Oracle VM Templates 9.1.3

Oracle just announced last week at Collaborate'13 the availability of new tools release 9.1.3 and we're already running!!

With the addition of two new servers for OneViewReporting and Mobile, the new JD Edwards VM Templates are up and running at JDEFusion labs!

I just installed in a matter of hours and I'm amazed with the new features.

The documentation is still confusing - for example with the same file names for 9.1.2 and V99999.img for the new servers, but it's ok. I could figure out the correct image names.

I'll work a little bit more on the servers, and I can't wait to see the mobile application and OVR running!

Stay tuned and welcome 9.1.3!!!

JDrivE!

JDrivE

JDrivE is a JD Edwards solution to manage your customer's input and output interfaces in a central repository.

Adding this concept with JD Edwards Screen Applications and Reports, JDrivE is able to control, map paths on the fly, log interfaces activities, archive the processed files and much more. 

Also, JDrivE will handle interface's errors in a pro-active way. If it has a problem, JDrivE will avoid the file to be processed, alert the responsible for that specific interface and at the end create a knowledge base for future troubleshooting. 

With statistical reports on interfaces, your company - or customer - will have another view from transactions between banks, customers and suppliers in a granular view, directly on the source. This information can be used for auditing and checks with the system. Another possibility, you may see how long the interface process run, so you may tune your load / extract programs for better performance. 

The solution counts with OneView Reporting technology - for those ones who has OVR installed on their system and regular PDF reports.

JDrivE is a framework 100% written in JD Edwards and no external software is needed. It's a non-invasive procedure in your system which let you organize all your interfaces in a smart and fashion way.

It's raining man! Aleluia, it's raining MONEY!

So, talking about Lyle's keynote, it started quite on-time - I got there a little late, because of heavy traffic from Denver to Broomfield - and I got surprised by the crowd in the conference room! It was really packed with people from all around the globe. It's a good sign for JD Edwards. As so good that 2013 is the YEAR OF JD EDWARDS, as Lyle stated in his presentation.

2013: The Year of JD Edwards! Luck, Peace and Prosperity!

A general view of Lyle's session

The JD Edwards Song

Here's the Techno / Lounge beat I've mixed for Oracle's JD Edwards runaway show at OOW'12. It was fun and intense to create this music, first because we're going to the delivery deadline and second because I had no clue how to use Garage Band!! Well, at the end, I've recorded myself saying: "JD Edwards" and mixed up the tones with some effects and we can see - or better: HEAR - the result here!

Hope you enjoy the "JD Edwards Song"!!




Besides the JD Edwards passion, I'm also a musician. I play acoustic guitar, so check out my Sound Cloud channel:

JD Edwards VM Templates - Release 9.1.2 - Up and Running!

Yes!

Here's the screenshot of my desktop with the VM Manager and JD Edwards 9.1 up and running!

It took me only two days to make this happen and after some issues, I could make the installation. The overall performance is better than the 9.0 release.

I still need to install the deployment server and development workstation, but the appliance is here! Up and running!!

If you are planning to upgrade the tools release, the VM Templates is a FAST and reliable solution for your company to take a deep insight about what's new in JD Edwards. You can install the VM Templates and put it up and running in a matter of hours!

I did a talk at INFOCUS'12 in how to install the VM Templates using a lean concept and submitted the same paper for Collaborate'13. Whether my paper is approved or not, I'll create a complete and detailed tutorial in how to setup these templates here in the blog! Keep in touch and let me know if you have interest in this, so I can accelerate the tutorials!

JD Edwards 9.1.2 VM Templates released

Here's a screenshot of my first impressions with the new JD Edwards VM Templates.

I tried to load the templates on my VM Server which I'm running JD Edwards 9.0, but didn't work as I expected.

Now, I virtualized the new VM Server - version 3.1.1 - on my desktop and installed the VM Manager on an Oracle Linux VM to do a preliminar tests before doing something on my HP server.

I'm really excited with this new version and it's coming complete with the most recent updates and features, and the learning curve is minimal for the VM Server Manager.


JD Edwards EnterpriseOne – A Flexible Architecture
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications run on top of a robust, flexible, and highly configurable architecture. Various components, such as logic servers, database servers, and web servers cooperate to provide a scalable and configurable technology platform that accommodates enterprises of all sizes, user counts, industries, and geographies.

Companies sometimes invest weeks to design, implement, and test the architecture that exactly meets their needs. However, not every implementation of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne requires such rigorous attention during the installation phase. Many customer scenarios can be accommodated by a fundamental configuration on a preconfigured technology stack. Providing a rapid installation of a base configuration, yet allowing for modification, yields the best of both worlds. Oracle VM templates for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne deliver this solution.

Oracle VM Templates
Oracle VM is Oracle’s state-of-the art virtualization offering. Oracle VM can be applied to address many IT issues, for example, server consolidation, disaster recovery, and high availability. Oracle VM templates are particularly effective in addressing the issue of rapid application deployment. Oracle VM can encapsulate the complete configuration of a virtual server into a data file—a template. This template can be used to create a new virtual machine, which then functions exactly as the original virtual machine. Oracle provides many such templates for its products, which customers can use to rapidly deploy applications and technology products.
