Comparing Deployment Methods

Each deployment method has strengths and limitations. To help you decide which method is right for your needs, here are important points about the different methods:

  • A new user loading a new machine should use the Install Manager to load a full package, plus any update packages that you have instructed users to load since the last package build.

    Therefore, you need a manual tracking system to track which update packages must be applied after installing a particular package.

  • All update packages must use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Director application to be scheduled to workstations.

  • Full packages can also use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Director if JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is already loaded on a machine.

  • Use Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Silent Installation application to submit a workstation installation request through command line arguments.

    Do not use this application for an initial installation.

  • Use Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Multitier Deployment process to install from more than one deployment location.

    You should consider this method if you have more than 50 workstations performing software installations per day or if you have users on a WAN.

  • Use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Director application when you need to push objects in a server package to enterprise servers.
