Defining Features

In addition to objects, you can also add a feature to a package. A feature is a set of files or configuration options that must be copied to a workstation or server to support an application or another function. Like objects, features are included in a package and deployed to the workstations and servers that require the feature components.

For example, you might need to add these items to a package: ActiveX controls, a Supported Local Database for the Sales Force Automation feature, ODBC data sources for use with Open Data Access, or Microsoft Windows registry settings.

You define a feature by using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Package Assembly program (P9601). You can then add the feature to a package by using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Package Assembly program (P9601) and Package Build Director program (P9621).
