Deep Dive Into Quistor Mobile Apps

Some months ago, we presented you some of our Android apps available in the Google Play Store.

The main goal of these apps is to allow our customers to perform daily tasks from their phones instead of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environment.

So, I would like to take a deep look inside the features that we provide with them and give you a tour of the implemented tasks and the covered use cases.

The five apps share the same login and setting screens, which allows the user to specify their own AIS Server configuration.

Item Availability App

As you may know, using the V41021E view, EnterpriseOne allow us to manage and locate item stocks.

But imagine now that you are on your way back home and a customer calls you in a hurry to get more items for a transaction. You don’t have access to EnterpriseOne. Fortunately, the Item Availability app is installed on your phone! Now you can easily check the availability of the required item and offer the customer a fast solution.

With this app, you can lookup item numbers or description texts or even filter items by availability or a specific location.

PREREQUISITES

  • JDE Application Interface Services (AIS) accessible from your mobile network.
  • Apps release: 9.2 or higher.
  • Tools release: 9.2.1 or higher.
  • Android Marshmallow or higher.

Watchlists App

When JDE 9.1 was released, the “Watchlists” new feature arrived. Watchlists enables users to define information to which they would like to be alerted using queries to define the criteria.

Imagine now that you are going to take a plane. You are at the boarding gate and, of course, you have no access to your laptop. The limits on your watchlists could be reached right at that moment, and you won’t know it until the next 2 or 3 hours.

However, thanks to the Watchlists app, you can get notified wherever you are and take any actions needed.

You can receive native notifications for critical watchlists, filter them by status and if you have several watchlists to check, you can search for specific ones.

PREREQUISITES

  • JDE Application Interface Services (AIS) accessible from your mobile network.
  • Apps release: 9.2 or higher.
  • Tools release: 9.2.1 or higher.
  • Android Marshmallow or higher.

Purchase Order Approvals App

With JDE Purchase Order Approvals, your company can track all purchases and eliminate any unauthorized ones.

Back to the train; imagine now that one of your employees calls you and needs you to approve one of his purchase as soon as possible.

With the Purchase Order Approvals app, you can review all the purchase orders awaiting your approval.

Download and check the attachments on the purchase order.

Write a general rejection reason or a detailed one in each of the items from the purchase order, and of course, approve or reject them.

PREREQUISITES

  • JDE Application Interface Services (AIS) accessible from your mobile network.
  • Apps release: 9.2 or higher.
  • Tools release: 9.2.1 or higher.
  • Android Marshmallow or higher.

Orchestrator Server Monitoring App

JDE Orchestrator Monitor enables you to perform health checks of your Orchestrator environment and display exception information.

An orchestration exception means that something went wrong while an orchestration was running. The exception contains useful information to identify the error and fix it.

EnterpriseOne has a specific application to check the list of the latest exceptions that have occurred.

In this case, imagine that you are having a day off, but the technical IT staff on shift doesn’t know how to fix a particular error.

With the Orchestration Server Monitoring app you can have a quick look at the 100 last exceptions that have occurred, grouped by type, and easily find the one that is causing headaches for employees on shift. Read the detailed information and give good advice on how to solve the exceptions.

Even more, you can run health checks on Orchestration and notification UDOs and create related reports.

PREREQUISITES

  • JDE Application Interface Services (AIS) accessible from your mobile network.
  • JDE Orchestrator Monitor.
  • JDE Server Manager.
  • Orchestrator health and exception tracking in JDE Server Manager enabled.
  • Apps release: 9.2 or higher.
  • Tools release: 9.2.3 or higher.
  • Android Marshmallow or higher.

Server Manager App

JDE Server Manager is a tool for system administrators to view and manage all the EnterpriseOne servers and environments.

Imagine that you are out of the office, and notice that a certain instance is almost running out of memory. This could cause several issues but can be prevented by an earlier restart.

The Server Manager app lets you have a quick look at the available instances and component information, see technical metrics of the instances and run health checks to know when an instance was executed, and if it’s running or not.

PREREQUISITES

  • JDE Server Manager accessible from your mobile network.
  • Apps release: 9.2 or higher.
  • Tools release: 9.2.1.2 or higher.
  • Android Marshmallow or higher.
