Data Dictionary and Data Dictionary Item Storage

This section discusses data dictionary and data dictionary item storage.

Data dictionary items reside on enterprise (logic) servers in relational database tables. Workstations retrieve from the publisher data dictionary (the relational database tables) only those data items that are necessary for the applications being used. Data item retrieval occurs when you use an application for the first time after installing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. The data dictionary information is stored on each workstation in a permanent cache under the same local path code and spec directory as these global tables:

glbltbl.xdb (references for the data)
glbltbl.ddb (the data items)
