Dear JD Edwards Development/Customer Services,
First, I would like to take an opportunity to applaud your Visual Event Rule
Compare tool. This single tool has allowed the XE developers to review MODs
within JDE code better than anything else I have been able to find on the
market.
Prior to VERC, it was a painstaking process to copy ER from previous
versions of One World to updated versions. Transcribing ER, one line at a
time, was a miserable situation that consumed valuable developer time.
Anyone that Migrates MOD'd objects from previous versions of OW to XE will
find the tool a godsend, just like I have.
I can't say thank you, enough... VERC has saved our migration hundreds of
hours.
<now the plea>
It is the suggestion of JDE that clients copy JDE objects and make
modifications to the copies. This process of copying allows JDE to update
source with ESUs to maintain a baseline. The concept of not having MOD'd
code to worry about works very good in the, fictional, corporate
environment.
VERC does not have an ability to compare or merge against objects that don't
have the same object name. This single hitch places a JDE Developer in a
situation where VERC becomes a frustration, rather than the solution as
intended.
Once an object is copied to a new name and modified, there is a very
difficult path to compare the copied object against the original. When an
ESU is applied against the original, it is even more frustrating due to the
inability to compare the MOD'd object against the ESU'd
Recently I requested, of our JDE Account Executive, to research this issue.
I received a reply that comparing objects with different names was not
supported - and there doesn't seem to be any motion to change.
JD Edwards, Please consider additional development of the VERC tool to
allow it to compare objects of the same type, but with different names. You
have taken this tiny little tool so far - it would be an enormous
disappointment to leave it unfinished.
If you are going to continue to suggest to your clients to copy objects to
new names - in order to make modification - then you need to finish the tool
that will allow the copies to stay current.
Please reconsider the development of VERC to include comparing against same
object types with different names. I am not alone in this request to make
VERC more flexible.
Please.
