Promoting Foundation Code

This section discusses how to promote foundation code into the production environment when using a Microsoft Windows-based Enterprise Server.

1. On the Enterprise Server, stop the Release 9.2 services for the following environments:

   • The environment that you want to promote to production

   • The production environment

2. Navigate to this directory:

   z:\JDEdwards\ddp\E920

3. Create a directory called System Backup, and move the System directory into the System Backup directory.

4. Navigate to this directory:

   z:\JDEdwards\ddp\foundation_code_dir

5. Copy the System directory to this directory:

   z:\JDEdwards\ddp\E920

6. Navigate to this directory and copy the jde.ini file.

   z:\JDEdwards\ddp\E920\System Backup\System\bin32

7. Paste the jde.ini file into this directory:

   z:\JDEdwards\ddp\E920\System\bin32

   The program asks if you want to replace the existing jde.ini file. Click OK to indicate you want to replace the existing jde.ini file.

8. Start the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne services.

9. On the Deployment Server, create a System Backup subdirectory under the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne host code directory. For example

   z:\JDEdwards\E920\System Backup

10. Copy the System and SystemComp directories into the System Backup directory.

11. Navigate to the directory containing the system code being promoted. For example:

    z:\JDEdwards\System x.xx

    where x.xx is the release number of the tools release

12. Move the System and SystemComp directories to this directory:

    z:\JDEdwards\E920

13. Using P9654A, edit the machine records to include the environments that you want to access the promoted tools release.
