Verifying OCM Mappings

If you are upgrading from Xe or ERP8, before running the Workbench ensure that the OCM mappings for any previous environments in your plan are correct. From B9 onwards, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne on IBM i systems use LOBs instead of BLOBs.

When you created your upgrade plan and copied the data sources and OCM from your previous System data source, the Planner flagged all the regular data sources as LOB data sources. However, any existing data_source_name ' DNT data sources were not flagged, and remain as BLOB data sources. When you finalize the plan, it automatically deactivateds all data_source_name ' DNT OCM mappings for the previous environments in your plan, and activated the non-DNT data sources instead.

When you created your upgrade plan and copied the data sources and OCM from your previous System data source, the Planner flagged all the regular data sources as LOB data sources. However, any existing data_source_ name DNT data sources were not flagged, and remain as BLOB data sources. When you finalize the plan, it automatically deactivateds all data_source_name DNT OCM mappings for the previous environments in your plan, and activated the non-DNT data sources instead.

As a result, prior to running the Workbench, you should verify the accuracy of the OCM mappings after you run the Planner. Ensure that no data_source_name - DNT mappings are active for the previous environment(s) in this plan.

Examples of data_source_name - DNT mappings are:

Control Tables -data_source_name - DNT

F9060

System - release_number - DNT

F983051

Versions - data_source_name - DNT

Tip: In order to verify basic functionality of your OCM mappings, you should run a sample UBE (for example, R0006P or R014021) in PS8920 on your Enterprise Server.
