'''Configurable Network Computing''' or '''CNC''' is [[JD Edwards]]'s (JDE) [[client–server]] proprietary architecture and methodology. Now a division of the [[Oracle Corporation]], Oracle continues to sponsor the ongoing development of the [[JD Edwards]] [[Enterprise Resource Planning]] ([[Enterprise resource planning|ERP]]) system, While highly flexible, the CNC architecture is [[wikt: proprietary|proprietary]] and, as such, it cannot be exported to any other systems. While the CNC architecture's chief 'Claim to fame', insulation of applications from the underlying database and operating systems, were largely superseded by modern web-based technology, nevertheless CNC technology continues to be at the heart of both JD Edwards' One World and Enterprise One architecture and willis planned to play a significant role Oracle's developing ''fusion architecture'' initiative.<ref>[http://www.oracle.com/applications/fusion.html Oracle Fusion Information URL]</ref> While a proprietary architecture, CNC is neither an Oracle nor JDE product offering. The term CNC also refers to the systems analysts who install, maintain, manage and enhance this architecture. CNC's are also one of the three technical areas in the JD Edwards [[Enterprise Resource Planning]] [[Enterprise resource planning|ERP]] which include developer/report writer and functional/business analysts.
 
==The CNC architecture==
Line 18:
 
====Multi-foundation capability====
Another strength of JD Edwards is its multi-foundation architecture. This means that one can create separate instances of JDE on different Tools Releases and isolate these releases from each other. This is doneachieved by creating a separate set of system folders for the other foundation. In the main configuration file of the applications or enterprise server, JDE.ini, the incoming and outgoing ports are changed to a different one than the other foundation, so if one foundation had port 6015, then the alternate could use 6016. Also, the client-side tools release folder is installed on the deployment server and the system administrator uses the JDE Planner or installation environment to define another foundation. Subsequent full packages can then be pointed to using this different foundation.
 
===Weaknesses in the CNC architecture===

==CNC-related functions==
{{Original research|section|date=August 2024}}
The CNC function entails a number of responsibilities or functions. Large companies may have an entire staff of CNCs, some working on security, others software change management which deploy changes in the JDE ERP system through the various stages of development, testing, and production. Other CNCs will troubleshoot performance issues, others will work on batch process automatization and finally, a Senior CNC will manage the entire group and, in that capacity, will often function as the chief JDE systems architect.

==CNC training==
{{Original research|section|date=August 2024}}
Because of the scope of the CNC functionality, the CNC function requires intensive training.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.jdetips.com/WorkshopCatalog.asp |title=JD Edwards Training Catalog for World and EnterpriseOne Clients from JDEtips<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2007-09-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070820153403/http://www.jdetips.com/WorkshopCatalog.asp |archive-date=2007-08-20 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Oracle JD Edwards manages the officially required coursework, but many JDE business partners also offer training. A frequent criticism of CNC training is that far too many trainers and the syllabuses that they employ are so complicated as to be almost indecipherable to an incoming novice. The training is couched in techno-speak: terms such as ''path code'', ''environment'', OCM mappings are bantered about with overlapping and circular explanations that leave novices and introductory CNC students quite confused.{{Citation needed|date=March 2015}} As of 2000, there is no official certification program. A typical list of classes is as follows:
* Common Foundation – The common end-user JDE experience<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.coursemonster.co.uk/course/16265/|title = IT Training Courses &#124; IT Certifications &#124; CourseMonster}}</ref>
Line 115 ⟶ 117:
* Development Tools Parts 1 and 2 - The use of the JDE software Report Design Aid, Table Design Aid, and other object development tools
* Optional training - Report writing and other development tools and functional business training (how the business processes affect the design and implementation of JDE ERP)
 
==Oracle's CNC certification program==
After more than a decade of discussion, Oracle has resurrected a JDE-CNC certification program.
