\'Normal\' ESU procedures
I've had system admin and package deployment classes. Being essentially the one-man IT department at my company, I've now been thrust into responsibilities for managing all things CNC. We've got a financials apps consultant modelling away, and finding problems (we were on the original installation SP13).
I've worked my way through a couple of ESU's, but I need help in understanding what the normal process would be (per JDE) for deploying them.
When they are installed (to DV) they create two package assembly definitions (DV and PD) and one package build definition (DV) which are meant, I presume, to help you deploy the contents of the ESU to those environments. However, I notice...
1) The build definition is a client-only package. Don't ESU's generally need to be deployed to the enterprise server(s) as well, particularly those with Business function type changes? I'm guessing I'm supposed to modify the package assembly and build accordingly. Yes, no, maybe so?
2) The PD definition doesn't include any objects. What's the point here?
<tongue-in-cheek>I know I have to be missing something because surely software at this level has to be distributed in the best way possible. </tongue-in-cheek>.
Can anyone help?
