Preparing the Development Environment

If you do not have a development environment, you can skip this procedure.

Caution: For your initial upgrade, do not select the DV920 environment as the target of the upgrade if you are upgrading a copy of your production data. The Development (DVxxx) environment defaults to loading demo data during the upgrade, so loading using the upgrade installer would result in a mixture of your data and the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne demo data in some of your tables.

To make sure you retain all modifications from the previous development environment:

1. Make sure that all work in progress is checked into the development pathcode.

   Caution: From a Development Client, use Object Management Workbench, or your own query or report, to verify that objects are not checked out. Also, verify that no objects are checked out to individual Development Clients. Any modifications that are checked out will not be carried forward to the new release.

2. Build the development package in preparation for deployment to one or more Development Clients.

3. Deploy the development package to one or more Development Clients.

   These Development Clients are used later to help verify that all custom modifications were carried forward to the new release.

   Caution: You cannot make any modifications to the environment you are upgrading (except changes to custom business functions written in C language), and still carry them forward to the next release.
