CNC Acronyms

CNC 

• CNC stands for Configurable Network Computing. What that means is that EnterpriseOne is HIGHLY configurable. Customers can mix and match servers, operating systems, and databases to fit their business needs, pockets and expertise. With time, the acronym CNC evolved into a title for the system administrator for an “EnterpriseOne + World” system.

OMW

• OMW is the acronym for Object Management Workbench. That is the tool that developers use to manage code changes. When code is ready to be tested, the developer promotes the code from development (DV733x) to the testing (PY733x) environment. They then tell the CNC to build and deploy a new Package.  When a CNC builds a new package that means we gather up all of the code changes and recompile the EnterpriseOne code to include those new changes. After the package is built, the CNC deploys the package out to the client and backend servers.

JITI

• JITI is the acronym for Just-In-Time Installation. When an EnterpriseOne full package is installed on a client computer, most, but not the entire package is installed. The specification files, also known as Specs, are quite large.  There are 4 Spec files that are not fully deployed initially. When you enter an application, you will see a screen asking you to wait while Just-In-Time Installation is loading a file. This is a one-time event. On terminal servers, CNCs run a batch job that fully populates the package so that users do not see the JITI windows. JITI was some-thing JDE did to help preserve disk space on client computers. I suspect that we will see this go away over time.
