IWMS Web Browser
IWMS contains settings that allow you to configure how information is displayed within the IWMS applications and on your IWMS website.
Control User File Maintenance (NAV 5) - The Web Control Panel (option “Y”) contains two settings that influence the IWMS website: Restrict This Work Station To DFT Warehouse and Print Packing Lists on.
Operator File Maintenance (WM2 3) - Use this program to establish operators in the IWMS system and to grant or deny access to specific functions such as picking or receiving.
Note: The WM8 - IWMS System Utilities Menu should be assigned to an authority class for system administrators. Authority classes allow you to pick and choose options which are available to specific groups of users (i.e. system administrators). This helps to secure these settings. For more information on Authority Classes, refer to Chapter 13 in the System Administration manual.
This setting ensures that operators are still assigned their specific WS IDs even when they TELNET into the system. TELNET uses the concept of a pool of available WS IDs assigned dynamically by the system at the time of session connection, on a first-come-first-served basis.
On an application software level, the system relies on settings assigned to two-character WS IDs. These are called WS control panels. Since TELNET does not associate users with specific WS IDs, the application software needs to do so. To do this, we have developed a cross-reference file called TNSSN, which contains entries that make the association between each user and the WS control panel ID containing the user’s settings (referred to as the “source” WS control panel). When a user signs onto a TELNET session, the WS control panel settings for whatever WS the user is currently signed on to are overwritten with that user’s source WS control panel settings (as per the TNSSN cross-reference file).
Here are the configuration steps required to implement TELNET session support:
1. A source WS control panel must be set up for each user accessing the system via TELNET. Note: The WS control panels do not necessarily need to correspond to actual workstations - in most cases they will not. To set them up, enter “CONTROL xx”, where xx is the source WS control panel ID.
2. A TNSSN entry must be made to associate each user to each source WS control panel ID. To set them up, use option SET 306 - Maintain TNSSN File (Telnet).
3. Each of these users must have their user profile’s initial program set to DODOPEN2. Enter “CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(xxxxxxxx) INLPGM(US/ DODOPEN2)”, where xxxxxxxx is the user profile name. You must be a system security officer to do this.
For example, user “JOHNNY” is accessing the system via TELNET. A WS control panel setting is set up for WS ID “JM” (his source WS control panel). A TNSSN entry is set up associating “JOHNNY” to the source WS control panel “JM”. The initial program for user profile “JOHNNY” is set to “US/DODOPEN2”. If “JOHNNY” signs on and is assigned to WS session “X1” by the system, then the DODOPEN2 initial program accesses his TNSSN entry. It then retrieves the “JM” WS control panel settings, and sets the “X1” WS control panel to the same as those in “JM”. All subsequent functions now use the correct settings in the “X1” WS control panel.
Option "U" contains settings specific to a user.

The Dockdoor Search Mode can either be by actual shipping date (ship date) or the date the material was picked/or needs to be picked (production date). This setting ties into the Dock Door tab of the IWMS website.
Configure Door Bar Graph Settings - WM8 101
Option 101 - Configure Door Bar Graph Settings lets you customize the dock door graphs to better suit your needs. For example, you can change the title of the graph’s bars or the status codes that are used to collect the information.
1. When option 101 - Configure Door Bar Graph Settings is selected, the screen that appears shows the current graph settings.
Note: The graph settings that appear are based on the warehouse selected in the users control panel. To change the warehouse, press F2.
The following figure shows an example graph that uses the descriptions shown above.
2. You can change the description by entering a U in the appropriate Opt column and pressing Enter.
|
3. Change the Description and Extended Description as needed.
4. To change the status codes used to collect the information, enter an S into the Opt field.
5. Use this screen to add or delete status codes.
Note: To display a listing of status codes, insert a “?” in one of the fields and press Enter.
Work with Web drop-down fields - WM8 102
This option, WM8 102, allows you to select/edit the information you want to include in the web based portion of IWMS. The three areas that can be controlled are:
Task Queue Manager
Task History
Task History Summary
Note: If you have the web-based portion of IWMS running while making changes in any of these options, you must close and then restart the web browser to see your changes.
1. When this option is selected, the following screen appears.
|
Note: Task Queue Manager and Task History Summary use the selections to define a search whereas the Task History uses the allowed fields as filters.
2. Select one of the options. The following screen appears if Task History was selected.
|
3. Select the fields you want to include as filters in the Task History portion of the web site or as selection criteria for the Task Queue and Task History Summary tabs.
4. The Dsp Seq (display sequence) controls the order of the selected options. The field description with the lowest display sequence appears at the top of the drop down list.
5. The Overriding Description is the title assigned to the field and displays on the website. If this field is left blank, the Field Description is used.
Note: To display only the selected fields, press F10.
The portion of the Task History Tab that is affected by these settings is shown below.
