Ep 83 – FDA for BA’s Part 2

from The JDE Connection

In this episode, Chandra and Paul dive into tracing data updates in JD Edwards applications using FDA (Form Design Aid) and related tools. Together, they walk through a practical example involving meter readings, discussing how to identify which tables and columns are being updated by an application. Paul shares a detailed, step-by-step approach to navigating event rules, named event rules (named ER), and underlying business functions, demystifying what can feel like a technical process for non-developers. The conversation highlights how both technical and business backgrounds can leverage these tools for problem-solving and troubleshooting. 05:23 Event Rules and Events Behind the Application 09:23 Function Logic and Data Structures 13:37 Named ER’s 22:00 Using “C” to view a Business Function 30:50 Business-Driven App Development 32:47 Midwesternism of the Day Resources: Form Design Aid: https://docs.oracle.com/en/applications/jd-edwards/development-tools/9.2.x/eotfd/development-tools-form-design-aid-overview.html If you have concerns or feedback on this episode or ideas for future episodes, please contact us at [email protected]
