Needle: Spec Generation on Demand FAQ
Read Time:1 Min, 24 Sec
Generating specs for the Web User Interface has been around since Tools Release 8.96. That’s been a while. The following document describes that process and the package discovery process as well: Oracle Support Doc 787291.1 – Frequently Asked Questions on Spec Generation on Demand and Package Discovery
The basics of the document are covered below:
On Demand Generation Synopsis
- On Demand Generation was introduced with EnterpriseOne Tools Release 8.96. E1 specs prior to Tools Release 8.96 were delivered in TAM format which required a specific workstation to generate them into java objects that can be used on HTML clients. As of Tools Release 8.96, E1 specs are delivered in XML format, which allows for on-demand generation.
- XML Specs after Tools Release 8.96 are stored in database tables instead of TAM files. The JAS / Web server now automatically generates objects on the fly if they do not exist in the serialized object tables. The Web Server continually checks the F9651 and F96511 tables every five minutes for any change in the package.
- The new tables are:
- F96511 – describes what package is deployed where.
- F9651 – describes the Enterprise Server state: in production, about to be deployed, or deployment in process
Package Deploy Changes
- When deploying a package to the Enterprise Server, the JAS Server automatically discovers the new package and purges all serialized records impacted by the package as follows:
- For a full package, all serialized records are deleted
- For an update package, deletes only those records that are included in the update package
- Additional details on this new package process are described in Document 652833.1
- For information on the Package Manifest review Document 663017.1
