Oracle by Example brandingUsing Web Object Management Workbench to Manage Projects with Combined Object Types

section 0Before You Begin

This tutorial shows you how to manage the lifecycle of all object types using the Web Object Management Workbench to perform the following tasks:

  • Import and Export all object types
  • Import, Export and Transfer of Combined Project

Time to Complete

Approximately 10 minutes

Background

Starting with Tools Release 9.2.7.

  • All object types can co-exist in one project. 
    • Reduces overhead for project transfer.
  • Any object type can be Imported/Exported using Web OMW.
    • User Defined Objects (UDO) – Already supported
    • Non-User Defined Objects (non-UDO)
      • OMW Spec Based Objects – APPL, BSFN, BSVW, DSTR, UBE, etc.
      • OMW Data Objects – DD, UDC, RDP, etc. 

Scenario

For this tutorial, consider a scenario in which a system admin needs to manage projects with both UDO and Non-UDO using Web OMW. Your goals for this tutorial include:

  • Importing and exporting objects and projects.
  • Deleting objects and projects.
  • Transferring projects with combined object types.

Prerequisite

Before performing the tasks in the tutorial, you must ensure that:

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne with Tools Release 9.2.7 or higher is installed.
  • For this tutorial, you will perform the steps mentioned in the Creating workflow object with data structures using the Web Object Management Workbench OBE to create an OMW project and add Non-UDO objects to the project.

section 1Export Specification Based Object

  1. In the Object Management Workbench – Web form, select the data structure object you created in the previous tasks to export object from the Project Objects tab.

  5. Select the project which contains the mixed object types i.e., data structure, workflow object and UDO object to export the project with mixed object types. Click Export from the Project Grid.
    6. Description of image45.png follows
    Project Export
  6. The project par file is downloaded in the Downloads location and click Close to exit.
  7. Note: When you export a project that contains only UDO objects, the project export contains UDO objects from the personal or shared location. When you export a project that contains both UDO and non-UDO objects, all objects are exported from the shared location and not from the personal location.
  1. Delete the project with combined object types that you just exported from the Project Objects tab before you import a project par file.
    2. Description of image46.png follows
