Web Application integration to JDE

[adeel]

I have developed web application and want JDE users to run from JDE, one way is to open desired interective application and put link to it. second is to add menu item

Ideally I want to list the web application under row exit in JDE Is it possible?. If yes how?

Any other idea?

Note: i am not JDE deveoper.

Hi,

If you have a JDE standalone, you can do the following...

1. Open Solution Explorer.

2. Open Object Management Workbench (OMW in fastpath).

3. Find the application you wish to add the menu and move the desired application to any project with status 21.

4. Select the application already in the project folder and click on the design button, this will open Form Design Aid.

5. Select the appropriate form you wish to add the menu exits.

6. Then under Form menu, click on "Menu/Toolbar Exits".

7. Under appropriate menu either "Form" or "Row" exit menu, insert a menu item and set the menu properties.

Form exits - is where you put menu shortcuts to call the application that has no dependency on the main form/application.

Row exits - is where you put menu shortcuts that has dependency to the calling application (e.g. pass parameters).

8. Once created, select on that menu and click on "Event Rules".

9. Under the "Button Click" event:

10. You can use "Form Interconnect" button to create the call on the application and/or pass parameters.

Hope this helps.

Under the Button Clicked event, step 9...

Create a variable:

From the menu, choose Insert / Variables.
Click the Add button
For the alias, type in CMMDPATH then click find.
Click Next
For the scope, choose Form.
In the User Name field, change it to URL_Link
Click Ok to close Event Rules Variables

Assign the variable (Line 1 of event rules)

Click the Assignment Expression Button (X=) on the toolbar
On the left, choose frm_URL_Link
On the right, choose the (f(x)) button
Type in your URL surrounded by double qoutes:

"http://myserver/apps/myapplication"

Click Ok button to exit Expression Managar, the quotes will disappear.

Call the link (line 2 of event rules)

Click the System Function button (f(s)) on the toolbar
Doubleclick Control
Doubleclick Go to URL
On the left doubleclick frm_URL_Link
Click Ok.

Exit, save, test.

If you want the link to display as a button on the toolbar, on the menu exit properties, use the checkboxes in the Display On group.

Thanks Oliver and Magar

I did what you guys explain very clearly and worked like a charm.

We currently have AD security for our in house web application, so just wondering it would be great if form button is greyed out if user dont have jd edward security. Is it easy to implement jd edward security to custom form button? if yes how? else our AD security will work.



Thanks
