Note:
Parameterized URL processing is only available when using JD Edwards World A9.2 or above.Parameterized URL is the functional process that allows external systems to launch a native JD Edwards World application through the use of a simple URL. The functionality provides an external system a near seamless user interface integration with most JD Edwards World applications.
The Parameterized URL process simulates an interactive web user interface with JD Edwards World applications (similar to the way modern applications communicate through the use of a URL) using the LegaSuite GUI (formerly J Walk) Web Enablement product.
An interactive request initiates a Web Enablement session within JD Edwards World and then allows users to interact with the results and/or proceed to other JD Edwards World applications.
There are two options for access to JD Edwards World using Parameterized URL:
Option one does not use Session Resume, the system requires users to signon every time when a Web Enablement session is initiated (each time a parameterized URL is executed)
Option two utilizes Session Resume. Session Resume parks a session when the browser window is closed, then when JD Edwards World is accessed again, the system reuses the current active session and returns the user to the previous panel. A timer is set to keep the current Web Enablement session active. A parameterized URL call can reuse an active session, so the user does not have to sign in each time a call to JD Edwards World is issued
Users can initiate access to a JD Edwards World application using custom web links. These web links are set up by an administrator using the instructions in Appendix P - Parameterized URL in the JD Edwards World A9.3 Web Enablement Installation and Configuration Guide.
When you select the custom web link, the system opens a custom tab or new browser window, depending on the setup of the web link, to display the JD Edwards World application.
If Session Resume is used, upon the first invocation of a JD Edwards World application, users are required to sign in to a valid JD Edwards World environment. When you exit the customer tab or browser window, the user's session is parked. Upon subsequent invocations, the Session Resume feature of Web Enablement is used, therefore, no additional sign in is required.
The fields for the requested application are preloaded, based on the data passed through the URL. Users have access to all the features in this application, just as if the users had accessed the application directly from the JD Edwards World system.
