Configuring Change Tables

To configure change tables:

1. On the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Change Table Director, which appears automatically during the mastering process if required by the template, click Next.

   Alternatively, from Product Packaging (GH962), select Change Table Configurations (P9642) and then click Add.

2. On the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Change Table Director, click Next.

3. On the Target Release Selection form, complete the Target Release field.

   Change the target release to a custom user-defined code (UDC) name that you are mastering. This name needs to be unique, such as E900TAX for the 1099 tax update. Select the release name using the visual assist button.

   Note: The software will not function correctly if these tables have the same value for the source and target release. To add the custom UDC, press the visual assist and then click Revisions. This action displays the Work with User Defined Codes form. Work with User Defined Codes, click Add. Scroll to the bottom of the grid and add the new value in the last line of the grid. After you have created the UDC, select the new UDC on the Work with User Defined Codes form, and click Select. This action will populate the Target Release field with the new value.

4. Click Next.

5. On Source Environment Selection, complete these fields:

   • Source Environment

     Enter the name of the environment that includes the control tables that are used as the baseline for the changes. The source is typically the pristine environment (PS900). The software builds the change table records by comparing the target environment to this baseline.

   • Source Release

     Verify that the source release matches the release and the cumulative update level, such as E900, of the source environment that you want. The software automatically populates this field based upon the source environment.

6. Click Next.

   The Batch Application Selection form appears. This form lists the available change tables along with the batch application and version that will create the change table.

7. To select the default change tables that you want with the software master, double-click the gray button to the left of the change table row.

   A check mark appears on the button.

   Select any or all of these change tables where you made additions, deletions, or changes. The batch process compares the source and target tables in each selected category and creates a change table that contains all changes.

   • Data Dictionary

   • User Defined Codes

     This batch application should always be chosen because changes always occur to the UDC that defines the release.

   • Workflow.

   • Favorites.

   • Templates and Smart Fields.

   • Tips of the Day.

   • Table and Index Changes.

   • Solution Explorer.

   • Service Constants. (8.97 only)

     You can double-click a check mark to remove it.

8. To select a different version or to select multiple versions, select a change table row, and then select Version Selection from the Row menu.

9. On Version Selection, select one or more versions and click Select or double-click the gray button to the left of a version.

   A check mark appears to the left of the versions that you chose.

10. After choosing the versions that you want, click Close.

    The Batch Application Selection form reappears.

    A check mark appears to the left of the change table row that you chose. The change tables that you want to be built for the software master must have check marks next to them or the software will ignore them. If you chose more than one version, the word <MULTIPLE> appears under the Version column for that change table.

11. Either select another change table row and select Version Selection from the Row menu, or click Next.

    If you click Next, the Additional Change Table Definitions form appears.

12. On Additional Change Table Definitions, perform one of these actions:

    • To define additional change table configurations for a new source and target release combination, select Continue and click OK.

      The program displays the Target Release Selection form. Return to the beginning of this task and repeat the steps for a different source and target combination.

    • Select Quit and click OK.

      This action stops the change table configuration director and displays the final revisions screen for mastering the defined CD.

      If you select Quit, the CD Revisions form appears. Use this form to revise the software master definition.

13. On CD Revisions, click OK.

    the software master definition is saved, and the CD Revisions form closes.

14. Continue to the next task, which explains how to validate the definition that you just created.
