batch delete

A type of batch process that enables the deletion of records from a table or business view.

business view

A JD Edwards EnterpriseOne object that defines the relationship between two or more tables and joins the data into a single view. You can use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne business views for input to a table conversion, not for output.

control tables

Tables that contain UDCs, menus, and data dictionary items.

data conversion

A type of batch process that enables the transfer or copying of data from an input table or business view into output tables using the logic that is necessary to perform the transfer. You can also use Data Conversion to update records in a table or business view.

data copy

A type of batch process that enables the copying of tables from one data source or environment to another data source or environment when the tables are identical.

data copy with table input

A type of batch process that enables the copying of tables based on information from an input table. For example, the input table might provide information about which tables are copied, where they are copied, and so on.

foreign tables

Tables that do not have a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne definition but reside in a database that is supported by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. You must set up a data source and environment in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to point to the location of foreign tables.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne tables

Tables that exist in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne database and can be accessed from Object Management Workbench. You can design and modify them using Table Design Aid. At design time, only the specifications are needed to reference the table. At runtime, the table must be generated. An instance of the table must occur in a particular database.
