Setting Up Data Dictionary Spec Files

After you activate row security in Data Dictionary Design, sign out of EnterpriseOne and delete the following spec files, which as of Tools Release 9.2.6.0 are in the \pathcode\spec\package directory of the Enterprise Server:

  • dddict.xdb

  • dddict.ddb

  • ddtext.xdb

  • ddtext.ddb

  • glbltbl.xdb

  • glbbltbl.ddb

If you do not use data dictionary replication (prior to release 9.2.2 only), you must delete these spec files for each path code directory on your machine and every workstation, including the enterprise server, where this security needs to be activated. These spec files are automatically rebuilt as data dictionary items are referenced the next time the user signs in to EnterpriseOne when just-in-time installation (JITI) is enabled for the environment.

Note: If your system is prior to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Release 8.11, and you are using terminal servers in an environment that does not use JITI, you must rebuild the data dictionary and global table spec files using R92TAM and R98CRTGL to get the changed data dictionary information to the terminal servers
