Legacy platform

Application Console

The Application Console is an HTML-based interface. Microsoft Internet Explorer is used to render the screens of the Application Console.

Customization
You can create or customize the screens of Application Console.
HTML compression
You should consider HTML compression if you have users who are connected to Sterling™ Order Management System Software over high latency or low bandwidth network links.
Temporary internet files
You can reduce the number of hits against the application servers for static content by enabling temporary Internet file cache in Microsoft Internet Explorer. This improves your UI response times.
SSL acceleration
If you have many users and are planning on encrypting the Sterling Order Management System Software screens with SSL, you should consider the use of off-board hardware-based SSL accelerators.
Search screens
Some search combinations are more expensive than others. The application provides a flexible search facility that allows you to search for orders, shipments, and audit records with a wide range of criteria.
JSP precompilation
Precompiling the JSPs when you "build" the application is very important for user interface response times. If the JSPs are not precompiled, the application servers compile the JSP on-the-fly the first time it is used.
HTML limitations
Extremely large orders might take longer to load due to the limitations of HTML.
