(Neil Pugh and Jeff Erickson – Oracle)
Neil Pugh and Jeff Erickson of Oracle really focused on that strong message of automation and simplification.
Below is the JDE roadmap to date.
What’s Planned to come?
Simplification of Development Client:
The plan is to do away with the thick client for development (about the 10 minute mark in the presentation):
- Thin development client with centralized database
- Developers can develop anywhere, anytime – access to changes from any client
- Eliminates mandatory check in and backup
- Significant reduction in client package build time
Automated Troubleshooting for Kernel Failures (about 11 minutes into presentation): This is already in use internally by Oracle, and they are planning to make it available to everyone:
It was pointed out that many of the updates and enhancements here are driven by SIQ requests which can be seen in the Tech SIQ requests image.
As mentioned before, there was a focus on JDE in the cloud, as shown in the roadmap in the following graphic:
Apparently, the Trial Edition (which was likened to Demo Junior and apparently will always be latest release) can be provisioned in 45 minutes. The learning path for this can be found here

In this presentation Oracle mentioned that there will be a time that Oracle will support only 64-bit. Please get in touch with us if you are on 32 bit, so that we can help you to plan for a switch.
Here are the Road Maps presented in this presentation:
Note: Automated testing is planned for Orchestrator
