Reports

For Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Report Design Aid specifications, do not delete objects on existing reports. Hide the objects that you do not want to appear. The system might use these objects for calculations or as variables, and deleting them could disable major system functions.

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

Object	Preserved	Replaced	Comments
New reports.	X		You can either create a new report or copy an existing report using the Copy feature in Report Design Aid. This feature enables you to copy all the report specifications, including event rules. If you use the Copy feature to copy an existing report for some modifications, during an upgrade your new report does not receive any changes that might have been made to the original report.
New constants added to existing reports.	X
New alphabetical variables added to existing reports.	X
New numeric variables added to existing reports.	X
New data variables added to existing reports.	X
New runtime variables added to existing reports.	X
New database variables added to existing reports.	X
New data dictionary variables added to existing reports.	X
Style changes.	X		Style changes include fonts and colors. New controls have the standard base definitions. If you have adjusted the default style, you need to also adjust the styles for any new controls that you added to a report.
Location and size changes for objects.	X		In a subsequent release of the software, a new object, such as a control, might be placed in the same location as you placed a custom object. In this case, the objects appear next to each other. This situation does not affect the event rules or the functions of the report in any way. After the upgrade, you can use Report Design Aid to rearrange the objects.
Data dictionary overrides.	X
Custom sections on existing reports.		X	Instead of adding custom sections to existing reports, use Report Interconnect and connect to a new custom report that uses system codes 55 through 59. System performance is not adversely affected when you call a report through report interconnections.
