Chapter 2: Understanding Business Accelerators

Oracle Business Accelerators for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne enable you to easily configure
your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system. Business Accelerators help you define the setup
data that supports business processes in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne products. Each
Business Accelerator presents a series of business focused questions that are based on the
applications that you select. Only those questions that pertain to the products that you select
for implementation are displayed to you. Business Accelerators can be used with JD
Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.12 and later releases.
Note
Business Accelerators are release specific. You cannot apply a Business Accelerator for JD
Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.12 to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0.

Customers can purchase an Oracle Business Accelerator for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to

use during their implementation of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Using Business Accelerators
can greatly reduce implementation time and costs. Business partners can use Business
Accelerators as the basis to create custom configurations to support a particular country or
industry. Business partners can use Oracle provided tools to create new Business
Accelerators that can then be used for implementing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
This diagram provides an overview of the components that are required for running
Business Accelerators:

Chapter 3: Working with JD Edwards

EnterpriseOne
This chapter discusses installing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

Installing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

Business Accelerators work with an installation of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne at a release
level of 8.12 or later and are applied from the Deployment Server. The environment on your
Deployment Server should have only the base software that is provided on a CD or as an
electronic download. You should not perform any testing or update any ESUs other than the
ESU that supports Business Accelerators. Do not serialize or execute applications until after
you load the Business Accelerators onto your Deployment Server. The Business Accelerator
question and response user session might change items, such as data dictionary, and any
applications that have been executed will need to be regenerated.
You can download and install the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software from the Oracle
Electronic Delivery (http://edelivery.oracle.com/) site. You must ensure that you install the
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software in accordance with the steps provided in Chapters 1
through 6 of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Release 9.0 Installation Guide.
Note
You can run the question and answer portion of the Business Accelerator on a machine
other than your Deployment Server. You can use Business Accelerators in these ways:

You can answer Business Accelerator questions without being connected to a JD

Edwards EnterpriseOne installation. You must transfer the answers to your
Deployment Server.

You can use Business Accelerators with a standalone version of JD Edwards

EnterpriseOne 9.0. In this case, you load the answers onto the standalone version.
You can also move this answer set to a full server version of JD Edwards
EnterpriseOne.

You can view the download by clicking the Downloads folder in the Work with Packages
node of the Change Assistant tree structure.

Deploying the ESU

When you use Change Assistant and the 8901022 SAR number to query for pertinenet
ESUs, you might receive a No Results Found message. If so, then you do not need to
deploy any OBA specific ESUs before you execute the OBA load operation. If you do
receive a list of ESUs, then you must deploy them to each target environment on your
Deployment Server before you execute the OBA load operation.

Deploying Business Accelerators

Deploying the Business Accelerator consists of these two major steps and an optional step:

Answer questions.

Transfer questions and answers (optional).

Load data.

You can run Business Accelerators on a machine other than a Deployment Server. You can
use any Microsoft Windows platform where Change Assistant is properly installed to
complete the question and answer user session. After you answer the questions and before
you load data, you must transfer the user session to your Deployment Server.
You can complete the questions and answers over a period of time. You can temporarily
end a session and then restart the session at a later date. You can transfer a completed
user session or a partially completed user session. If you started your question and answer
session on a development machine other than the Deployment Server and temporarily
exited the user session, you can move the unfinished user session to the Deployment
Server and restart the user session. The user session restarts with the question and answer
panel where you stopped.
Each time you deploy or restart a Business Accelerator user session, Change Assistant
compares your package with the Update Center version. If the package on the Update
Center supersedes your package, a Download Applications Fixes window appears asking if
you would like to use the newer version of the package. Instructions are included in the new
version to help you evaluate the nature of the update and whether you should download and
deploy the new package. If you choose to download and deploy the new package, you must
redo the question and answer user session.
Transferring a user session to the Deployment Server requires two steps: export and import.
You use Change Assistant on your development machine to export the user session. You
use the Deployment Server to import the user session.
You must use a Deployment Server to complete the load portion of the process.
Context-sensitive help is available for each question and answer panel.
