This chapter discusses:

  • Certifications (Formerly Known as Minimum Technical Requirements)

  • Additional Considerations

2.1 Certifications (Formerly Known as Minimum Technical Requirements)

Customers must conform to the supported platforms for the release as detailed in the Certifications for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. For more information about Certifications, see the Certifications tab on My Oracle Support:

2.1.2 JD Edwards World Requirements

The following World Software Update needs to be installed to the JD Edwards World environment.

World Release Software Update
A73 CU 9 through A73 CU 14 A738078380
A73 CU 15 and A73 CU 16 A732848097
A73 CU 9 through A73 CU 16 A738119129
A921 A922904211
A931 A934500344
A94 A942658158

Additionally, Software Update CCSIDCONV needs to be downloaded and restored to your machine. It is used later in the process for CCSID conversion.

Note:

The minimum requirement for A73 Direct Migration to E1 is A73 CU 9. Homebuilder conversion requires a minimum of A73 CU 12.

You do NOT need to install A738078380 if you are migrating from A73 CU 15 or A73 CU 16. The contents of A738078380 are included in A73 CU 15 and A73 CU 16.

Software Update A732848097 contains updated information for two files (F98888 and F98881) which are used during the Direct Migration process.

2.2 Additional Considerations

Disk Space

Due to the volume of data being copied, the required amount of disk space is double the size of the Business and Common data library plus what is listed in the MTRs for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2. Failure to acquire enough disk space can cause the migration to fail.

Sizing/Databases/Hardware

Regardless of hardware, Operating System, or Database platform choices, a certified sizing by our hardware platform partners is highly recommended. This sizing helps assure the new JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environments function at optimal levels.
