Chapter 7. Packages and Their Delivery

We can discuss the inner workings of Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, and you can have it installed on the various servers by your implementation specialist. The question, however, must arise surrounding how you deploy the software, its updates, and modifications you create throughout your enterprise. The answer: packages. Packages enable EnterpriseOne to be a distributed solution. In this chapter, we are going to provide information on the package build process and how this process affects your system’s architecture. We’ll cover the following topics:

• EnterpriseOne packages

• Centralized versus decentralized package strategies

• Workstation packages

• Server packages

• Package deployment

• Troubleshooting packages
