Configuring customer defined fields (CE)

Step 1. Activate the CDF feature.
  1. Start the Customer Defined Fields Parameters (ttadv4590m000) session.
  2. Select CDF Active and click OK.
Step 2. Define customer defined fields.

Define customer defined fields in one of these ways:

  • Use the Customer Defined Fields option in the View menu of an already started session.

  • Use the Customer Defined Fields (ttadv4591m000) session.

    If you want to create customer defined fields of type ‘List’, specify the lists and their constants in the Lists (ttadv4592m000) and List Constants (ttadv4593m000) sessions.

Step 3. Convert to runtime.
  1. Start the Manage Operational Status (ttmtm3501m000) session.

  2. Click Admin Only to switch the environment to Admin only mode.

    In this mode, normal users can no longer log on to the environment. Users that were already logged on are forcedly logged off.

  3. Start the Convert to Runtime Data Dictionary (ttadv5215m000) session. Convert the customer defined fields and the related domains to the runtime data dictionary.

  4. To actualize the related domain and table definition changes, reinitialize the shared memory:
    1. Log off.

    2. Wait for two minutes, so that the shared memory can be stopped correctly.

    3. Log on again. The shared memory is reinitialized.

      Do not stop the logon process by closing the browser (tab) during the logon process. You must wait until the LN menu is visible.

  5. Start the Manage Operational Status (ttmtm3501m000) session.
  6. Click Bring Online to bring the environment online again, so that normal users can log on again.
Note

If you use the DEM Content Pack with Infor LN, consider using the MIT0200 (Customer Defined Fields) wizard to set up Customer Defined Fields. You can execute this predefined wizard from the Wizards by Project Model (tgwzr4502m000) session after you specified the business function model for your company.
