SCP Object in Active Directory

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne NT service installation creates a Service Connection Point (SCP) object in Active Directory. The SCP object specifies the server name and port number.

Starting JD Edwards EnterpriseOne service on a server automatically updates the SCP object with the server name and port number, and establishes the SCP object status as Running. When service stops, the status of the SCP object automatically changes to Stopped.

Note: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Windows service installation creates the SCP object in Active Directory only if you have added an [Active Directory] section to the jde.ini file on the server before installation.

When a user signs on to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne searches Active Directory for an SCP object with a service name that matches the parameter value in the [Active Directory] section of the workstation jde.ini file. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne selects an SCP object that has a status of Running and retrieves the server name and port number, which enables the workstation to make a connection to the server.
