Upgrading Information: Repository

If you are upgrading from an Insight® version prior to v9.0.0, you will need to upgrade to the latest v8.1.11 upgrade build prior to upgrading to this current release. If you are upgrading from any version of Insight®, please note that Insight 2012.1 SP1 requires a new license key. You will need to obtain a new License Key from Customer Services. Once this is received, please perform a replace in order to retain your License Assignments. For more information on upgrading, please refer to the v9 upgrade document or contact your Customer Support office. Prior to upgrading, please make sure your Insight Object Repository is backed up (using your current Administration Application). This backup is essential for all types of installs, whether you are installing this version in parallel with an existing previous version or, alternatively, as a new stand alone installation. Any upgrade to 2012.1 SP1 requires a new repository to be created. All previous repositories from V9.0.x and above used Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. Insight 2012.1 SP1 now requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. Therefore if upgrading from V9.0.x or higher you will need to backup your current production repository and then restore into a new repository created in 2012.1 SP1. This must be done in order to be able to login to the 2012.1 SP1 version.

Download Microsoft .NET 4.0 (Full Client): http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851

Upgrading Information: Budgeting For clients with budgeting repositories, it is required to take a backup of the budgeting library/database/schema prior to upgrading. If you are upgrading from an Insight version prior to 2012.1, Insight requires a new budgeting database to be created. All previous budgeting databases from V9.0.x and above used Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. Insight 2012.1 and 2012.1 SP1 now require Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. For more information on upgrading your budgeting database, please contact your Customer Support office.

We released these new Modules and Templates with 2012.1 which have been available as of February 2012. However, as a recap for many of our customers, we are providing the information here once again.

New Modules

Advanced Pricing (APR)

A new module, Advanced Pricing, has been added to Insight Reporting. Advanced Pricing for Sales Order Management in JD Edwards supports the business critical aspect of pricing the products sold by a business. Because of the flexibility and power of Advanced Pricing in JD Edwards, the configuration in this module is often highly complex and can also be performance intensive. Insight’s Advanced Pricing Module provides its users with the ability to rapidly view and understand the configurations that exist within JD Edwards. Using the visibility into pricing configurations provided by templates such as Pricing Schedules, Price Adjustment Details and Complex Group Analysis templates, users will be able to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of their pricing rules. In addition, because users can more rapidly understand their pricing configurations, performance can be improved more easily. Finally, the Insight module provides a template focused on Price History that will allow for analysis of the sales transactions impacted by advanced pricing configurations.

Grower Management (GM)

The Grower Management Module has been added to Insight Reporting. This module is used in JD Edwards to manage businesses that grow and/or purchase agricultural products. The module provides its users with information about the Farms, Blocks and Harvests where these products are grown, as well as the activities required to produce harvests. Templates have been created in Insight to provide visibility into entities such as Contracts, End Use Reservations (EUR), Farms and Blocks.

New Template

Master Data (MD)

Payroll AAIs: Template provides access to Payroll AAI table. (F06904)

For complete information on the new Modules and Templates offered within Insight, please refer to the Release Notes for 2012.1. Link provided below:

Now if you have activated the Capability 'Show Apply Model Warning',

the user is prompted with this warning when they exit Enter Budget mode.

A new capability has been added to allow the 'Show Browse Table' icon to be turned OFF for users that have a DXD license so sensitive data will not be displayed.
