Working With Initial Tasks Workbench

Before the workbench is run, the F00945 table in the System data source is blank because it is no longer populated when a plan is validated. However, after you run the Initial Task Workbench several tables in the System data source are populated including the F00945 table.

The Initial Tasks Workbench form lets you complete the following preliminary tasks before the individual workbenches begin:

  • Security copy

  • Media Object (Inplace) Unicode Conversion (applies to upgrades from Xe and ERP 8.0)

  • Data Dictionary Media Object Unicode Conversion (applies to upgrades from Xe and ERP 8.0)

  • Copy data dictionary

  • Copy system tables

  • Release Master

You can also change the status of any of the initial tasks, for example, if you need to rerun a task.

You use this procedure if you are running Workbench in attended mode or if you set a task break before Initial Tasks Workbench.

This sections describes these tasks:
