The work libraries are named Library where library is the name of your common or production data library. You must display your 'Z' libraries. You must delete all empty 'Z' libraries.
Note:
If a 'Z' library is not empty, an unresolved file conversion problem may exist. For assistance, call JD Edwards World Worldwide Customer Support.-

5.10 Test in the Alternate Environment
Caution:
JD Edwards World A9.3 is delivered in a “locked down” state, meaning that the default for all major security types is “NO ACCESS”. Before users can begin using the A9.3 environment, YOU MUST TAKE ACTION. Access to most system resources must be specifically granted in the security setup. To get users up and running in the A9.3 test environment, you can set up security records that emulate the old program behavior of granting access by default. Usually this can be done by entering a record for user *PUBLIC which grants access to *ALL resources. Once you are familiar with how A9.3 security works, and you are ready to set up security appropriately, you should then add appropriate security records for individual users or groups and remove security records which grant *PUBLIC / *ALL (default) access.Refer to the JD Edwards World Technical Foundation Guide the online helps for options 14 through 23 on menu G9401 and Doc ID 1460223.1.
For existing users who will access the A93 test environment and lower release environments, you will need to change their IBM profile to call J98INITA from the A93 alternate object library.
You can operate your alternate environment at release level A9.3. JD Edwards World recommends that you test the performance of the environment against your data files, and train your users at the new release. When you are satisfied with its performance, you are ready to use it to upgrade your production environment, which is described in the next phase.
5.11 Install A9.3 Update 1 to the Alternate Environment
JD Edwards World recommends that you install A9.3 Update 1 followed by A9311 (Single Byte) or D9311 (Double Byte) to your alternate environment. You must include your JDFDATA on the Configuration screen when you install A9311 or D9311 as that is used in your GO LIVE process. A download is available for your production GO-LIVE upgrade to allow you to go from A7.3, A8.1, A9.1, or A9.2 directly to A9.3 Update 1. For more information, see Phase 6 of this guide.
You start with the Quick Install Guide for A9.3 Update 1.
Note:
A9311 is the first Group Software Update for A9.3.1. You will install the Group Software Update that is generally available on the Update Center when you perform the A9.3 Upgrade.
