PACKMAN is a tool developed by Forza Consulting that automates the process of building and deploying update packages for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. It reduces manual steps, errors, and strain on resources by automatically selecting objects and languages to include, identifying servers, and promoting project changes.

PACKMAN, Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Package
Manager
The ultimate package-automation tool.

Integration Overview
PACKMAN is a tool that significantly reduces the number of manual steps required to
assemble, build, and deploy update packages, while at the same time mitigating the
risk of errors by automating the manual steps typically involved in this process.
PACKMAN is an essential tool for supporting your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1
implementation whether you are upgrading or implementing JD Edwards
EnterpriseOne for the first time. If there is a requirement to build and deploy update
packages on a regular basis, PACKMAN will reduce the strain on your
CNC/development resources by automating manually intensive, time-consuming, and
error-prone activities associated with building update packages.
PACKMAN is a module that has been designed and developed using the standard JD
Edwards EnterpriseOne development toolkit. Installing PACKMAN does not affect or
impact the standard package build and deployment applications—your ability to build
and deploy packages using the standard process is still available and will work side by
side with the PACKMAN module.
Integration Details
PACKMAN 3.0 has the following features:
Automatic generation of an update/full package - Each package is identified by a
unique package name making it possible for multiple update packages to be built on a
daily basis.
Selected languages in the update package - PACKMAN can be configured to
automatically select any languages that need to be included in the build.
Object Management Workbench (OMW) projects integration - OMW projects
designated to be built and deployed for a particular path code can be selected
automatically. It is no longer necessary to manually browse for and select the OMW
projects and individual objects. However, it is still possible to manually add projects

and their objects after the package has been created. Transfers of OMW projects can
be automated. When business services exist in the projects, PACKMAN will also build
and deploy the business services as part of the build process.
Automatic selection of enterprise server - PACKMAN will automatically select
which enterprise server(s) the package needs to be built on. For business services
(BSSV), the BSSV server is automatically selected during package deployment.
Simultaneous promotion of projects within a package - PACKMAN allows you to
simultaneously change the status of all projects selected within a package. Predefined
project statuses can be used to determine whether a project has been built or deployed,
or is ready for promotion.
Package build reports - Package build reports and the package build logs are
conveniently linked to the PACKMAN packages. All the reports and logs can now be
viewed from within the PACKMAN application without having to gather the required
information from several different locations.
Package cleanup - When a new full package has been built and deployed, the old
update packages and the old full package can be cleaned up with the click of a single
button.
E-mail notifications - E-mail notifications can be set up for any PACKMAN status.
Multiple e-mail addresses can be configured for separate notifications. The e-mail
contents of the notifications are in HTML format and can easily be customized to meet
your requirements.
