Interactive Application Rules

Do not delete controls, grid columns, or hyperitems on existing software applications; instead, hide or disable them. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne might use these for calculations or as variables. Deleting them might disable major functionality. Modified JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications are ignored by batch merge. You must use Visual FDA / Merge to retrofit all changes.

An upgrade preserves custom changes to:

• New applications (batch merge)

• New objects on existing forms using Visual FDA Merge, including:

  • New hyperitems

  • New controls

  • New grid columns

  • Any style changes, such as fonts and colors

• Any code-generator overrides

• Data dictionary overrides

• Location and size changes for controls

• Sequence changes for tabs or columns

Custom forms on existing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications are not preserved. A set of visual merge tools have been provided to assist in retrofitting custom modifications.

Refer to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Development Tools: Form Design Aid Guide for more information on Visual Merge Tools and FDA Compare.
