Understanding How to Install Workstations from CD

If your system includes a CD writer, you can build and deploy packages to the CD writer location. After copying the package to a CD, you can then use the CD as a portable deployment tier from which to perform workstation installations. That is, you can run from the CD the setup.exe program that launches the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workstation Installation program.

You can set up your enterprise so that you can deploy packages to the CD writer and install the software from a CD.

The first step in the process of configuring your system for deployment from CD is to define the CD writer location if it is not already defined. In this step, you essentially create a pseudo deployment server from which you will later copy package data onto the CD by using the software for your CD writer.

When you define the CD writer location in the Machine Identification application, you must also add the correct path codes to the Environments exit.

The process for defining this location is identical to the process for defining any other new deployment server.
