Using the Utility Programs

The Tools menu contains several utility programs that assist in the build process. This table lists those utilities:

Utility

Purpose

Synchronize JDEBLC

You run the Synchronize JDEBLC program to reorganize JD Edwards EnterpriseOne business functions into new DLL groupings. This program synchronizes DLL field for the local JDEBLC parent specification table with the parent DLL in the F9860 table. Use this program with caution. You typically use this program only if you have manually dragged business function DLLs from a recent package build and you are experiencing failures in the business function load library.

Dumpbin

You run the Dumpbin program to verify whether a particular business function built successfully. This program displays all the business functions that were built into the selected consolidated DLL.

PDB (Program DeBug file) Scan

You receive a CVPACK fatal error when one of the object files that you are trying to link is incorrectly compiled with PDB information. To resolve this problem, you can use the PDB Scan to identify any object fields that were built with PDB information. Recompile any business functions that the PDB Scan reports.

Customize

You use Customize to add programs to the Tools menu. For example, you could add the programming tool and pass that tool a file name as a parameter when it opens.

Safety Check

You use Safety Check to check selected files (.c, .h or both) for:

  • global variables

  • static variables

  • extern declarations

  • non-"threadsafe" ANSI C APIs

Safety Check-Check All

You use Safety Check-Check All to check all files (.c, .h or both) in a directory for the same conditions as for Safety Check.
