Configuration

The Configuration section of Configuration Properties describes these fields:

• Name

  Displays the name of the configuration selected in the Configurations tree view, either in the My Configuration or JD Edwards Configurations node. This name was defined when the configuration was created, and is not editable.

• Description

  Displays a description of the selected configuration. This Properties Configuration field is editable in this view.

  Caution: This field can contain a maximum of 30 characters.

• Documentation

  Optionally, you can attach documentation to be delivered with your configuration. For example, you may want to include some special installation instructions for your configuration in the form of an HTML file. Documentation that is attached by using this field will be displayed in the Task Assistant, which should be associated with each task in the load schedule.

  There is no restriction on the file types that you can attach as documentation.

  You can only attach a single physical file from this field.

  Tip:

  If you want to include multiple files as documentation, you can compress them into a single file and attach the compressed file. Alternately, you can include the documentation (or any other files) that you want to include in an extracted configuration by placing them in this directory <Solution Directory>/<solution name>/

  All contents of the <solution name> directory are automatically included in the .par file created by Configuration Assistant when it performs an Extract. However, even though the files are delivered to a source location using this method, they are not associated with a task as they would be if you used the Documentation field.

  See the definition of this directory in Using Preferences.

• Release

  Configuration Assistant populates this value based JD Edwards EnterpriseOne release number that is printed on the machine on which Configuration Assistant is running at the time the configuration is created.

  Tip: Although this Release value is programmatically determined when creating a configuration, an enhancement to Change Assistant allows configurations to be applied to any release. If there is a mismatch in the Release value during deployment, Change Assistant issues a warning that cautions the user that although cross release application of the configuration is allowed, it should not be done without full knowledge of the consequences and thoughtful testing.

• Deploy To:

  Note: Use this option to limit the configuration consumer's deployment options when the extracted configuration is deploying by using Change Assistant. Using this option does not limit the use of Configuration Assistant.

  Use the drop-down list to select the environments to which to deploy:

  • Selected Environment(s)

    Use this selection to deploy to any selected environment, which can include a local environment.

  • Local Environment Only

    Use this section to only deploy to a local environment, regardless of whether the environment is explicitly selected or not. When you select this option, all other selected environments are ignored.

  • Local and Selected Environment

    Use this selection to deploy to all selected environments including local environments, regardless of whether local environment is explicitly selected or not.
