System Data Source Connections

When EnterpriseOne starts on a workstation, the software attempts to connect to the base data source found in the workstation jde.ini file. If this data source is unavailable, the software attempts to connect to a secondary data source for system information. It is important to have processes for ensuring that the alternate system data source location contains current information. You can maintain an alternate data source's information using table conversion or data replication.

The jde.ini file should look like the example for the primary system data source connection:

[DB SYSTEM SETTINGS]

Default Env=DEMO910A

Default PathCode=DEMO

Base Datasource=System 910

Database=System 910

Secondary System Data Source connection

[DB SYSTEM SETTINGS - SECONDARY]

Base Datasource=Access32

Object Owner=

Server=

Database=Access32

During installation, the Release Master application relates the system data source to a release. Configuring the release updates the setup.inf file used during the workstation install to create the jde.ini file.
