Generating an Updated Data Structure From an Existing Data Structure

Access the Generate Data Structure form.

To generate an updated data structure from an existing data structure:

1. Complete the New Structure Name, Description, and Source Data Structure fields.

2. Select the Generate From Existing One JD Edwards World Data Structure option.

3. Select Generate.

   If the system prompts you with a warning message, click OK. This message informs you that changing the layout of an existing data structure can cause processes using that data structure to fail. This failure could be caused by a mismatch of the order and naming of items in the data structure of the template documents. Also, the business function (B0500725 – Write Web Mail Merge Data) that writes the merge data at runtime depends on the items in this data structure to be in a specific order.

   When the process has completed, the system displays a message indicating whether the data structure was created successfully.

New Structure Name

Enter a unique name that identifies the DS. The system enters this value into the template database record when setting up a web mail merge template.

Description

Enter a value that defines the updated data structure.

Source Data Structure

Enter the name of the previously existing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne data structure. When exiting this field, if the New Structure Name is blank, the system uses the value of this field as the default value in the New Structure Name field.
