1.1 Data Dictionary Overview

The Data Dictionary in Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools is used to create or modify Data Dictionary items for use in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications. Data Dictionary items not only define and describe data, but they also can trigger the runtime engine to react or process in certain ways by nature of their types. Furthermore, online help, error messages, term substitutions for different industries, and translations are all tied to Data Dictionary items.
