Thank you for using the English version of the JTL-Guide!
We are currently still building up the English documentation; not all sections have been translated yet. Please note that there may still be German screenshots or links to German pages even on pages that have already been translated. This guide mostly addresses English speaking users in Germany.

Note: On 1 September 2024, JTL introduced new editions that bundle most of the previous individual services into different packages. In order for you to continue working as smoothly as possible, existing customers were automatically switched to the package configuration that best matched their existing contract. The individual packages differ in terms of limitations and/or range of functions. Therefore, some of the features described in the JTL-Guide may not be available to you as part of your booked JTL edition. You can change your package configuration in your JTL customer account. Find out more about the new editions and packages here. Check our FAQ for frequently asked questions about the product editions.

Setting up JTL-WMS Mobile

Your task/initial situation

You already use JTL-Wawi and JTL-WMS and now want to use JTL-WMS Mobile for your storage processes.

Requirements

Before you can use JTL-WMS Mobile, you need to set up JTL-Wawi and JTL-WMS (if you are not already using them).

The JTL-WMS Mobile Server that is needed for using JTL-WMS Mobile is installed automatically during the installation of JTL-Wawi. This ensures that both products are always available in the same version. During installation, a shortcut to JTL-WMS Mobile Server is automatically stored in the Windows Start menu, from which you can start the application.

You have already downloaded and installed JTL-Wawi. For more information, please go here.
You have already purchased and activated a licence for JTL-Wawi and JTL-WMS in the Customer Centre. For more information, please go here.
You have already made the necessary settings for JTL-WMS. For more information, please go here.
You have already purchased and activated a licence for JTL-WMS Mobile in the Customer Centre.

Note: We recommend that you start the JTL-WMS Mobile Server on the same server on which your JTL-Wawi database is stored, because the JTL-Wawi database and the JTL-WMS Mobile Server can communicate with each other directly and without detours.

Setting up JTL-WMS Mobile Server

Step 1: Preparation

If you as a user do not have the appropriate rights, it may be necessary that you execute the JTL-WMS Mobile Server as administrator. In addition, you might need to open the port you’re using with your Windows and/or router firewall first. This step may be necessary especially if you deviate from the standard port 8080. Depending on the hardware and software used, the steps involved in opening the port can vary considerably, which is why we unfortunately cannot offer you any explicit instructions for this. However, the standard port 8080 is usually open for web applications and is unlikely to cause any problems.

Step 2: Configuring the Mobile Server

Start the JTL-WMS Mobile Server application. You can find the application in the Start menu. The JTL-WMS Mobile Server management opens.

Select the Server tab to create a new server.
Select the database profile you want to use.
In the Configuration area, first select Name, Tenant and Warehouse from top to bottom.
Select HTTP or HTTPS for the Protocol. If you select HTTPS, the Certificate option appears.
Select the IP address and the Port via which your Mobile Server can be accessed. Make sure that the port is open. We recommend that you use port 8080 if it is not yet occupied by another application on the same IP.
If you have a specific certificate, select it from the list. Otherwise, a new certificate is created by clicking Create certificate.
Under Operating mode, choose whether you want to start your server as an Application or as a Windows System service.
Click Add server to end the configuration and add a server with the selected settings. The Login dialogue box opens.

In the Login dialogue box, enter your login details for JTL-Wawi and click Save.

You have successfully created your Mobile Server and can find it in the Server overview area.

Note on working in parallel with several warehouses and servers: If you work with multiple warehouses and want to launch multiple servers in parallel, you must use a separate port for each server. Example: You have a warehouse (Warehouse 1) and a sales warehouse, for example a local shop (Warehouse 2). You start the server for Warehouse 1 and use the port 8080. If you now want to start the server for Warehouse 2 at the same time, you must use a different port, for example port 8081.

Step 3: Starting the Mobile Server

In the Administration of JTL-WMS Mobile Server dialogue box, go to the Status tab.
Click on the Start button to start the JTL-WMS Mobile Server. Once the server has been started, the status of the server changes from Stopped to Started.

From now on, you can reach the online interface of JTL-WMS Mobile via the server IP and the specified port (for example http://192.168.2.110:8080) on any device in your company network.

JTL-WMS Mobile Server remembers your settings so that you only have to start the server at the next start.

Step 4: Configuring Auto start

Please note: You can also start the JTL-WMS Mobile Server as a Windows System service instead of as an application. This also allows for the Mobile Server to start automatically when Windows is started.

Start new server automatically with Windows

Start the JTL-WMS Mobile Server application.
Switch to the Server tab.
In the Configuration area, first select Name, Tenant and Warehouse from top to bottom.
Select HTTP or HTTPS for the Protocol. If you select HTTPS, the Certificate option appears and a certificate must be selected.
Select the IP address and the Port via which your Mobile Server can be accessed. Make sure that the port is open. We recommend that you use port 8080 if it is not yet occupied by another application on the same IP.
If you have a specific certificate, select it from the list. Otherwise, a new certificate is created by clicking Create certificate.
Under Operating mode, select Windows System service.
Activate the Start via Windows automatically check box and click Add server.
Click Add server to end the configuration and add a server with the selected settings. The Login dialogue box opens.

In the Login dialogue box, enter your login details for JTL-Wawi and click Save.

Your Mobile Server will now start automatically the next time you start the system.

Start existing servers automatically via Windows

You can change existing servers that you have previously started manually, so that they start automatically.

Start the JTL-WMS Mobile Server application.
Switch to the Server tab.
In the Server overview area, select the server you want to change.
In the Operating mode column, select Windows System service.
Activate the check box in the Auto start column.

Your Mobile Server will now start automatically with the next system start.

Step 5: Specifying rights in JTL-Wawi

In Menu: Admin > Users/Rights, open the Creating/Editing users, rights and special permissions dialogue box.
Select the user or user groups that are allowed to use JTL-WMS Mobile. For more information on user rights, please go here.
Go to the Rights area.
In the tree structure, navigate to Using Mobile App and activate the check box.
Click Save and then close the dialogue box.

Your created users can now use JTL-WMS Mobile.
