Working with Customer Base Merges

In a customer base merge, a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne change table is merged into the customer control tables. Change tables store information related to control table data that has been changed or added into JD Edwards EnterpriseOne since the last release. This information can show detail such as how a menu has changed. The customer base merges look for changes from one base release to the next base release, for example, Release 8.9 to Release 9.2, and update the customer Release 8.9 tables with the new information from Release 9.2.

The upgrade performs these customer base merges:

• Data dictionary merges

• User-defined code merges

• Solution Explorer merges

• Favorites merges

• Report director templates merges

• Tips of the day merges

• Workflow merges

For some merges, you can also specify data selection criteria. This feature lets you choose the information to merge into the Release 9.2 control tables. The ability to limit the information merged reduces the total merge time required.
