel.

When you add new company prefixes to the index, you are only adding them to a copy of the index on your local database. Therefore, when you modify the EAN.UCC Company Prefix field or delete a company prefix from the index, only the index on your local database is updated.

CAUTION:
Be careful when refreshing this index. If you add an index value and company prefix to this table to ship 64-bit tags and that index value and company prefix has not been assigned to you through EPCglobal, clicking refresh could overwrite your company prefix with the EPCglobal company prefix associated with that index value.
