Screen Pop

Hello All,

Is it technically possible to do a screen pop from a third party application
into OneWorld. Fundamentally, there are 2 requirements:

1. Ability for Windows based application to call a OneWorld program

2. Ability for the Windows based application to pass data into a OneWorld
screen

For example, a user would start in Siebel and enter customer information.
They would then press a button in Siebel, which would call JDE Sales Order
Entry. The Siebel application would pass the customer number into the header
portion of Sales Order, where the user could then continue adding detail
lines.

Thanks!

Yes you can do this via the CTI interface.
We had some C programmers create a COM 'snap-in' that will cause a OW screen to pop up.
We happen to use this to get a telephone caller's phone number from our PABX and pass it to OW which gets the caller's info. from our database then pops up a screen showing the details even before the call is answered. We can then press an OW button and cause the telephone to be answered.
You could however (and we are working on it) us the same method to cause a OW window to pop up after a call from any external app. and display info passed in.
