Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Chandra and Paul dive into tracing data updates in JD Edwards applications using FDA (Form Design Aid) and related tools. Together, they walk through a practical example involving meter readings, discussing how to identify which tables and columns are being updated by an application. Paul shares a detailed, step-by-step approach to navigating event rules, named event rules (named ER), and underlying business functions, demystifying what can feel like a technical process for non-developers. The conversation highlights how both technical and business backgrounds can leverage these tools for problem-solving and troubleshooting.  05:23 Event Rules and Events Behind the Application 09:23 Function Logic and Data Structures 13:37 Named ER’s 22:00 Using “C” to view a Business Function 30:50 Business-Driven App Development 32:47 Midwesternism of the Day Resources: Form Design Aid: https://docs.oracle.com/en/applications/jd-edwards/development-tools/9.2.x/eotfd/development-tools-form-design-aid-overview.html If you have concerns or feedback on this episode or ideas for future episodes, please contact us at [email protected]
