eGenerate/Full Build and eGenerate/Individual Objects

[DBohner-(db)]

Howdy,

For those of you working with the JDE Web Client - a quick question...

In the past, I was told that the eGenerate process took (literally) days to
complete a full deployment... JDE recently told me that the process is now,
only a couple hours (on a normal machine). Can anyone tell me if this is
true, and as of which service pack?

Also, I have understood that web builds/deployments of individual objects is
monotenous... We have a fairly active development team, and request quite a
few deployments. I understand that each object would have to be built
seperately, if we are not doing a full build... Further (and more curious),
I understood that each object in an ESU would, also, have to be built
individually (unless there was a full build).... Anyone know if this is
resolved - or make any comments.

Daniel

We're on SP20_G1, and it takes us approximately 4 hours to e-gen a full package. The key is the oomph that you have in your e-gen machine. We have a Compaq machine with a dual processor and 4GB RAM....

R(W Robinson??),

On ESUs and daily/weekly builds - do you still have to eG each object, one
at a time? I am told this is true, but haven't been able to get 'good'
feeback, yet. If I had an ESU with between 4 and 900 objects... the eG
process could be very time consuming... worse than boredom (ghostly).

Are you guys liking the web client? Is it as push-button, from FDA->CNC-Web
Server - as they claim?

thanks for your update - looking forward to any more assistance you can
provide

Daniel

There's a pretty good Bulk Generate option in the generator these days. You give it a text file with the objects you want in it and set it running and it nips through nicely. Speed is pro rata to a full gen roughly - we get a full gen for a path code in about 2 hours so unless the ESU is huge I'd expect to gen it in about 10 minutes After you've got the text file together which is the slow bit!

Richard,

Are you guys 'really' at SP 17? I've understood that the performace issues were not fixed until SP 20.x

Thanks, again!

As the great sage says "D'oh!" - forgot to update the sig - no we're SP20 - thanks for pointing it out.
