Starting the Dispatcher
Starting/Shutting down the MWA Servers and Dispatcher You can use the MWA Dispatcher to balance user load across many MWA Servers. Users connect to a single dispatcher port. The Dispatcher then re-directs each connection to one of the available servers associated with that dispatcher. Starting the MWA Servers and Dispatcher To start two MWA servers and the MWA Dispatcher complete the following procedure (at a UNIX/LINUX prompt): 1. Source the APPLYSYS.env. 2. Enter the following text: cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts 3. Enter the following text to start the server: mwactl.sh start 2310 (or any port number)
Shutting Down the Dispatcher

Enter the following text: cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts 2. Enter the following text where xxx is application user id with system administrator responsibility or a valid database user, yyy is the application user password, and 2310 is the port number of the first server. mwactl.sh-login xxx/yyy stop 2310 3. Enter the following text where xxx is application user id with system administrator responsibility, yyy is the application user password, and 2320 is the port number of the second server. 4. mwactl.sh-login xxx/yyy stop 2320 5. Enter the following text: mwactl.sh stop_dispatcher. Note: The MWA server terminates only when all mobile users are disconnected. New users cannot sign-on when the server is stopped. If you want to terminate the server while users are connected, you can use the stop_force command in place of the stop command to stop the server immediately.
Basic Responsibilites
Materials & MFG This will give you access to Inv,PO,WIP... MWA Server Manager So you have the ability to Start and stop the server Monitor the server and Configure Also You can add the following MWA Administrator MWA Telnet which can be accessed in the Mobile itself Descriptions are below The following responsibilities are seeded by default and are available for immediate use: Materials Management-This responsibility contains all the mobile transactions for processing material within Oracle Inventory. It provides transactions such as miscellaneous receipt, transact move order, and ship confirm.
Mobile Quality User -This responsibility contains the mobile user interfaces for Oracle Quality transactions. It supports transactions for entering and viewing quality collection plans.
Continued
Manufacturing Mobile Apps -This responsibility contains the mobile user interface for Oracle Manufacturing (WIP) transactions. It provides transactions such as component issues, assembly completions and job inquiries. Materials & Mfg-This is the super user responsibility for Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications. It contains all the transactions from both the Materials Management and Manufacturing Mobile Apps responsibilities. It is essentially the superset of menu options for Receiving, Inventory, Manufacturing, Picking, and Shipping. MWA Administrator- This responsibility contains two menu entries that can be used on the mobile device for Administrator purposes: Telnet Session Monitor allows you to monitor the session of another mobile user. This is useful for training and demonstration purposes. This functionality is often called mirroring. Both users must be on the same MWA server. For example if the dispatcher is being used, both users must have been routed to the same actual MWA server. Send Message allows you to send a brief text message to another mobile user. The recipient receives the message when he/she presses the next key on the mobile device. This does not disrupt the ability to process transactions. For this functionality to work, both users must be on the same MWA server.
