Digital Transformation
Redesigned Orchestrator Studio
In Tools Release 9.2.4, a completely redesigned Orchestrator Studio has been
introduced to further simplify the process of creating orchestrations for
nontechnical users, while giving technical users powerful capabilities for
more complex orchestrations. The redesigned Orchestrator Studio provides
the following enhancements:

 Top-level access to all orchestration components: Upon the first launch of the
Orchestrator Studio home page, users will immediately see top-level access
to all Orchestrator components.
 Graphical flow view of orchestrations: The Studio now displays
orchestrations in a graphical flow model, which is interactive and enables
users to more easily visualize the logical steps.
 Run orchestrations directly from the Studio: Orchestrations can now be run
directly from within the Orchestrator Studio; signing on to a separate
Orchestrator Client tool is no longer necessary.
 Sorting and grouping: The lists of orchestrations, notifications, and their
subcomponents can now be arranged in groups and sorted in ascending or
descending order by name, date, or product code.
 Nested import and export: The export and import features now extend to
nested components.
New Orchestrator Scheduler User Interface
The Scheduler includes a broad range of powerful process monitoring and
automation functionalities. Adding to these functionalities, the redesigned
Orchestrator Studio in Tools Release 9.2.4 now includes a graphical user
interface, making it easier to start, stop, and monitor the scheduled jobs. The
Scheduler user interface provides these features:

 A single click to start and stop a scheduled job: The new Scheduler user
interface provides an intuitive page that lists all orchestrations and
notifications that have schedules associated with them. A toggle button is
available to start and stop scheduled jobs.
 Monitoring of scheduled jobs: The Scheduler user interface provides a broad
range of metrics and status information about scheduled jobs, including the
last run time, the next scheduled run time, and health (success or failure) of
the last ten runs.
 Autostart: The Scheduler user interface provides a toggle button to indicate
that a job should be automatically started whenever the Application Interface
Services (AIS) server is restarted.
One View Watchlist Enhancement
With Tools Release 9.2.4, One View Watchlist has been enhanced with an
option to mark a Summary Row in an application. This feature not only
provides more accurate results in watchlists but also enhances the alerting
and reporting capabilities. Most important, by generating notifications
periodically based on the watchlist criteria, this feature enables users to focus
on other important daily tasks.

User Experience
Form Extensibility – Associate Orchestration Support on Grid
Tools 9.2.3.3 introduced the capability to launch orchestrations from an
EnterpriseOne application form. Tools 9.2.4 provides additional capabilities
by enabling orchestrations to run iteratively over each selected row in a grid
and to map the output of an orchestration back to both header and grid fields.
This functionality will considerably reduce the repetitive tasks of editing the
grid records manually. For example, a sales order has 100 detail lines and a
user needs to change the Date Requested column value to today’s date for all
of the detail lines. To accomplish this task, the user could create a new
orchestration that takes the order number and today’s date as input values,
and update the Date Requested column value of the grid with the output of
the orchestration. This orchestration will update the date value of the Date
Requested column to today’s date in just one click for all 100 detail lines.
This capability increases user productivity by processing multiple
transactions in real-time with a single click in existing interactive
applications without customizations and any dependency on batch processes.
Personalization – Form Security
With the implementation of form security features, the system administrator
can now protect the form personalization by restricting access to the base
form. This feature enables customers to change the user experience for an
 application using form personalization and secure this new form to be the
only interface. This also removes the need to customize applications to have a
mandatory experience for users. Administrators can secure the base form via
UDO security.
Color Coding of Environments
With Tools Release 9.2.4, this enhancement enables the system administrator
to set the color schemes for each environment (Production, Test, and
Development) so that users can easily identify which environment they are
logged in to. This enhancement reduces erroneous entries or transactions
being made in an incorrect environment.

Operational Simplification
Simplified Deployment and Security of Orchestrator Studio
In addition to being redesigned for ease of use, Orchestrator Studio is now
also easier to deploy, maintain, and secure.

 Simplified deployment process: The previous releases of Orchestrator Studio

required deployment to Oracle WebLogic Server within an Oracle
Application Development Framework (ADF) environment. Beginning with
Tools Release 9.2.4, the Orchestrator Studio is deployed as a component of
the AIS server and is available through a URL endpoint to that server. This
enhancement simplifies the customer’s architecture and management process
by eliminating the requirement for a discrete WebLogic or ADF server for
Orchestrator Studio.
 Orchestrator Studio certification on IBM WebSphere Application
Server: Because Orchestrator Studio is now deployed as a component of the
AIS server, it inherits the platform certifications of the AIS server, which
includes the certifications of both Oracle WebLogic Server and IBM
WebSphere Application Server.
 Simplified security: Secured access to Orchestrator Studio is now aligned
with the standard JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application security model.
There is no need to add users to an AIS white list.
Scalable Elastic Deployment
A new white paper describes how customers can leverage Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Autoscaling for Compute Service with Container technology to
“right-size” their compute resources and save infrastructure costs by scaling
the workload tier dynamically and on-demand. This paper describes the
mechanics of using the autoscaling feature in Oracle Cloud, how this
technology is leveraged with container technology, and the elastic unit
concept to provide a scalable versatile solution for an EnterpriseOne
architecture.
Terraform Stage Server Image on OCI Marketplace
Additional automation is available for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with the
introduction of the Terraform stage server on the Oracle Cloud marketplace.
This new image replaces manual steps and reduces setup time by accelerating
the provisioning of the JD Edwards reference architecture through One-Click.
Deployment Server 64-bit Enablement
The Deployment Server can now be migrated to 64-bit. As a result,
customers can migrate their entire JD Edwards environment to 64-bit. This
migration saves time and reduces dependence on hardware resources by
eliminating the requirements of managing both 32-bit and 64-bit artifacts,
which forces multiple package builds. By migrating their system to 64-bit,
customers are future-proofing their environments as database, operating
system providers, and other third-party vendors start delivering only 64-bit
solutions.
New Merge Tools
We continue to simplify the process of continuous innovation and adoption
by delivering additional tools to manage customizations in UBEs, table
indexes, and business views. Customers are now able to compare
specifications for UBEs to assist in retrofits. Additionally, customers can
compare and merge customizations that have been made to business views or
table indexes.
Support of File Path Encryption for Downloads
Encrypting the FILE_PATH parameter with a site key when writing the URL
and decrypting the parameter before downloading a file is now possible for
artifacts such as media objects, report definitions, and grid exports. File path
encryption with a SiteKey increases the security of JD Edwards
EnterpriseOne systems by preventing attackers from viewing a given file path
and thereby securing other files on the system from potential attacks.
Platform Certifications
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne deployments depend on a matrix of
interdependent platform components from Oracle and third-party vendors.
The product support lifecycle of these components is driven by their vendors,
 creating a continuous need to certify the latest versions of these products to
give customers a complete technology stack that is functional, well-
performing, and supported by the vendors. This Tools release includes the
following platform certifications:
Database 19c

 32-bit and 64-bit JDE on Linux

 32-bit and 64-bit JDE on Windows
 32-bit JDE on Solaris
 See the support of Oracle Database 19c (Doc ID 2563489.1) document for
