E1: ESU: Why Is An Object Changed Or Merged Rather Than Replaced By The Spec Merge UBE R98700? (Doc ID 660444.1)

Last updated on OCTOBER 25, 2023

Applies to:

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools - Version 8.97 and Prior and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

Customer needs clarification about why some objects are changed (or merged) rather than replaced when installing a software update (ESU, ASU, Update, etc.). Customer installed an ESU where multiple objects were Changed (not Replaced). They then built and deployed the associated package and then began to have problems with some of the objects that were not replaced. How can we now force the object specifications to be replaced for the Changed objects?
