JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools 9.1 Update 5 demonstrates Oracle’s commitment to continuous innovation for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0 and 9.1 Application releases. Tools 9.1 Update 5 will enable JD Edwards EnterpriseOne customers to achieve competitive advantage by improving IT processes, driving down costs, and overall transforming their business.
The most important changes in the area of the user interface include the introduction of a new application appearance, named “Alta”. These changes standardize the user interface of JD Edwards in relation to other Oracle products. The most important development direction is to simplify the appearance of the application so as to minimize the time spent on training new users, as well as the introduction of options for encouraging collaboration between users (integration with e-mail and calendar).
Changes in the area OneView Reporting is mainly the introduction of the traceability of the data displayed on a report in the source application (drill-back), and the ability to verify the selection of the data used to generate a report presented on the screen. Changes in the area of system administration include, among other things, improve the process of building packages (parcels), as amended by eliminating the need to create client packages. This results in a significant shortening of the time required to update the server during the process of installing patches or system changes. Oracle also announced a new certification system for JD Edwards, among others, for the Oracle database 12.1.0.2 with the option for In-Memory and other middleware products.
The new layer technology is compatible with versions of the JD Edwards 9.0 and 9.1 and is available for download from the Oracle E-delivery Cloud.
