Business Functions

For any new custom business functions (BSFNs), create a new custom parent DLL to store your custom modifications. Always use the standard application program interface (API), jdeCallObject, to call other business functions from within a business function.

To bring your custom changes forward to the next release level, run the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Object Librarian Modifications report (R9840D) to list all of the modified business functions. Use this report as a guide when you manually enter the business function changes.

To determine whether the source code of existing base business functions has been modified, use a third-party source-compare tool, such as Microsoft WinDiff. To determine modifications to APIs within business functions, see the online help feature for the most current information about APIs.

This table describes the business function elements that are preserved or replaced during an upgrade:

Object	Preserved	Replaced	Comments
