Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications (MSCA)
enables automated mobile user operations. This is
performed using hand held radio frequency (RF)
devices, PDAs, and lift truck mounted RF scanners.
Oracle MSCA is part of the Oracle Supply Chain
Management solution, the integrated suite that
streamlines design, planning, manufacturing and
fulfillment.

MSCA/MWA Framework
MSCA Applications flow
Function
(AOL)
Function Class
(MWA)
Page Class Listener Class
Steps in order to do a extension in MSCA
Extend the MWA Function Class and make it point to the
Extended page.
Extend the MWA Page Class.
Extend the MWA Listener Class.
Modify the Function Name in AOL to point to the New
extended Function Class name.

MSCA/MWA Framework
After we do the extension, the flow in the
application will be like

MSCA Extension Steps
Step 1: Extend the MWA Function Class
package xx.oracle.apps.inv.invtxn.server;
public class XXSubXferFunction extends OrgFunction
implements MWAAppListener
{
public XXSubXferFunction()
{
//Setting the page name to new custom page
setFirstPageName(" oracle.apps.inv.invtxn.server.XXSubXferPage" );
}
}
25
MSCA Extension Steps
Step 2: Extend the MWA Page Class
package xxmet.oracle.apps.inv.invtxn.server;
import *.*;
...
public class XXSubXferPage extends PageBean
/**
* Default constructor which just initialises the layout.
*/
public static final String RCS_ID ="$Header: XXSubXferPage.java $";
public XXSubXferPage(Session session)
{
// Method to intialize the page and To Serial number field
getToSerialFld().addListener(mFListener);
addFieldBean(getToSerialFld());
super.mToSerialFld.setHidden(false);
}
26
MSCA Extension Steps
Step 3: Extend the MWA Listener Class.
package xx.oracle.apps.inv.invtxn.server;
import *.*;
...
public class XXSubXferFListener implements MWAFieldListener
public XXSubXferFListener(Session session)
{
public void fieldEntered(MWAEvent mwaevent)
{
public void fieldExited(MWAEvent mwaevent)
{
if(s.equals("INV.TO_SERIAL"))
{
F_Serial_Num_Exited(mwaevent);
F_FromSubInv_Exited(mwaevent);
}
}

MSCA Extension Steps
Step 4: Modify the Function Name in AOL to
point to the New extended Function Class name

MWA Testing & Error Logging
Configuration Files
mwa.cfg: This file has information about the DBC file location, Log Dir Location, Telnet Port
no Location. This info will be used by Mobile Applications on runtime.
default_key.ini: This file is used to map the keys of the mobile device to some specific
functionality. Use the default file if you dont want to customize anything.
deviceIP.ini: This file maps the configuration files and host name with the mobile device
MWA Server Startup and Shutdown
mwactl.sh: This file is used to start/stop the MWA listener on specific port.
mwactl.sh start <port no> to Start the services on the Listener
mwactl.sh -login <userid/pwd> stop_force <port no> to stop the services on the Listener
File Location
$MWA_TOP/bin
$MWA_TOP/secure
$INST_TOP/admin/scripts
$INST_TOP/admin/install
In R12, INST_TOP may look like: /u01/appldev/DEV/inst/apps/DEV_w-oraap01
Log Files
The log files are located under $INST_TOP/logs
The Logging Levels are Fatal, Error, Warning, Debug & Trace
All the log files start with Telnet_port_no as a prefix
-rw-r--r-- 1 appldev dba 255626 Feb 8 13:28 10240.INV.log
Simpler way to look for logs tail -f 10240.INV.log
