Troubleshooting the JDE.INI File
To locate the JDE.INI file, search in the system/bin32 subdirectory. For example, /u01/JDEdwards/E920/ini/JDE.INI. These notes apply to the JDE.INI:
It is composed of several sections.
The section names are enclosed in square brackets; for example, [JDENET].
The environment variable $JDE_BASE should contain the location of the JDE.INI file.
If you copy the JDE.INI file to other directories (for example, the $SYSTEM/bin32 directory), the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne programs could read the wrong JDE.INI file.
This error occurs because some programs might look for the JDE.INI file in the current directory before looking at the JDE_BASE environment variable.
Each section contains one or more keys.
The key name is on the left side of the equal sign, and the value of the key is on the right side.
Do not include spaces in the key names or key values unless you know that a space is required.
Do not include spaces immediately before or after the equal sign.
Keys can be commented out by adding a semicolon (;) at the start of the key name.
We recommend that you place incidental comments on a separate line adjacent to the key to which the comment applies.
Be sure to include a preceding semicolon. Comments can be included at the end of the key value, but these comments can be incorrectly interpreted if they are not separated from the values of the keys by sufficient white space. Because the amount of white space between the values of the keys and the comments is not strictly defined, we recommend that you do not place comments after the values of the keys.
Section and key names are not case sensitive.
Many key values are case sensitive.
Although all of the following values activate a feature, they may not be interchangeable as values in the JDE.INI.
Use a value that is comparable to the default value provided in the original JDE.INI. Also, many of these values are case sensitive. If you have any questions about values, contact JD Edwards Worldwide Customer Support Services.

If you are told by JD Edwards Worldwide Customer Support Services to modify a key that does not exist, you can add the key. Ensure that the key is in the correct section and entered with the correct spelling and case.
