A long, long, time ago, in a boardroom far, far away it was decided that an upgrade would be the next project for IT. However, there was a disturbance in the galaxy and our fair IT heroes couldn’t help but notice the Death Star-sized shadow hanging over the project. Luckily, it wasn’t a trap and they were able to resist and fight their way to a successful upgrade. During this session, we’ll discuss with young upgrade Padawans common upgrade obstacles and how to best overcome them. While the information presented during this session can apply to all version of JD Edwards, our focus is on 9.2.
