Enable Binding in IBM Sterling WMS

Enable Binding in IBM Sterling WMS

In IBM Sterling WMS, we have option to create new Action buttons to perform some customized process.  Sometimes, we have to decide Active or Inactive Action button based on some protocols.

Below example, clearly shows about how to make it with some realtime scenario using Inbound Shipment Console -> Detail View.

Step #1: Adding a new Action button with Description as Custom Print.  

Important thing is enable binding added into the Action button i.e, xml:/Shipment/@ActiveCustomPrint.

Also, Give permission to the Action button and REFRESH entity accordingly.

Step #2: Add code logic to Enable or Disable the Action button in ANCHOR JSP page.  

        if( "XYZ".equals(enterpriseCode) ){
shipElem.setAttribute("ActiveCustomPrint", true);
} else{
shipElem.setAttribute("ActiveCustomPrint", false);
}

Usually in Inbound Shipment Console, Anchor page shipElem have to scope as per below in the top of the anchor JSP. It is because of getShipmentDetails API called on Page Load.

YFCElement shipElem = (YFCElement) request.getAttribute("Shipment");

Step #3: Action button Enable / Disable in Screen based on success of Condition in Anchor page.
