General Rules for Modification

These general modification rules apply to all objects:

• When adding new objects, use system codes 55–59.

  The system uses its own reserved system codes that enable it to categorize different applications and vertical groups. When you use system codes 55 through 59 for your custom modifications, the system does not overlay your modifications with new applications.

• Do not create custom or new version names that begin with ZJDE or XJDE.

  These prefixes are reserved for standard version templates that are included with the software, and these prefixes do not preserve your custom versions in case of a naming conflict. You can copy the pristine versions to create new templates or versions.

• For upgrades, build a package from the last modified central objects set and perform backups of your development server, central objects, and Object Librarian data sources so that you can access those specifications for comparison or for troubleshooting purposes.
