M3 Graphical Lot Tracker in Infor M3 H5 Client

It is possible to access M3 Graphical Lot Tracker from Infor M3 H5 by adding a script shortcut to the shortcuts panel in any of the following supported programs:

'Balance Identity. Display' (MWS060)
'Lot/Serial Number. Open/Connect to Item' (MMS235)
'Manufacturing Order. Open' (PMS100)
'Customer Order. Open Toolbox' (OIS300)
'Purchase Order. Open' (PPS200)

For detailed instructions on how to develop and deploy script extensions in Infor M3 H5, refer to the Infor M3 H5 Development Guide.

The script to be deployed on the Infor M3 H5 application server is included in the M3 Graphical Lot Tracker installation and is called 'Show_in_GLT_H5_V1.js'. It can be found in the folder '{installation folder}\GraphicalLotTracker\M3Script\H5' on the M3 Graphical Lot Tracker application server.

Once this has been deployed and made available, scripts can either be added to the H5-client as a personalization or as a script shortcut. A script personalization can be created by one user and then deployed to many users using global or role personalization.

Scripts can also be connected to shortcuts by individual users. The Shortcuts dialog can be opened using the icon in the Shortcuts Panel in the Infor M3 H5 client.

In order to use the GLT specific H5-Script the script must be added as a script shortcut. Specify a name for the shortcut, select the 'Show_in_GLT_H5_V1' script from the dropdown list and add the following two script arguments:

The first script argument is the base (external) url of the M3 Graphical Lot Tracker site, e.g. https://glt.example.com/GraphicalLotTracker.
The second argument is dependent on the name of the trace line. If ISO profiles are used, the name of the trace line usually includes the company number and the profile name (e.g. M3TE1PRD for production and M3TE1TST for test). Because the profile concept does not exist in Infor M3 H5, the profile name must be included as a script argument. Using the above as an example, the full script argument list for the production environment would become:

https://glt.example.com/GraphicalLotTracker,PRD

Note: If M3 Graphical Lot Tracker is always accessed from within H5, or from within Ming.leTM, the configuration setting 'INTERFACE:HIDE_HEADER' can be set to 'True' to show the application top menu only, without the application header. This configuration option is only available for the theme 'M3Workspace'. Any other theme will ignore this setting.

Note: The script provided in the M3 Graphical Lot Tracker installation will only work in the following M3 programs:

'Balance Identity. Display' (MWS060)
'Lot/Serial Number. Open/Connect to Item' (MMS235)
'Manufacturing Order. Open' (PMS100)
'Customer Order. Open Toolbox' (OIS300)
'Purchase Order. Open' (PPS200)
