Table Conversion

Table conversion provides a point-to-point interoperability solution for importing and exporting data. Table conversion is a special form of Universal Batch Engine (UBE) that enables you to do high-speed manipulation of data in tables. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has a table conversion utility that you can use to gather, format, import, and export data. The table conversion tool enables you to transfer and copy data. You can also delete records from tables. Table conversion enables you to use a non-JD Edwards EnterpriseOne table to process, call direct business functions, and give an output. For example, you might want to run a UBE that reads from a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne master file to populate a non-JD Edwards EnterpriseOne table.

The table conversion utility can make use of any JD Edwards EnterpriseOne table, business view, and text file, or any table that is not a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne table but resides in a database that is supported by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, such as Oracle, Access, IBM i, or SQL Server. These non-JD Edwards EnterpriseOne tables are commonly referred to as foreign tables.
