Interacting with a JD Edwards application

Gather the following information from your JD Edwards administrator; you will need this information when you run the Adapter Connection wizard.

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environment name
• JD Edwards user name
• JD Edwards password
• The role that is associated with the user name

To find objects in the JD Edwards system, you use the Adapter Connection wizard to run a query to discover business functions or XML lists. Ask your JD Edwards administrator about the available business function libraries or XML list tables. To complete the wizard, you need to know the table type and the attributes to specify in the query. For more information, see JD Edwards connection properties for the Adapter Connection wizard.

You need the following information to complete the system connection information in the Adapter Connection wizard. You can find this information in the jdbj.ini file that is included with the external JD Edwards resource files.
