Sterling Warehouse Management System uses the X Window functionality to display barcodes
and dynamic graphical images (such as inventory supply & demand
graphs) in a UNIX environment.
Configure WebSphere® to
display barcodes and graphs.
About this task
The following
configuration is required to enable the X Window environment in UNIX systems for the WebSphere application server:
Procedure
- From the WebSphere Administrative
Console, go to Servers > Application Server and select the application
server specified for Sterling Warehouse Management System.
- On the Configuration tab, select Java™ and Process Management under Server Infrastructure
option.
- Select Process Definition.
- On the configuration, go to Additional Properties
and select Environment Entries.
- Select New.
- On the General Properties enter the Name
as DISPLAY and the value as IP_address_of_XWindows_server:0.0.
Do make sure that the X Window server accepts requests from this client.
- If you are using UNIX,
run the xhost+ command to remove access control for your X Window
server.
You can run X server on the same
server in which you run Sterling Warehouse Management System. However, you need to be logged to the server
console.
Restart the application
server for the DISPLAY variable to take effect.
- Save the changes to the Master Configuration.
Note: If the X Window server goes down
or crashes while the inventory user interface is using the Fusion
jar file, the WebSphere server
also goes down.
