How to Read the Report

This report is designed to help you review the objects that will be merged. If the report shows any objects that you do not want to be merged, you can change the modification flag and the merge option so that the modification will not be merged into the new release. Similarly, you can verify that all modifications you want to be merged into the new release are flagged appropriately.

Two sets of headings appear on this report: one for the modified object, and a subheading for the modified components of that object.

Object headings

Description

Obj Type

Type of object. For example, APPL for application or BSFN for business function.

Object Name

Alphanumeric identifier for the object.

Member Description

Brief description of the object.

Syst Code

Product code the object belongs to.

Location

The machine the object is on, which is typically the Deployment Server.

Path Code

Path code in the previous release that the object belongs to.

Mod Flag

Whether the object has been changed (C).

Mrg Opt

Whether the object will be merged (1 is yes, 0 is no).

Date Modified

Last date the object was changed.

Component headings

Description

Object Component

Part of the object that was changed or added (for example, forms and event rules).

Status

Successfully read components will have a status of changed or added. If the status is "failed," the batch application could not read the modified component.

Description

Brief description of the change. If the status is "failed," the description will be a brief explanation of the error. These errors usually result from a failure to read the file.

The report includes the status of the following record types:

  • Package names

  • Source environments

  • Target environments

  • Advanced options

The report is broken into four sections:

  • The first section is a cover page which summarizes the processing options used to generate the report.

  • The second section is a list of the completion statuses of these objects as described in this table:

    System 88 Warning

    Indicates the system detected custom modifications for an object in a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne product code that does not exist in the new Object Librarian. Object Librarian objects were obsoleted by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, so you, as the customer, need to decide how this affects your procedures.

    Errors: Setup issues
