Understanding JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configuration Assistant

The Configuration Assistant is a standalone Java-based tool provided by Oracle that allows you to extract a subset of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne configuration information into a portable archive. This data can then be loaded into any other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environment using Change Assistant.

The Configuration Assistant provides another simple method to package JD Edwards EnterpriseOne objects as well as data and other configuration items. The Configuration Assistant is used with Oracle Business Accelerators (OBA) to assist you with the setup and configuration of business data, program versions, task views, user-defined codes (UDCs), and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne objects. Using Configuration Assistant, you can specify the configuration elements that you want to package, including objects, tables, versions, UDCs, security records, and task views. You can also specify the loading instructions for each configuration element into the target environment, which include whether to replace tables, replace records, or append records.
