Configuring a view to open only on the success of an API

About this task

If you want Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation to open a view only when an API returns success, you must configure that specifically.

To configure a view to open only on the success of an API:

Procedure

  1. Configure an action to call an API.
    Note: You must define your action code with a certain naming convention to avoid any discrepancy with the application's default action codes. For example, the custom action code can be prefixed with a EXTN_.
  2. Configure your JSP to detect the specified attribute in the output XML of the API and store that attribute in a specified custom attribute of the HTML.
  3. On the client side, write an onLoad function that searches for the specified custom attribute and then uses the showDetailFor() JavaScript function to switch to the screen you want.
