Updating JD Edwards EnterpriseOne with the Software Master
This task explains how to update JD Edwards EnterpriseOne using the software master that you created. To perform this update, access the Work with Updates (P96470) application from the System Installation Tools (GH961) menu. This process includes setting merge flags, running the self-extracting executable (package_name.exe), running software updates, and executing the installation workbench.
To update JD Edwards EnterpriseOne using a software master:
Run the package_name.exe executable file from the CD.
This process installs the package into the Planner\Package directory on the deployment server, and extracts the package_name.mdf and package_name.ldf files into the Planner\Data directory. The process also creates the software master image in the PLANNER directory.
Note: You can also use the CAB file to create the software master image on the deployment server, but you need to use a third-party application to uncompress the file.If InstallManager.exe exists on the CD, start the installation by double-clicking it.
If this file is not on the CD, double-click the package_name.exe file to self-extract and uncompress the CAB file. After it is uncompressed, Install Manager will automatically launch.
On Installation Setup Screen, click Next.
On Installation Setup Type, verify that the machine has the necessary disk space and that the install path is correct, and then click Finish.
When the installation is complete, the Install Manager displays the "Installation Complete" window.
Click OK.
On the Deployment Server, sign in to the Planner environment (JDEPLAN).
Type GH9612 in the Fast Path field.
Select Application Software Updates (P96470).
On Work with Software Updates, click Find.
Select the product package to install, and click Next.
On Software Update Environment Selection, select the path code on which to install the package, and click Next.
If you select unattended mode, the Installation Workbench will automatically perform all the workbench tasks to complete the installation. If you do not select unattended mode, the Installation Workbench tasks must be done manually.
If you select backup, the process will create a PAR file (PRJ_packagename_pathcode_60_99.par)) in the Planner\Package\Package_Name\PathCode.bak directory. All objects that are affected by the update will be backed up in the PAR file.
The Installation Workbench should stop after the Table Conversion workbench process is complete.
Review the PDFs and the log files that were created by the table conversions, and then continue with Installation Workbench.
When Installation Workbench is complete, the system returns to the Work with Software Updates screen, and the selected software update should have the Completed Normally install status.
Click Close to quit Work with Software Updates.
Review all PDFs that were generated on the deployment server by the software update process, and verify that each of report is free of errors.
If a report has errors or does not appear to have run, review the jde.log file to determine the source of the problem. This table provides descriptions of the Software Update reports.
