This chapter contains the following topics:
Use the Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Cross Reference Facility to determine where specific objects are used. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Cross Reference Facility can be accessed on the Microsoft Windows client or on the web client. However, not all features of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Cross Reference Facility are available on the web client.
In the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Cross Reference Facility, you can view relationships between objects and their components. For example, you can use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Cross Reference Facility to:
Identify each instance in which a business function is used.
View a list of forms within an application.
Display all fields within a business view.
Cross-reference all applications in which a specific field is used.
Caution:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Cross Reference Facility is not automatically updated when you add or modify objects. You must rebuild relationships to include new information.This section discusses how to search for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne objects.
You can search for these objects by object name:
Data items
Interactive applications
Batch applications
Business functions
Business views

You can search where a particular control is used in the Event Rules of an application.
The Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne BrowsER functionality found on the row menu of the ER Search form is not available on the web client. This functionality must be used on the Microsoft Windows client.
The Rebuild Relationships functionality found on the form menu of the ER Search form is not available on the web client. This functionality must be used on the Microsoft Windows client.
This section discusses how to view field relationships.
The Field Relationships form is meaningful only for these cross-reference search types:
Search Type | Description |
---|---|
DA | Indicates data items that are used by an application. |
FA | Indicates forms for an application. |
FI | Indicates forms that use a data item. |
SA | Indicates data structures for an application. |
The Field Relationships form displays the control type for a field. This table describes the control types:
Control Type | Description |
---|---|
BC | Indicates business view columns |
FI | Indicates form interconnects |
GC | Indicates grid controls |
FC | Indicates form controls |
This section provides an overview of rebuilding cross-reference information and discusses how to rebuild information for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Cross Reference Facility.
When developers create and modify objects, the cross-reference information becomes out of date. Because the cross-reference files are not automatically rebuilt when objects are created and modified, you must periodically rebuild the cross-references manually. You can also regularly schedule cross-reference builds to ensure that the information is current. You must rebuild the cross-reference information from the Microsoft Windows client.
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Cross Reference application contains multiple forms. Each form contain a grid of cross-reference records. Each row contains a date column (the far right column) that indicates on which date the cross-reference record was built. Use this date to verify if cross-reference records are out of date. If information is out of date, use the Rebuild option from any of the cross-reference forms on the Microsoft Widows client.
Cross-reference builds use relational database tables, not local specifications.
This section lists the pages used to work with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Cross Reference Facility and discusses how to:
