JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Database Initializer (P98887)

This graphic describes the Database Initializer program

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software does not support Null values. This program reads the F98881 file, which contains a list of files that are copied from JD Edwards World to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. If the file exists in both JD Edwards World and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne table is updated, if needed. Columns that are unique to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (do not exist in the JD Edwards World file) and do not already have a default value assigned to the column are altered to have a default value. Text columns (columns with data type of CHAR, VARCHAR, CLOB, GRAPHIC, VARG, DBCLOB, BLOB) are assigned a default value of blank (“ “). Numeric data types are assigned a default value of zero (0).
