Understanding Software Master Templates

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Packaging Tool uses software master templates. These templates provide default information when you are creating a new software master. For example, to distribute objects to a disconnected enterprise, you would build a master based on the ASU (Application Software Update) CD template. Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Mastering Director would use the ASU CD template to determine which director steps, build steps, and directory structure to use when creating the software master. You can configure the default information that is provided by the templates.

You use build steps to build a template. Build steps are the processes that are used to create a software master. You also can add, revise, copy, and delete software master templates. After you add a template, you can use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Mastering Director to create a software master definition using that template.

The processes for revising, copying, proofing, and deleting software master templates are identical to those for the software masters themselves.
