OMW Concepts

Project
A Project is made up of Objects and Owners.

A Project includes Owners who play different roles

in the development process.

All development of J.D. Edwards Objects will be

done in the context of a Project.
OMW Concepts

Default Project

The first time a developer uses OMW a Default

Project is created.

The Default Project is named after the user’s ID.

All development done outside of OMW is stored in

the Default Project.

Default Projects cannot be advanced to another

status code.
OMW Concepts

User Roles

User Roles define the allowed actions a specific user

can perform on a project.

The administrator assigns allowed actions to each

User Role.

You may add as many people to each User Role in a

project as necessary.

OMW Concepts

Token

The Token is used to minimize the possibility of one

user overriding another user’s changes to an object.

When an object is checked out and is not

already checked out by another user The
project receives a Token.
OMW Concepts

Token

A Token can be released, switched or inherited.

The Token is released by the project when the project

reaches the status designated by the administrator for
release.

A Token is not released by the project

when the object is checked back in.

A Simple, or Inner Join, includes

only rows that match both tables.

A Right Outer Join, includes rows

common to both tables and unmatched
rows from the right, or secondary table.

A Left Outer Join, includes rows

common to both tables and unmatched
rows from the left, or primary table.
