Working with Business Functions

Every business function must follow a defined structure and form. Every line of code must conform to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne business function programming standards. Creating a business function involves these overall tasks:

  • Use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Object Management Workbench (OMW) to build business function data structures.

  • Use OMW to build business function source and header files.

  • Build and add type definitions for data structures to the header file.

Business function DLLs are consolidated. Therefore, you need to build each of the custom business functions into a custom DLL that you create. This process ensures that the custom business functions remain separate from JD Edwards EnterpriseOne business functions. The build program reviews the F9860 table to verify that the custom DLL exists.

When you create a custom business function, you need to specify one of the custom DLLs. If you do not, the build process builds the custom business function into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne CCUSTOM.DLL, where CCUSTOM is the seven-character name of the company, which is the default.
