Question & Answer
Question
How do you enable the Extensibility workbench for extending the Sterling Business Center (SBC) WEB UI?
Cause
You want to customize WEB UI framework based screen of. SBC.
Answer
SBC must be customized using sbcdev.war and not by sbc.war. You can have both sbc and sbcdev either in a separate deployment or in the same deployment.
Steps to enable extensibility:
- Build the application:
-To have separate deployment, build sbcdev.war using the below command,
> buildwar.cmd -Dappserver=weblogic -Dwarfiles=sbcdev
-To have it in same deployment, while building ear you can pass sbcdev as one of the war file in Dwarfles parameters as shown below:
> buildear.cmd -Dappserver=weblogic -Dwls-10=true -Dwarfiles=smcfs,sbc,sbcdev -Dearfile=smcfs.ear -Dnowebservice=true -Ddevmode=true create-ear
NOTE:: The advantage you have with this is, you can enable verbose trace for SBC from application management console.
- Start the application server by passing following java argument:
-Dwufdevmode=true
NOTE:
In production environment do not use this argument while starting the server
Use Firefox v3, v3.6 to work with workbench. Higher version of Firefox and IE are not compatible.
- Login to Dev environment using the URL http://<app_server>:<port>/sbcdev/sbc/login.do
- In the application, open the screen that you want to customize.
- Click Shift + space bar.
A popup may appear asking to install 2 plugins. Install each of them one by one.
- Restart Firefox and re-login.
- Click Shift + space bar on the screen that you want to customize.
