P-052757: Kill the Chaos: A No-Nonsense JDE Security Overhaul: How we rebuilt JDE security with cleaner roles, stronger controls, and fewer surprises

This session was presented at INFOCUS 2026.

Security in JDE EnterpriseOne is often something organizations inherit rather than design. Over time, role sprawl, stale user accounts, and a single security environment shared across development and production create risk that quietly compounds until an audit or incident forces the conversation. This session walks through Prinova’s JDE security project: the decision to implement separate production and non-production security environments, what it actually takes to get there technically, and how to manage the promotion process without breaking things along the way. We'll also cover the harder, less glamorous work of role rationalization, access cleanup, and automating the identification and removal of inactive users using JDE's own toolset. Attendees will leave with a realistic picture of scope, practical implementation considerations, and hard-won lessons that apply whether you're starting a similar project or trying to close gaps in an existing environment. Intended audience: JDE system administrators, IT security and compliance professionals, and IT managers responsible for ERP access governance.

P-052754: Securing AI Agents in JDE EnterpriseOne: What You Need to Know Before You Deploy

This session was presented at INFOCUS 2026.

AI agents inside JDE are powerful — but deploying them without a clear security strategy introduces real risk. This session covers the backend security considerations every organization needs to address before going live with AI in their JDE environment. GSI's experts will walk through how AI agents interact with your systems, where vulnerabilities can emerge, what access controls and guardrails should be in place, and how to protect sensitive data without sacrificing functionality. Whether you're already running AI agents or actively planning for them, you'll leave with a practical framework for deploying AI inside JDE with confidence.

P-052749: 64-Bit Ready and Miles Ahead: Implementing PC Miler Web APIs with JD Edwards Orchestrator

This session was presented at INFOCUS 2026.

This session chronicles a real-world implementation of PC Miler Web APIs within a JD Edwards environment — a prerequisite for the 64-bit upgrade that represents one of the most technically complex integration challenges facing JDE organizations today. We will walk through how our team leveraged JD Edwards Orchestrator templates to integrate with PC Miler's industry-leading mileage and route optimization APIs, the custom objects developed to support the integration, and the performance tuning decisions made along the way to maximize throughput and reliability. From initial architecture decisions to the specific gotchas that emerged along the way, this session shares the hands-on lessons learned from navigating a cutting-edge implementation at the frontier of what the JDE platform can do. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of what it actually takes to implement PC Miler Web APIs in a JD Edwards environment, including the Orchestrator framework decisions, object development requirements, and the critical pitfalls to avoid. This session is essential for JD Edwards technical architects, IT managers, and functional leads responsible for transportation management, distribution operations, or 64-bit upgrade planning. Whether you are mid-implementation or just beginning to evaluate the upgrade path, this session delivers the practical, experience-based guidance that turns one team's hard-won lessons into a repeatable roadmap for the broader JDE community.

P-052742: Transforming Customer & Opportunity Approvals in JD Edwards: A Rule-Driven Workflow Approach

This session was presented at INFOCUS 2026.

This session will provide a comprehensive overview of a modern, scalable approval framework built within JD Edwards to streamline both Customer Account Approvals and Opportunity Approvals. The presentation will walk through the end-to-end process design, including request initiation, dynamic approval routing, role-based access control, and automated derivation of business attributes using configuration-driven tables. Attendees will gain insight into how complex approval logic across multiple business divisions can be managed through a structured and auditable workflow leveraging standard and custom JDE components. The solution also extends beyond JD Edwards by integrating with a Azure Bot interacting with Microsoft Teams, allowing approvers to receive approval notifications directly within Teams, review request details, and approve or reject requests without accessing JD Edwards, significantly improving response times and user adoption. The session is designed for functional consultants, technical developers, solution architects, and business process owners looking to modernize approval processes and improve governance within JDE. Attendees will learn how to design flexible workflows using rule-based conditions, implement robust access control, enable automation through configuration tables, integrate approvals with Microsoft Teams for a seamless user experience, and ensure traceability through comprehensive audit mechanisms. By the end of the session, participants will understand how to build a unified approval solution that improves efficiency, accelerates approval cycles, enforces compliance, and enhances the user experience across customer and opportunity management processes.
