JD EDWARDS WORLD A9.1—THE RENAISSANCE RELEASE IS NOW GENERALLY AVAILABLE
Now that A9.1 is GA, remember to visit our JD Edwards World Upgrade Resources page to answer any questions that you may have regarding A9.1. Download your copy of the newest release today. This is a password-protected site and will require a sign-on and ID. If you do not have one, contact our Global Support Center at 1.800.289.2999 for assistance.
NEW A9.1 UPDATES AVAILABLE FOR JD EDWARDS WORLD
There are new updates available to download for A9.1 Web Enablement and A9.1 Documentation. Check the Software Delivery site to find out what is included in the new updates.
JD EDWARDS WORLD A9.1.2 STATEMENT OF DIRECTION NOW AVAILABLE
Oracle’s JD Edwards World entered a new age with A9.1, the Renaissance Release. As a result, JD Edwards World customers can now more confidently consider World as a centerpiece in their efforts to align business and IT strategies. Fulfilling our commitment to help JD Edwards World customers protect their investment, by continuously extending and evolving JD Edwards World capabilities to deliver even more value is proven in our Statement of Direction for A9.1.2, the next step in JD Edwards World’s “reawakening.” Building on what was begun with A9.1, solutions for JD Edwards World customer needs are continuing to come to fruition in A9.1.2.
JD EDWARDS WORLD A9.1 TECHNICAL FOUNDATION UPGRADES NOW AVAILABLE
Reinforcing an ongoing commitment to delivering more value for customers’ upgrade and maintenance investment, Oracle is pleased to announce the availability of a new update release of JD Edwards World containing several enhancements to A9.1 Technical Foundation applications.
- Import/export capability has been expanded.
- World Writer record length limitation has been removed to enable use of World Writer as a powerful data integration and migration tool. When coupled with Import/Export, JD Edwards World users can now export entire single or joined tables as .csv, or .xml files.
- Import/export now supports export directly to World-created spreadsheet templates, reducing several steps in the process of exporting and importing spreadsheet data in a cyclical process.
- Use of the IFS (Integrated File System) has been enhanced to tighten security, yet still allow users to set up their own departmental and individual “sandboxes” and optionally force exports to follow default placement configurations for each user.
- The Web-enabled interface delivered with A9.1 has been optimized to accelerate performance for Java server-based deployments.
More information pertaining to the import/export update can be obtained by searching the World Support Web site for Update 8380520 and for the Web-enabled optimization update, A91Web. JD Edwards World customers can also call World Global Customer Support at 1.800.289.2999 for assistance.
JD EDWARDS WORLD A9.1—SINGLE EURO PAYMENT AREA (SEPA) LOCALIZATION FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW NOW AVAILABLE
The SEPA (Single Euro Payment Area) Credit Transfer Scheme provides benefits to companies such as reduction of bank fees and number of bank accounts and standardization of banking platforms. Support for SEPA Credit Transfers in JD Edwards World is available for A7.3 and A9.1. Listen to the newly recorded Transfer of Information (TOI) to find out more information regarding SEPA.
