ARCTOOLS Optimizing JD Edwards through data management
ARCTOOLS ensures optimal ERP performance by enabling
companies to quickly and efficiently purge and archive
excess data.
As application data grows, ERP systems slow down. End-user productivity is reduced and IT
resources become stretched to the limit as regular tasks such as database back-ups and maintenance
take longer to perform. This costs your business time and money.
ARCTOOLS solves this problem by quickly and easily allowing you to identify and purge unneeded
data and to transfer historical data to an easily accessible archive environment.
Purging and archiving delivers tangible cost-savings. The benefits can be seen not just in terms of
storage space but also in terms of better use of system and human resources. It will also make your
path to upgrade easier.

The Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update – June 2011
The Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update – June 2011 was
released on June 7th, 2011. Oracle strongly recommends applying
the patches as soon as possible.
The Critical Patch Update Advisory is the starting point for
relevant information. It includes the list of products affected, a
summary of the security vulnerabilities, and a pointer to obtain the
latest releases and patches. Supported products that are not listed in the “Supported
Products Affected” section of the advisory do not require new patches to be applied.
Also, it is essential to review the Critical Patch Update supporting documentation
referenced in the Advisory before applying patches, as this is where you can find important
pertinent information.
The Advisory is available at the following location:
