c) Select the Planner DataSource
d) For each DataSource that had its database moved, modify the following fields.
i) Database Server Name
ii) ODBC DataSource
e) After modifying the DataSource, you will be prompted to create the ODBC. You only need to create the ODBC for the first DataSource. The same ODBC will be reused after that.
f) Exit out of the planner database
g) Select the System DataSource and repeat the above steps.
h) Select the Server Map DataSource and repeat the above steps.

General Information about ESUs
A1 - What is an ESU?Answer - An ESU (Electronic Software Update) is a downloadable package addressing issues reported in a specific SAR. The package is delivered in a self-extracting executable program and must be merged into the appropriate EnterpriseOne environment. The ESU merge process is similar to the one run during an upgrade or update (although very short in comparison), and requires the use of the deployment server. When an ESU is installed, the objects included in that ESU will be merged into the environment into which it is installed. The Spec Merge (R98700) report is run and merges the information into a path code on the deployment server. The specification merge report will list replaced and changed objects. The final step is to create a package and deploy the package to the workstations. Test the ESU before deploying the objects to the production environment. Custom code will need to be retrofitted.
A2 - How is an ESU installed?Answer - The appropriate ESU is found by using either the SAR Search capability, the EnterpriseOne and World Change Assistant, or the Update Center in the Customer Connection. To find a solution to a specific problem, begin with SAR search. When a SAR that addresses the issue is found, click on the SAR number in the search Results List to see detailed information about that SAR. Click on “Show/Hide Detailed Document Information” to find additional SAR detail. If an ESU exists for this SAR, the ESU number.exe appears in the Code Change field. Click on this link to access the Update Center to download the ESU using the Download Manager. If the ESU or SAR number is already known, or a listing of all ESUs completed after a specific date is desired, begin with the Update Center. If you see the caution symbol next to the ESU number, click the icon and read the attached text which provides additional information about the ESU. To download the ESU, click the box to the left of the ESU number and then click "Add to Downloads." This will load the ESU in the Download Manager. The first time Update Center is used to download an ESU, the user will be prompted to download a JAVA applet that is necessary for the Download Manager to work. The e-mail address provided by the user is used only to notify the user of an issue discovered with a software update that the user has downloaded
