Browser Setup for Oracle Retail Order Management System

Purpose: This topic discusses how to configure a browser for access to Oracle Retail Order Management System.

Running Multiple Sessions of Oracle Retail Order Management System

Overview: You can have more than one active Oracle Retail Order Management System session open at a time, but you need to open each Oracle Retail Order Management System session in a separate instance of the web browser.

• Select File > New Session to start a new Oracle Retail Order Management System session; or

• Create a shortcut on your desktop. You can click this shortcut to open multiple Oracle Retail Order Management System sessions.

Do not use any other methods to open another Oracle Retail Order Management System session. For example, do not select File > New Window or File > New Tab from your current session, or the sessions will share a cache and the results will be unpredictable.

Miscellaneous screen format problems: Occasionally a series of keystrokes can cause the screen format to be incorrect, or can cause your Oracle Retail Order Management System session to end unexpectedly. If this occurs, exit the web browser and log back into Oracle Retail Order Management System. If the problem continues to occur, check the Job Management screen and confirm that your previous session does not appear to be running. If the previous session is still running, this can cause your current session to retain the incorrect settings. End your previous session at the Job Management screen to correct the formatting issues.

Internet Explorer Setup

Required properties setting for Internet Explorer 9.0: The Jenasys Properties File must include an entry of XML_CONVERSION=FORCE_SERVER in order for Oracle Retail Order Management System to display correctly in Internet explorer 9.0 or higher. This entry can be anywhere in the properties file.
