Understanding JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Compare and Merge Tools

JD Edwards compare and merge tools enable you to compare two versions of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne objects and non-code objects, such as versions, UDCs, data dictionary items. Tools Release 9.2.4 and later include and merge tools for business views, tables, reports. If you have made custom modifications to business data, forms, or event rules, the compare and merge tools can help you retrofit your changes or verify that they were carried forward to a new release. Furthermore, you can use these tools anytime you want to compare items between two environments.

Note: The compare and merge tools for RDA, business views, and tables require that the JAS.ini, JDBJ.ini, and MergeTools_JAR.jar files reside in the ..System/Classes directory of the development client. If you are using the Oracle Database Client, the tnsnames.ora file must also be present in the ..System/Classes local folder on the development client. These files are copied automatically from the Developer Web Client configuration, if it has been installed.
