## Getting Started with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Integration with Oracle Demantra Products

This chapter provides an overview of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Integration with Oracle Demantra products.

### Understanding JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Integration with Oracle Demantra Products

The Oracle Demantra Demand Management product provides access to historical sales data, returns, and other reference data organized into multiple hierarchies that reflect the needs of the organization. An underlying spreadsheet provides a set of calculated (and entered) values that you can use at any hierarchical level.

Integration between Oracle Demantra products and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne leverages the functionality of the Oracle Demantra Foundation product to the greatest extent possible, and it is supported through the use of a series of batch processes. Booking history, price list, currency, calendars, users, and items collected from JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications are loaded into an intermediate file structure. Then, the Oracle Demantra products use a series of workflows to import these intermediate files into the Oracle Demantra data model. This model enables you to augment JD Edwards EnterpriseOne data and to supply additional forecast-specific information within the Oracle Demantra products. For example, Oracle Demantra products generate and approve forecasts within Oracle Demantra Demand Management. This process can be iterative, and it enables you to intervene manually before the forecast is finalized. At this point, the Oracle Demantra system extracts the forecast to the intermediate file structure, and then imports the forecast into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne data model of the existing forecast table.

To integrate Oracle Demantra products with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne products, both systems require modifications to enable the transfer of data between them. The next chapter details these required modifications.

In the planning phase of the implementation, take advantage of all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne sources of information, including the installation guides and troubleshooting information. A complete list of these resources appears in the preface in About This Documentation with information about where to find the most current version of each.

When determining which electronic software updates (ESUs) to install for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Scheduling Execution, use the EnterpriseOne and World Change Assistant. EnterpriseOne and World Change Assistant, a Java-based tool, reduces the time required to search and download ESUs by 75 percent or more and enables you to install multiple ESUs at one time.
