10.1 Understanding Object Configuration Manager
The Object Configuration Manager (OCM) program (P986110) has the ability to
distribute logic and data provides for flexibility in determining your own partitioning
schemes. It also provides independence in using only the data and logic objects that
you need and allows for growth within your enterprise systems. You can later add
more databases to store data or machines to process logic. You would need to define
the data sources for each and create appropriate OCM mappings.
The OCM stores information in tables that tell the software where data resides and
where processing occurs. At runtime, the software looks to the OCM to determine
these data and processing locations.
OCM configures distributed processing and data dynamically without any
programming. Depending on the environment and the user, the OCM points to the
correct location for:
Data
Batch processes
Business functions
Events
In Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, business data objects (tables) map to database
data sources. Batch processes and business functions map to machine data sources.
Events map to datasources.
You always need at least two OCM tables:
