Retrofitting Custom Modifications for an Interactive Application

To retrofit custom modifications for an interactive application:

1. From Object Management Workbench (OMW), use Form Design Aid (FDA) to copy custom objects into the target application.

   You can use Compare Mode, under the File menu, to help with this process. Everything custom must be copied in FDA, except for Event Rule (ER) variables and ER statements that do not reference any custom objects.

2. Save your changes.

3. Within FDA, select Edit and Event Rules.

   This option enables you to use EditER to reenter all ER statements that reference any custom objects other than custom ER variables.

4. Save your work.

5. Use the JD Edwards ER Compare tool (ER Compare button in OMW or ER Compare command in FDA) to compare the updated local specifications (target) with the original, customized (source) specifications.

6. Copy ER variables and then ER statements from source to target.

   Do not copy any statements that reference objects that existed only in the source (customized) environment. Those should have been created in step 3.

7. Validate the resulting ER. Save and exit JD Edwards ER Compare.

8. When you finish retrofitting and testing the modifications, check them back in and rebuild the package.

9. Test and fix the modifications, and then rebuild and redeploy the corrected package. Repeat this step until all the modifications are functioning properly.
