Shortcuts on the Microsoft Windows Client

If a workflow process runs on a Microsoft Windows client, the system will first look for the HTML service mapping in the F986101 table. If the mapping does not exist, it will look at the HTML server listed in the workstation jde.ini file. If no preference is specified, the system will use the primary HTML server specified on the Work With Locations and Machines form in the Deployment Locations Application (P9654A).

You might want to run a workflow process on the Microsoft Windows client if a user is developing a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process. The workflow process contains a shortcut to a new application that resides only on the user's workstation. The user wants to test the new application before making it available to everyone, so she wants the shortcut to access the new application located on her workstation. By default, the shortcut sent by the workflow process routes users to an HTML server, not to the user's workstation. You can configure JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to route shortcuts to the user's workstation by creating a record for the workstation in the Deployment Locations Application and the Environment/Service Configuration application.
