Interface Tables
Interface tables provide point-to-point interoperability solutions for importing and exporting data. Interface tables are also called Z tables. Interface tables are working files into which you place transaction information to be processed into or out of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. In addition to the interface tables provided by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, you can build interface tables. If you use interfaces tables to update JD Edwards EnterpriseOne data, the format of the data must be presented in the format defined by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. When you use interface tables to retrieve JD Edwards EnterpriseOne data, you use a batch process that extracts the data from the applications tables.
Some of the benefits of using interface tables include:
Defined data structure
Identifiable fields
Customizable interface tables
