Deploying to Workstations with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Already Installed

To reload a new package on workstations on which JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is already installed, use one of two methods:

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workstation Installation (for full packages).

• Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Director (P9631/P9631W) (for full and update packages).

After you assemble and build a package, use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Director to schedule the package for deployment to individual workstations or to selected groups. On the specified deployment date, when the users who are scheduled to receive the package sign in, they are given the opportunity to load the package.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Director requires that JD Edwards EnterpriseOne be already loaded on the workstation. You can schedule a new full package to replace the existing package, or an update package to be merged with the existing package on the workstation.

Both deployment methods have advantages. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workstation Installation is a good method to use when you want to install a package immediately or soon after it is built, without having to schedule the package. Alternatively, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Director is useful if you need to control when the package becomes available, if you want to make the package installation mandatory, or if you want to deploy the package to servers as well as to workstations.
