Retail applications can expose select task flows that you can directly launch. This feature is referred to as an in-context launch in a Retail application. You can launch these task flows directly through specific URLs. Retail applications provide information about the various task flows that you can in-context launch into including the URLs and the required parameters.You can use these URLs in other Web pages as links. For example, the URL to a task flow that invokes the Create Allocation Flow in a Retail application can be added as a link to dashboard report on a BI server. Since access to the task flows are initiated via URL links, the Retail application, with the requested task flow opened in a UI Shell local area, is shown in a new browser instance of either a window or a tab.
This section provides details on how the Allocation application is functionally integrated with other systems (including other Oracle Retail systems). The discussion primarily concerns the flow of allocation-related business data across the enterprise.
The In-Context launch feature does not detect if there is a window or tab already open for the Retail application. If you click on a link to a Retail application's task flow, like a report on the BI server, a new browser window or tab opens even though you already have an existing browser window or tab open for that same Retail application.
If a BI dashboard is added to the Retail application, and if that dashboard has a report that contains links to an in-context launch task flow in the same Retail application, a new browser window or tab will still be opened.
