Before You Begin

This 60-minute Oracle-by-Example (OBE) shows you how to run a full package build with optimized performance using the net change mode.

In this OBE, you will:

• Assemble a full package build.
• Activate the assembled package for an optimized build.
• Initiate the full package build.
• Set the processing option to always run the full package build in net change mode.

Background

Starting with Tools Release 9.2.9, the the EnterpriseOne package build application enables System Administrators to alter the full package build, to only compile functions that are updated since the last active full package build.

The enhanced full package build process uses the source files from the original active package as its base, and only builds business functions, Named Event Rules (NER), and tables that have changed since the last active package build.

On activating the full package build in net change mode, it takes considerably lesser time than the normal full package build.

Prerequisite

To build a full package in net change mode, you should have applied the latest JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Planner ESU.

Assembling a Full Package Build

To assemble for a full package build:

1. Access JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system on the web client.
2. Enter GH9083 in the Fast Path and press Enter.
3. From System Administration Tools, select the Package and Deployment Tools menu, Package Assembly.

   

4. On the Work With Packages form, click Add.

   

5. On the Package Assembly form, enter the Package Name, Path Code, and Description fields.
   Note: The name of the package cannot be longer than eight characters.
   • Package Name: For example, enter DV920FY.
   • Path Code: For example, enter DV920.
   • Description: Enter a description for the package.

   

6. On Package Type Selection, select Full, and click Next.
7. Select the Build Business Services checkbox if you are building business services packages for a business services server.
8. Click OK. The Work With Packages form displays the package record in the grid.

   

Activate the Assembled Full Package

After assembling, to activate the assembled full package build:

1. In the Work with Packages form, click the Package Status button of the assembled package to change the status of the package from Inactive to Active.

   

2. Click Define Build from the Row menu.

   

3. In the Package Build Revision form, access the Business Function Options tab and select the Build Net Change Objects Only checkbox.

   

4. Click OK.
5. In the Server Selection form, to select a server, select one or more of the available servers. A check mark indicates your selection.

   

6. Click .
7. Click OK.
8. In the Work With Package Build form, select the package and select Active/Inactive from the Row menu or click the Active Status of the package in the grid to change the status to Active.

   

Initiate the Full Package Build

To initiate the full package build:

1. In the Work With Package Build form, select the package and click Submit Build from the Row menu.

   

2. In the Printer Selection form, select the printer and click OK. The system initiates the build. The full package build takes considerably less time than the normal full package build.

   

3. After the build is complete, review the package build status in the Package Build Detail pane (Work With Package Build form) and verify if all the package components were built successfully or if the build has ended in an error.

   

   

4. To verify the build logs, access the Deployment Server and Deployment Client logs from the system.

   

   

5. To verify the Server Package Build and Client Package Build reports, access them from the Submitted Job Search program.

   

   

   

Setting Processing Option to Run Full Package Build in Net Change Mode

To set the processing option to always run an optimized full package build:

1. Access the processing options for the Package Build program – P9621W.

   

2. Set the value in Net Change for Full Package field to 1.
