1. What is Package name length limitation in EnterpriseOne?
Scenario: Starting with EnterpriseOne 8.12 application release level onwards, the length of a package in
EnterpriseOneis limited to eight characters. The field is called Package Name, Data Dictionary alias
PKGNAME, on the PackageAssembly - Package Information form (P9601 / W9601F).
The Package Management guides (for Tools Releases 8.96, 8.97 and 8.98) correctly state in the
"Assembling Packages"section:
"The name of the package cannot be longer than eight characters"
However, the System Administration guides (for TRs 8.96, 8.97, 8.98) incorrectly state in the
"Understanding NamingConventions" section:
The naming conventions for a package are as follows:
* Limited to 10 characters.
Answer:The correct length limit is eight characters. Documentation ICE 1805247000 was entered to
report thedocumentation error in the System Administration guides.
NOTE:
The Package Assembly application will generate a red error if you enter a package name over 8
characters, but inreality codewise it will accept it up to 10 characters. The reason it was changed to allow
only eight characters only isbecause of the mobile packages.
When you build a mobile package, it appends the packagename with " _M ", e.g. if your package is
named DVF092908(9 characters), it would attempt to change it to DVF092908_M (11 characters). The
PKGNAME DD item only has alength of 10 characters, so the 11 character name would be invalid. If
you're not using mobile packages and aren'tbothered by the red error that pops up, then it's probably OK
to enter in 10 character package names.
2. While assembling a package over a project name what to do
when theOMW project does NOT show up in the list?
Answer:
When in Package Assembly, there could be problems when searching on versions that have been included
in a Projectin OMW. In Package Assembly application, when a search is done on an "OMW Project
Name", the application looksat the F9861 table in the Modification Comment (SIMODCMT) field and
finds all the records it has based on theProject Name. This field gets updated after an object in the Project
is checked in.
When OMW is delivered, the default activity rules are set to allow check-in and check-out rules from the
DVEnvironment.
