Introduction

This 30-minute Oracle by Example (OBE) describes how to deploy language fix and language update packages using Change Assistant with the Application Interface Services (AIS) server connection.

In this OBE, you will:

    1. Verify the Change Assistant Update Center and AIS connection preferences.
    2. Search for multi-platform JD Edwards EnterpriseOne language packages on the Oracle JD Edwards Update Center using Change Assistant.
    3. Download and deploy the Turkish language fix package TRK_LF0043 using Change Assistant.
    4. Review deployment reports for the Turkish language fix package TRK_LF0043.

Note:

You can follow the same steps to deploy language update packages using Change Assistant.

Background

Starting with Tools Release 9.2.26.0, Update Manager supports the deployment of multi-platform deliverable (PAR) language package files using the Work With Software Updates application.

You can deploy these language packages using Change Assistant:

  • Cumulative (UN) language packages
  • Language fix packages
  • Language update packages

The language fix and language update packages are multi-platform language packages available on the JD Edwards Update Center.

  • Language Fixes (LNG_LF####, example TRK_LF0043)

  • Language Update Packages (LNG{PartNumber}_enhancement, example TRK242_OTC)

This enhancement enables you to deploy language packages without any dependency on the Windows Deployment Server.

Applying language updates using Change Assistant enables remote patch management and automation.
