Oracle by Example brandingPromoting Objects to Package Through Web Object Management Workbench

section 0Before You Begin

This 25-minute OBE (Oracle by Example) shows you how to promote an individual object and a project in the Web Object Management Workbench (Web OMW).

In this OBE, you will:

  1. Create a project.
  2. Add an object to the project.
  3. Promote the project.
  4. Create an object.
  5. Promote the object.

Background

Web OMW provides a way for developers and administrators to manage development projects and objects. As a System Administrator, you can create or modify objects within a project to complete a specific task and meet business requirements. After the development is complete, it is required to deploy the project using package build and deployment.

Starting with Tools Release 9.2.8, Web OMW provides you the ability to promote specification-based objects and project containing specification-based objects. You can now use the Promote feature to promote an object or project and make it available to the users immediately without package build and deployment. If a project contains UDO, data dictionary and UDC objects, they will not be promoted. Additionally, the Promote feature does not allow to promote projects that contain a Table or a Business function.

Scenario

In this OBE, let us consider a scenario in which you are a developer and need to create a project, add an object to it, and promote the project to make it available to other users. Next, you will add another object and promote the second object individually.

  • Installed JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Release 9.2 with Tools Release 9.2.8 or later.
