Downloading Packages

Packages in the Search Results grid are downloaded from the Update Center. The checked boxes in the first column of the grid specify those updates that have not been downloaded. This status is determined by local information that is taken from the download log. You can select which packages to download by manually checking or unchecking the check boxes in the first column. You can download multiple packages simultaneously by selecting more than one package in the Search Results grid.

To download packages:

1. Within the Search Results grid, select the packages you would like to download by placing a check mark in the first column.

2. Open the Download drop-down list box by selecting the down arrow next to the Download button.

3. To download the selected packages, select either the Download To option or the Download and Deploy To option from the drop-down list box.

   The Download and Deploy To option provides a way to download and deploy all selected packages in one step.

4. Select your download folder from the list of previously chosen folders or select a new folder to which to download your packages.

   Note: During the download process, you have the ability to pause, resume, and cancel the download using the appropriate buttons in the bottom-right corner of the form. You can also view the progress of the download in the status bar at the bottom of the form.

5. If you selected to download and deploy in one step, you are prompted to sign into JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and then must enter your specific deployment information before starting the download.

   For example, deploying Electronic Software Update (ESU) packages from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne deployment server requires the name of the target environment and other deployment options. An additional input dialog is displayed to prompt for these options.

   Note: You must be on the deployment server in order to deploy the packages.

   See Deploying Packages.

6. View your downloaded packages by selecting Work with Packages and then Downloads from the tree structure.

7. If you think there may have been problems during the download process, you can perform a checksum validation to ensure the integrity of the downloaded package by selecting the Check Sum tab within the Package Details pane.

   When you select this tab, the system uses 2 algorithms, MD5 and SHA-1, to calculate checksum values for the downloaded package and compares these values to the original package. A green check mark appears next to each value if the checksum value for the downloaded package and the original package are the same. If there is a problem with the integrity of the package, you will see a red universal no symbol over a check mark next to the value.
