Listen "Ep 68 – Compliance, Baselines, and Impact Analysis"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the JDE Connection, hosts Chandra and Paul dive into the topic of managing and understanding JD Edwards baseline ESUs (Electronic Software Updates), focusing particularly on how they affect system updates and customizations. Chandra shares her real-life frustrations working with a third-party software integration, which uncovered missing bugs tied to a baseline ESU. Paul provides a thorough explanation of what baselines are, why they matter, and how they reset update dependencies, making them more manageable for customers. The conversation also covers strategies for interpreting lengthy impact analysis reports, the importance of object usage tracking, and the challenges of retrofitting custom objects. 01:10 Compliance Training Badge Incentives and Jury Duty 04:34 No Jury Duty, Heat, and Construction Projects 06:20 Project Frustrations 08:15 So....What is a Baseline? 13:50 Impact Analysis Panic Button 16:50 Object Usage Tracking to the Rescue 20:12 Midwesternism of the Day Resources: Baseline FAQ’s: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=104746788911911&parent=EXTERNAL_SEARCH&sourceId=FAQ&id=626402.1&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=3tbauqq3x_4 Performing Impact Analysis: https://docs.oracle.com/en/applications/jd-edwards/change-management/9.2.x/eotsu/performing-an-impact-analysis-1.html Understanding Object Usage Tracking: https://docs.oracle.com/en/applications/jd-edwards/change-management/9.2.x/eotsu/understanding-object-usage-tracking.html If you have concerns or feedback on this episode or ideas for future episodes, please contact us at [email protected]
