Technical Implementation Of Online Field Order Image

Users can view an image of any field order if you setup the following:

• Plug-in an Online Field Order Image construction algorithm on the Installation Record.
• Plug-in the appropriate extract algorithm on each dispatch group.

The system provides algorithms that interact with print software that renders an image of the field order in a PDF. The following points describe what takes place when clicking Display Field Order when these sample algorithms are used.

• The sample Online Field Order Image algorithm C1-FO-DISP is executed.
• This algorithm calls the field order's dispatch group's extract algorithm. The sample field order extract algorithm C1-FOEX-OX constructs the information that's merged onto the field order and returns it to the Online Field Order Image algorithm. This algorithm, in turn, passes it to your field order print software.

• Your field order print software renders an image of the field order in a PDF and returns it to the Online Field Order Image algorithm. Note that the client must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed to view PDF files.
• And finally, the Online Field Order Image algorithm displays the PDF in a separate Adobe session.

The system provides an algorithm that interacts with BI Publisher to render an online image of your field order. The following points describe what takes place when clicking Display Field Order when these sample algorithms are used.

• The sample Online Field Order Image algorithm C1-ONFD-CR is executed.
• This algorithm calls the field order's dispatch group's extract algorithm. The sample field order extract algorithm C1-FOEX-CR is supplied for displaying field orders via BI Publisher. This is not actually extracting data because when you use BI Publisher reports, the report itself is responsible for extracting and formatting the data. The base product algorithm supplied returns the appropriate report code to the Online Field Order Image algorithm, which in turn returns the report code to the field order page.
• A user exit on the field order page invokes BI Publisher and displays the field order in a separate browser session.
