Customization Object Analyzer

This section contains the following topics:

If you are on an older release of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, you need to identify customizations in order to determine the impact and level of effort to retrofit the customizations into the newer release of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. This utility helps to identify the customizations in order to determine the impact and level of effort to retrofit the customizations into the newer release of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

A review of this information, prior to performing modifications within the software, allows for a smoother and more predictable upgrade of the EnterpriseOne software. This section details the impact of an upgrade of the EnterpriseOne software on custom objects and custom modifications to standard EnterpriseOne objects.

The Customization Object Analyzer is comprised of a UBE that loads a table and UBEs that read from that table to create either a summary or detailed report. The UBEs are:

  • R9840DL (Object Dataload) loads the F98881CU table in a parent-child hierarchy of object changes with a list of all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne customized objects.

  • R9840RLS (Release Level Object Dataload) - This Data Load UBE takes the Cross Release Pathcodes as input from User from the Processing Options. The Input from the Processing Option can be selected from the Visual Assist. Once the Cross Release Pathcodes are selected and the UBE is submitted to execute, this UBE will load the data into F98881CU table in a parent-child hierarchy of object changes with a list of all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne customized objects.

  • RD9840RS (Object Customization Summary Report - BI Publisher) creates a summary report from the data in the F98881CU table.

  • RD9840RD (Object Customization Detail Report - BI Publisher) creates a detail report from data in the F98881CU table that shows the details of the customizations grouped by various criteria.

  • R9840R (Object Customization Summary and Detail Report - Standard Version) creates a summary and detail report from the data in the F98881CU table.

  • R9840R|ZJDE0005 (Object Customization Summary Version) creates a summary report on all of the objects from the data in the F98881CU table. This Summary report can be used to compare the Customized objects across pathcodes.

  • R9840R|ZJDE0006 (Object Customization Detail Version) creates a Detail report on all of the objects from the data in the F98881CU table when executed without Dataselection. This version can also be run with Data Selection to get the Detail report on selected objects.

  • R9840R|ZJDE0007 (Object Customization Summary Version By Pathcode) - This version takes two pathcodes as input from processing Options and will generate a Summary report only for the selected Pathcodes from Processing Options. This Summary report can be used to compare the Customized objects across pathcodes.

    Note: For the pathcodes which will be entered in the Processing Options in the R9840R|ZJDE0007 summary report, data should be loaded for those pathcodes using the DataLoad UBE.
Note: JD Edwards provides the RD9840RS and RD9840RD report definitions and report templates to produce the summary and detail reports using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne embedded BI Publisher. BI Publisher reports are only available for E812 and later releases.For information about the embedded BI Publisher, see "Introduction to BI Publisher for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools BI Publisher for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Guide.
