Understanding SnapShot

The SnapShot program (note the terminology uses upper cases in the naming convention for this program) manages multiple instances of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Server or Development Client on a single machine.

Note: This chapter discusses using SnapShot on the Deployment Server. For details on using SnapShot on the Development Client, refer to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Development Client Installation Guide.

Using SnapShot you can save and restore copies of an installed Deployment Server. A saved copy is called a "snapshot" (note the terminology uses lower case in the naming convention for this entity).

Below is an example of SnapShot managing multiple tools releases including E920 and two installations of E910 (B9_Perf and E910_aaa).
