About this task
Sterling Order Management System Software uses the X Window functionality to display barcodes
and dynamic graphical images (such as inventory supply & demand
graphs) in a UNIX environment.
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 Order Management System Software .
- 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 Order Management System Software . 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.
