Understanding the ASU CD Template

The ASU CD is the main template that is used with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Packaging Tools. This template is the basis for delivering objects to distributed enterprises. The Product Packaging ASU Template data is delivered in the ASUTMPL900 configuration package on the Update Center. Use Change Assistant to download and deploy this package. This table shows the build steps and their sequence for an ASU CD:

Sequence Number	Build Step (Type)
10	Check Mastering Items (03 - Manual Build Step)
20	Cleanup Temporary Files (22 - Batch Process)
30	Create CD File Structure (01 - Create the CD File Structure)
40	Build (02 - Package Build)
60	Build Change Tables (13 - Build Change Tables)
70	Create/Load ASU Change Tables (22 - Batch Process)
80	Create/Load ASU Control Tables (22 - Batch Process)
90	Create/Load ASU Misc Tables (22 - Batch Process)
100	Create/Load New and Regen Tables (22 - Batch Process)
110	Create/Load ASU OL & VL Tables (22 - Batch Process)
120	ASU v/s Package Validation (22 - Batch Process)
130	Compress/Copy Database (15 - Compress)
140	Copy Package and Feature INFs (22 - Batch Process)
180	Copy CD Directory Files
190	Create INF
200	Create self-extracting executable
210	Validate the mastered CD

This table provides additional information pertaining to a particular build step within the ASU CD template:

Sequence Number	Build Step (Type) with Additional Information
10	Check Mastering Items (03 - Manual Build Step) Verify the mastering steps and options of the step before beginning the master. This build step must be executed manually before the Master CD.
20	Cleanup Temporary Files (22 - Batch Process) Launches the R967002 batch process using version XJDE0001. This process deletes the files and folders from the directory that you specify (for example, $TEMP\data).
30	Create CD File Structure (01 - Create CD Structure) Creates the CD file structure on the Image path.
40	Build (02 - Package Build) Builds the defined update package. This build step can be set to Built status if the package has run through the Package Build application.
60	Build Change Tables (13 - Build Change Tables) Builds the change tables based on the configuration that was set up during the director phase.
70	Create/Load ASU Change Tables (22 - Batch Process) Launches the R9670 batch process using version XJDE0003. This process creates change tables in the XML database, populating the tables from the Change Table data source.
80	Create/Load ASU Control Tables (22 - Batch Process) Launches the R9670 batch process using version XJDE0001. This process creates control tables in the XML database, and populates the tables from the Control Table data source.
90	Create/Load ASU Misc Tables (22 - Batch Process) Launches the R9670 batch process using version XJDE0002. This process creates miscellaneous tables in the XML database, and populates the tables based on the selections that you made for the objects in the ASU package, the change tables, and the software master definition.
100	Create/Load New & Regen Tables (22 - Batch Process) Launches the R96700 batch process using version XJDE0001. This process creates tables in the XML database that are marked as new or regenerate in the table change table or the table conversion scheduler.
110	Create/Load ASU OL & VL tables (22 - Batch Process) Launches the R9600400C batch process using version XJDE0001. This process copies to the XML database the Object Librarian, Versions List, and package assembly information for the master. Verify that the data source, which you can set in the processing options for this version, is set correctly.
120	ASU v/s Package Validation (22 - Batch Process) Launches the R9671 batch process using version XJDE0001. This process cross- validates information, ensuring that objects, tables, and specifications in the ASU package definition match with the object change table, table change table, index change table, and table conversion scheduler in the software master.
130	Compress/Copy Database (22 - Batch Process) Launches R9640E using version XJDE0003. This process compresses the ASU database XML files and copies them from the $TEMP/data directory to the final software master image path as Data.cab.
140	Copy Package and Feature INFs (22 - Batch Process) Launches the R9600400E batch process using version XJDE0001. This process copies deployment features INFs, the package INFs, and the feature INFs from the deployment server to the $TEMP directories.
180	Copy CD Directory Files (17 - Copy CD Directory Files) Copies additional specified items into the image path. For example, all install programs are copied to the root of the image path.
190	Create INF (16 - Create INF) Creates the deployment INF file into the image path directory.
200	Create self-extracting exe (22 - Batch Process) Launches the R9640J batch process using version XJDE0001. This process takes the entire software master image and creates a CAB file and a self-extracting executable file in the $TEMP/final directory. You can use either of these files to deliver the software master. Uncompress the CAB file or run the executable file on the deployment server, and then refer to the Application Software Update Guide to update JD Edwards EnterpriseOne with the software master.
210	Validate the Mastered CD (22 - Batch Process) Launches R9640D version XJDE0001, which performs post-mastering validation on the master that has been created. Refer to the report output for details.
