Object Packaging

Object packaging provides a very simple way to move any JD Edwards EnterpriseOne object from one machine to another through the creation of a zip file that contains compressed files and directories. The zip file, called a PAR file, can consist of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne objects from either local specifications or from central objects. Depending on the purpose of the PAR file, it may also contain:

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne objects in an XML metadata specification file format.

  • Data dictionary items, user-defined codes, and new tables in XML file format.

  • Deployment components and a schedule of tasks to be performed, as well as documentation on these components and tasks.

  • Oracle Business Accelerator (OBA) files such as the Business Accelerator Schedule file, help files, and business process documentation.

  • Data PAR files that contain base configuration data for OBA.

Use object packaging within Object Management Workbench to create PAR files from local specifications. Use object packaging within Configuration Assistant to create PAR files from central objects. Once a PAR file is created, it can be easily transported from one machine to another (for example, through email or a USB flash drive).
