“Oracle’s latest offerings for JD Edwards World demonstrate the
company’s commitment to extending the World platform in ways that
matter to its customers.
With Demantra Demand Management, enterprises will find it easier to
respond to changing customer demands with greater agility while
reducing inventory and distribution costs. For many manufacturing and
distribution firms, such capabilities have become today’s requirements
for staying in business rather than tomorrow’s goals. As such, we expect
that World customers will take great interest in what Oracle is delivering
today.”

IBM i Program Conversion
Ensures unprecedented system integrity
Delivers improved performance
Enables exploitation of future system and processor capabilities
 Program conversion is required to run with i 6.1
– Automatically upgrades software to exploit latest system enhancements
– Not required for POWER6, which can run i 5.4
 Conversion requires program's creation data (the default since V5R1)
 Program conversion is performed during install/restore of applications,
at first use or at scheduled time
 Tool available now to analyze program conversion for V5R3 / V5R4
– Identifies potential issues, if any
– Estimates conversion time

Overview of World and IBM i 6.1 Conversion
 Apply the IBM PTF required to run the ANZOBJCVN command
 Install an Oracle JD Edwards World update for V6R1 on the same
machine as the IBM PTF
– Customer Connection Update Center (search on V6R1A73,
– V6R1A81 or V6R1A91)
– Software update is contained in SAVF
– Follow instructions for creating and restoring SAVF
 Ensure that your custom programs will function at V6R1
 Contact your 3rd party software vendors to ensure their product
functions with V6R1
 Review IBM and Oracle documentation
