• Section 1.2, "JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Batch Versions Implementation"

1.1 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Batch Versions Overview

Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Batch Versions is a tool that you use to create and process versions of report templates.

You can use Batch Versions to:

• Create batch versions.

• Define processing options, data selection and data sequencing, and review version detail.

• Check out batch versions, check in batch versions, erase the check out, and copy version specifications to the enterprise server.

• Modify batch versions without changing the report template specifications.

• Submit batch versions for processing and override processing options, data selection, and data sequencing at runtime.

• Review batch version processing by using BrowsER, the report cover page, and logs for reporting.

1.2 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Batch Versions Implementation

This section provides an overview of the steps that are required to implement Batch Versions.

1.2.1 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Batch Versions Implementation Steps

In the planning phase of the implementation, take advantage of all JD Edwards sources of information, including the installation guides and troubleshooting information.

This table lists the steps for the Batch Versions implementation.

• Using Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Security Workbench, set up permissions to access and use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Object Management Workbench (OMW) and the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Batch Versions application.

  See "Using Security Workbench," "Managing Application Security" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Security Administration Guide.

• Add yourself to the system in a developer role so that you have permissions to create and modify JD Edwards EnterpriseOne objects.

  See "Configuring User Roles and Allowed Actions," "Setting Up User Roles" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Object Management Workbench Guide.

• Set up permissions to create OMW projects.

  See "Configuring User Roles and Allowed Actions," "Setting Up Allowed User Actions" in theJD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Object Management Workbench Guide.

• Set up activity rules to allow you to promote projects in OMW.

  See "Configuring Activity Rules" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Object Management Workbench Guide.

• Set up save locations to enable you to save JD Edwards EnterpriseOne objects that are not ready to be checked in.

  See "Configuring Object Save Locations" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Object Management Workbench Guide.

• Set up default locations and printers.
