Ask Denovo - Tips & Tricks - The Cross Reference

Did you know EnterpriseOne (all versions from Xe to 9.2) has a Cross Reference? This tool is used to find out information about where specific objects are used and how they are used. You can also review relationships between objects and their components. This Cross Reference is built via R980011. Once this build is done, you can open the Cross Reference via the Fast Path "XREF" or via the application P980011. Oracle has a very thorough document on the Cross Reference in Doc 626128.1. This document also has great tips for running the job such as needing to run it locally on a dev client, when checking Task Manager and it may say Not Responding which is normal and should not cause you to terminate the process, and that the build itself can take anywhere from 3 hours to a day and a half (or more) to build and take around 5GB of space.  

If you use XREF today and want to share your story in a future "Ask Denovo" posting, let us know!
