Package Build Considerations

The package build process uses a value in the c:\Windows\jde.ini on the build machine when building a full package to determine the directory structure that will be created on target workstations when the package is installed. This key and setting are:

[INSTALL]
DataByPathCode=0|1

The directory structure that is formed by the package build based on this setting is stored in the inf file for the package.

The following table shows what the directory structure would look like when the built package is installed on a workstation using these example values:

  • Installation Directory

    c:\E920

  • Pathcodes

    DV920

    PY920

Note:

These values are only examples; additional pathcodes could be included.

DataByPathCode

Directory Structure

Comment

DataByPathCode=0

c:\E920\JDEData

Contains database shared among all pathcodes

c:\E920\DV920

c:\E920\PY920

DataByPathCode=1

This is the default value for package build.

c:\E920\DV920\JDEData

Contains database for DV920

c:\E920\PY920\JDEData

Contains database for PY920
Caution:

The value of the DataByPathCode key in the [INSTALL] section of the jde.ini on the machine(s) on which any packages are built MUST match the value of the DataByPathCode key in the [Attributes] section of the oraparam.ini in \OneWorld client Install\install directory for the Development Client installer.
