Setting Up Quick Links for Pervasive Device Support

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne offers support for Pervasive Devices. Developers can write custom applications for PocketPC 2003 devices using the EnterpriseOne toolset. However, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne menus are not supported on Pervasive Device clients, so a new XML file (PervasiveAppQuickLinks.xml) was added to the HTML Server that allows a system administrator define the list of applications that can be executed on the Pervasive Device client. This file can be edited to add, modify, or delete JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications that are accessible to Pervasive Device clients. Each application listed in this file is defined by a quick-link tag that describes the application, form, and version of the object, and includes a description. A sample quick-link tag is shown below:

<quick-links>

<quick-link launchAction="launchForm"
                  appID="P0411"
                  formID="W0411G"
                  version="ZJDE0001"
                  description="3 G0411 - Standard Voucher Entry 
                  (P0411_W0411G_ZJDE0001)"/>

</quick-links>

Quick-link tags can include the following attributes:

launchAction

Valid values are:

  • APP

  • UBE

formID

Number of the specific form within the application.

Version number of the form.

description

Description of the form. This description appears in the list displayed on the Pervasive Device client.

To edit the PervasiveAppQuickLinks.xml file

  1. On the HTML Server, navigate to this directory: <JAS_Home>/installedApps/<node_name>/EA_JS_81.ear/webclient.war/classes.

    Open the PervasiveAppQuickLinks.xml file in a text editor.

  2. Add quick-link tags for each of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications you want to make accessible to Pervasive Devices.

    You can also delete or modify existing tags to remove or change the forms that Pervasive Device clients can access. When clients access JD Edwards EnterpriseOne from a Pervasive Device, the forms are listed as links in the same order they appear in the PervasiveAppQuickLinks.xml file.

Save and exit the file.

Below is an example of the PervasiveAppQuickLinks.xml file:
