Overview

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Decustomizer Analysis Report enables you to identify the UI customizations that can be replaced using the personalization and extensibility framework.

A periodic review of the information generated by the report allows you to track the customizations that can be reduced and to stay in sync with the latest updates in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Also, you can run this report prior to performing an upgrade to know the number of customizations that can be replaced by using the personalization framework.

The Decustomizer analysis report identifies the customization done to the Application (APPL) EnterpriseOne objects by comparing the application between two path codes, which are the source and target path codes. Ensure that the ESU level of the source and target path codes that are being compared are at the same level. For more information see, "ESU History (R9672)" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools System Administration Guide.

For example, the report scans the EnterpriseOne applications in the Production path code, compares the same with the Pristine path code, and stores the information pertaining to the specific UI customizations in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne table. Also, the source path code should not have any customizations retrofitted in it for the report to identify the customization done to the APPL objects. Note that the target path code is where the customizations are expected to be present.

The Decustomizer analysis report contains information of the customizations pertaining only to the APPL object type. The report identifies the Application objects that have been customized and provides detailed information about them.

The Decustomizer analysis report supports Tools and Applications releases 9.1 and 9.2.

Generating the Decustomizer analysis report is a two-step process. The first step involves running a UBE to load the table. Second step comprises of running a UBE that reads from the table to produce a report in the PDF format.

The UBEs are:

  • R9540DC (Decustomizer Dataload Report): It loads the Decustomizer data load table (F98881DC) with a list of all the customized APPL EnterpriseOne objects. The Decustomizer Dataload UBE takes the path codes as input from Processing Options - Pathcode Details. Once the path codes are selected and the UBE is submitted to execute, the UBE scans the central objects specs for the source and target path codes, and loads the data into the F98881DC table in a parent-child hierarchy of object changes with a list of all the customized APPL type of objects.

  • R9540DCR (Decustomizer Analysis Report): It creates a summary and detail report from the data in the F98881DC table. The report takes the two path codes as input from Processing Options and generates a report only for the selected path codes.

The following customizations are specifically captured within the APPL EnterpriseOne object type:

  • Forms that have hidden fields or fields removed

  • Forms that have changed the tab sequence

  • Forms that have changed the labels of the form controls

  • Forms that have moved the fields

  • Forms that have made the form field as mandatory

  • Forms that have inserted additional Business View columns
