Understanding Software Updates

After downloading the software update or updates, selecting the update to install, and selecting the environment to be updated, you choose to run the software update workbenches in either attended or unattended mode.

It is recommended that you use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and World Change Assistant to run software updates. However, if you choose not to use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and World Change Assistant (for example, if your company has fire walls that block your access), then use the methods discussed in this chapter to run updates.

You will use Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Table Conversion Workbench if you are applying any Application Software Update (ASU).

Depending on the contents of the update, these workbenches may run:

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Control Table Workbench runs the batch applications for the planned merges that update the data dictionary (DD), user-defined codes (UDCs), menus, and workflow tables. It then updates the F98405 table to reflect completion, and writes a conversion log record to the F984052 Table Conversion History Log.

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Table Conversion Workbench runs the batch application that creates tables and indexes. It then updates the F98405 table to reflect completion, and writes a conversion log record to the F984052 Table Conversion History Log.

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Specification Table Merge Workbench runs the batch applications that update the specification tables. It then updates the F98405 table to reflect completion, and writes a conversion log record. The Object Librarian and Versions List merges are now a part of the specification merge.

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Package Workbench transfers the F9603 and F9631 Package Information tables from the Planner data source to the System - 900 data source. It then updates the Package Plan Detail table (F98404) to reflect completion.
