Full Client Packages

Full packages are static, point-in-time snapshots of the central objects for the path code on which the package is based. A full package contains everything that developers need to run in order to develop in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software. Specifically, a full package includes a full set of specifications (specs), a full set of business function dlls, source files, object files, header files, bitmaps, an INF file that defines where the foundation, data, and features are located, as well as other information about the package. The package specs are stored in an Oracle Enterprise Edition (OEE) repository and the specification data is in a platform-independent XML format. Use this package type when you want to create a full workstation configuration.

In a full package, every application for which users are licensed is available to them. Because specs reside on the workstation, information is processed locally, which eliminates network traffic. When you deploy a full package, a few specs and tables might be installed just-in-time, but the impact on network performance is insignificant.

Full packages are primarily for initial installations and are normally deployed using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Client Workstation Installation application. You can also use Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Director application to install a full package on a computer on which JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is already installed.
