There's really no such thing as maintenance-free: our cars, our houses and most definitely, our technology all require some time and investment on our part to keep things running smooth, at peak performance, and avoid breakdowns at all-too-critical moments (which you know is when they'll happen!) JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is no different. Bill Loban has some tips for two areas that can get overly-cluttered and slow things down to a crawl if they're allowed to grow: Job Records and Associated PDFs, and Work Center messages. Ready for some Fall cleaning?

By Bill Loban  
Size: 576KB, Version:1.0, Publication Date:9/21/2006

Maybe a bit of cart before the horse, but we figured that you'd want to know all about OCM mappings in the first place before we tossed this subject out there. Since you can have varying types of data sources and different databases, it is pretty handy to have a way of keeping track of who's using which data where. This article will help you get all that sorted out.

  Generating Server Maps

By Mike Wright, Werner Co.  
Size: 620KB, Version:1.0, Publication Date:7/21/2005
The Object Configuration Manager (OCM) mappings are the lifeline of your EnterpriseOne system. The Object Configuration Master Table (F986101) contains all of the mappings that basically tell the system where to get the data and where to run processes such as business functions and batch jobs (UBE). It is very important that these mappings are accurate and maintained properly. Most people focus on the mappings that affect the client and then use SQL or manual methods to populate the server maps. This article will show how to make the process easier and tell you what to watch out for when doing it.

  Unicode and EnterpriseOne

By Bill Loban  
Size: 413KB, Version:1.0, Publication Date:5/18/2005
With EnterpriseOne 8.10, came the introduction of Unicode. Unicode is a standard for representing characters as integers. Unlike ASCII, which uses 8 bits for each character, Unicode uses 16 bits, which means that it can represent 65,280 more unique characters. When upgrading to 8.10, clients have the option to convert business data and control tables to Unicode after the upgrade. Bill Loban's article will break this all down for you - what is Unicode, what are its benefits, and what to look out for if you choose to convert.
