Starting the Dispatcher

• Starting/Shutting down the MWA Servers and Dispatcher

• You can use the MWA Dispatcher to balance user load across many MWA Servers.

• Users connect to a single dispatcher port. The Dispatcher then re-directs each

• connection to one of the available servers associated with that dispatcher.

• Starting the MWA Servers and Dispatcher

• To start two MWA servers and the MWA Dispatcher complete the following procedure

• (at a UNIX/LINUX prompt):

• 1. Source the APPLYSYS.env.

• 2. Enter the following text:

• cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts

• 3. Enter the following text to start the server:

• mwactl.sh start 2310 (or any port number)

Shutting Down the Dispatcher

• To shutdown the MWA servers and the MWA Dispatcher complete the following

• procedure (at a UNIX/LINUX prompt):

• Source the APPLYSYS.env.

• 1. Enter the following text:

• cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts

• 2. Enter the following text where xxx is application user id with system administrator

• responsibility or a valid database user, yyy is the application user password, and

• 2310 is the port number of the first server.

• mwactl.sh-login xxx/yyy stop 2310

• 3. Enter the following text where xxx is application user id with system administrator

• the second server.

• 4. mwactl.sh-login xxx/yyy stop 2320

• 5. Enter the following text:

• mwactl.sh stop_dispatcher.

• Note: The MWA server terminates only when all mobile users are

• disconnected. New users cannot sign-on when the server is

• stopped. If you want to terminate the server while users are

• connected, you can use the stop_force command in place of the

• stop command to stop the server immediately.

Basic Responsibilites

• Materials & MFG

• This will give you access to Inv,PO,WIP...

• MWA Server Manager

• So you have the ability to

• Start and stop the server

• Monitor the server

• and Configure

• Also You can add the following

• MWA Administrator

• MWA Telnet

• which can be accessed in the Mobile itself

• Descriptions are below

• The following responsibilities are seeded by default and are available for immediate

• use:

• • Materials Management-This responsibility contains all the mobile transactions for

• processing material within Oracle Inventory. It provides transactions such as

• miscellaneous receipt, transact move order, and ship confirm.

• • Mobile Quality User -This responsibility contains the mobile user interfaces for

• Oracle Quality transactions. It supports transactions for entering and viewing

• quality collection plans.

Continued

• • Manufacturing Mobile Apps -This responsibility contains the mobile user interface

• for Oracle Manufacturing (WIP) transactions. It provides transactions such as

• component issues, assembly completions and job inquiries.

• • Materials & Mfg-This is the super user responsibility for Oracle Mobile Supply

• Chain Applications. It contains all the transactions from both the Materials

• Management and Manufacturing Mobile Apps responsibilities. It is essentially the

• superset of menu options for Receiving, Inventory, Manufacturing, Picking, and

• Shipping.

• • MWA Administrator- This responsibility contains two menu entries that can be

• used on the mobile device for Administrator purposes:

• • Telnet Session Monitor allows you to monitor the session of another mobile

• user. This is useful for training and demonstration purposes. This functionality

• is often called mirroring. Both users must be on the same MWA server. For

• example if the dispatcher is being used, both users must have been routed to

• the same actual MWA server.

• • Send Message allows you to send a brief text message to another mobile user.

• The recipient receives the message when he/she presses the next key on the

• mobile device. This does not disrupt the ability to process transactions. For this

• functionality to work, both users must be on the same MWA server.
