From Old to New…
JDE - Existing Purge Functionality
•
Some purge programs (ex: AP, AR, GL)
Existing purge programs have issues…
•
P00Purge
•
Purge schemas
Handy, but limited functionality…
High level design a ‘step in the right direction’. Schema presents purge
approach at the ‘document level’…
Schemas provide the ‘road map’ – the high level design and the
approach to the purge of various functional areas.
In many cases, higher level considerations, such as batch
integrity, can further complicate the requirements.
From Old to New…
Problems with Standard JDE Purge Programs:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Narrowly focused, resulting in too much data purged and integrity
problems in the live environment (ex: GL purge)
Programs do not purge related files, also leading to integrity problems in
the production database (ex: AP purge)
Archived data does not come close to becoming an environment, so
archived data is difficult to use.
Extended file locks, inability to stop/restart
Inability to purge other files
Problems with P00Purge or SQL:
1.
2.
Too simple… not capable of building enough intelligence into the logic
Performance, stop / restart
“Data Integrity”
Textbook:
- headers and details – the easy part
JDE Specific – the hard part:
- Batch – GL/AP/AR batches – purge partial batches… purge unbalanced
- Cross functional area – AP/GL integrity, orders/cardex,PO/AP…
- Integrity reports
JDE programs are often expecting certain data
to exist in other modules.
Beyond Purge Schemas
• Purge Schemas – a start, but…
– Standard purge approach, very basic
– Mirrors those (few) purge programs that exist
– Files, joins, selection criteria
• But… beyond the schemas:

Intro to ARCTOOLS/400™
and JDE Module™
 Purge and archive files without programming – any AS/400 database
 Create purge routines as easily as writing a query
 RPG code generator processes data safely and in the native database – no
UBE’s
 ‘Stop-by’ functionality allows purges to be run in increments
 Throttle feature controls resource utilization.
o Analyze complex JDE data relationships using simple queries (AS400 query
and/or SQL), run purges using menu driven user interface
o Top-down, bottom up, process of inclusion, process of elimination, iterative
approaches
o Keep related data together in both live and archive (a.k.a. JDE data integrity)
o Numerous functional area purges pre-defined
o Over 170 JDE customers on six continents
o Recommended by Denver as part of A9 upgrade strategy

Reorg after Purging
ReorgWizard™
Intro to ARCTOOLS
Enterprise Manager™
• Based on ARCTOOLS/400 and JDE Module – same
methodology, same approaches to analyses
• Java front end
• PL/SQL code generator (Oracle) or TL/SQL code
generator (SQL Server)
• Not a UBE. Runs in the native database  fast
• Completely parameter driven – front end feeds
inclusion, exclusion, iterative approaches
• Useful for any other application on Oracle or SQL
Server, simply through configuration
