JD Edwards CNC – Roles and Res ponsibilities Posted on January 28, 2016 by NIMISH
CNC, which literally stands for Configurable Network Computing, is a term used to refer to JD Edwards System Architects. CNCs form one of the three technical areas of expertise (and probably the most techsavvy people) in JD Edwards ERP. CNCs are responsible for installation, configuration, management, maintenance and enhancement of JD Edwards ERP architecture.

CNCs play an extremely critical role in JDE. Based on the business requirement CNCs are supposed to design an architecture for setting up JDE ERP. The architectural design primarily includes determining number of servers required, system specifications for these servers, operating

systems to be used, determine best suitable RDBMS, choose the best suitable web server, determine the ports that will be used, etc. Once this is determined and finalized, CNCs proceed with setting up the ERP (which is a complex process in itself).

and . Applying patches & bug fixes (ESUs), deploying changes, regular checkups & maintenance activities, upgrading ERP, etc are some of the activities which are taken care of by the CNCs. When an ERP is setup, CNCs have the most privileged access to the system and they define the security setup for the end s. Based on how SOD is defined, this access might be later revoked partially. Basically CNCs run the show but are always from the backstage. Considering the criticality of the role of CNCs, their is ideally required on a 24×7 basis. Sounds cool, doesn’t it? But with greater power comes greater responsibilities. So if you are planning to become a CNC, here’s a list of responsibilities you should be ready to handle with ease.
