Understanding and Obtaining the Manifest
Key to using the impact analysis tool to determine the impact of a Simplified Upgrade is
the manifest. This is the F96400.xml
file that the impact analysis tool
loads into the F96400 table. The impact analysis compares the objects in the manifest
table (F96400) with Electronic Software Update (ESU) and Object Librarian (OL) tables to
determine if the objects should be replaced or merged with or without custom
modifications as defined by the spec merge rules.
Manifests are available for supported JD Edwards EnterpriseOne releases, which are Applications Release 9.0.2 and 9.1. You can obtain manifests by these methods:
Latest Planner Update ESU
The manifest (
F96400.xml
) file is located in the..\PLANNER\Data
subdirectory on the Deployment Server on which the latest Planner Update was applied. For example:Release 9.0.2
c:\JDEdwards\E900\PLANNER\Data
Release 9.1
c:\JDEdwards\E910\PLANNER\Data
