Editing the jde.ini File

This section discusses how to make the appropriate changes to the jde.ini file on a Microsoft Windows system.

  1. Navigate to the \system\bin32 directory under the new host code directory, and edit the jde.ini file.

  2. Locate the [DEBUG], [INSTALL], and [BSFN BUILD] sections in the jde.ini file, and change the paths in each of these entries to point to the new host code directory:

    Note: Replace host_code_dir in the entries below with the name of the new host code directory.
    [DEBUG]
    DebugFile=d:\JDEdwards\ddp\host_code_dir\log\jdedebug.log
    JobFile=d:\JDEdwards\ddp\host_code_dir\log\jde.log
    JDETSFile=d:\JDEdwards\ddp\host_code_dir\log\JDETS.log
    
    [INSTALL]
    E920=d:\JDEdwards\ddp\host_code_dir
    StartServicePrefix=JDEdwards Update x.x 
    

    where x.x is the tools release number. For example, 9.2.

    [BSFN BUILD]
    BuildArea=d:\JDEdwards\ddp\host_code_dir\packages
    
  3. Locate the [JDENET] section, and find the port settings for serviceNameList and serviceNameConnect. For each entry, add 100 to the number. For example, if the settings are both 6013, change them to 6113.

    [JDENET]
    serviceNameList=6113
    serviceNameConnect=6113
    
  4. In the [JDEIPC] section, add 1000 to the startIPCKeyValue entry as shown below:

    [JDEIPC]
    startIPCKeyValue=7000
    
    Note: If the startIPCKeyValue value is commented out, delete the comment mark.
  5. In the [SECURITY] section, either clear security, or edit DefaultEnvironment to reference a valid environment that accesses the new tools release.

  6. Replace all references to the production environment (for example, PD812) with a valid environment that will access the new tools release (for example, PY920).
