Configuring Pathcodes

In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OMW, when a user saves, checks in, or transfers an object, the object's specifications are placed in the pathcode that has been assigned to the object. This pathcode is specified by the transfer activity rules. Because of the integration of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OMW and ClearCase, when a user saves, checks in, or transfers an object, a .txt file is generated that contains information on the object. This file must be placed in a directory located in ClearCase. When you configure a pathcode, you define the location in which JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OMW will place the .txt. file in ClearCase.

The .txt files that are generated are dependent upon the file type that are assigned to the object. There are several different file types, each containing its own set of information. These file types are already assigned by default to the object. The following table lists the file types associated with each object:

Object Type	File Type
NER ER	ER — Event Rule Printout NH — NER Business Function Header NS — NER Business Function Source
C BSFN	BH — C Business Function Header BS — C Business Function Source
APPL	ER — Event Rule DH — Data Structure Header
UBE	ER — Event Rule DH — Data Structure Header
TABLE	TH — Table Header
BSVW	VH — View Header
DSTR	DH — Data Structure Header
NA	BF — Backup Folder
NA	DF — Default

When you configure a pathcode, you define in what folder the .txt files that are generated for each file type will reside. For example, you might want all .txt files that are generated for objects with the ER file type associated with them to reside in an ER folder.

Access the Object Management Configuration form.

Click the Path Configuration button.
On the Source Management Pathcode Configuration form, click the Add button.
In the Path Code field, enter the pathcode and directory in Clear Case where you want the generated .txt files to be placed.
You can also click the Visual Assist button and select a pathcode from the list.
Note: If the directory does not exist, select the Create Folder check box to have JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OMW create the folder.
In the EnterpriseOne File Type field, enter a file type.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OMW uses this file type to sort the .txt files into the appropriate folders in Clear Case. For example, all ER .txt files will be placed in the one folder you entered or chose in step 3. Oracle recommends that you always assign the Default file type to at least one pathcode. The Default folder is the location where the .txt files will be placed should you fail to assign a pathcode to a file type.
