Using Snapshot to switch between different versions of JDEdwards® EnterpriseOne® is not without its little issues:

• The shortcuts are all pointing to different folders, making it hard to find the correct one, plus easy - to run the wrong one, screwing up half of the configuration;
• Snapshot does not restore all registry settings properly, causing innumerable (and different from release to release) issues;
• There's only one PATH variable, making it easy to run wrong executables (e.g.: UTB is started from FastPath using the "first found" copy of the EXE) or to load wrong DLL's, again causing more grief.

OneExplorer rectifies all three issues above:

• The only icon you will need to use from now on is OneExplorer itself, the rest you can delete from your desktop;
• When starting up, OneExplorer fixes any registry settings missed by Snapshot;
• Next, it corrects the PATH variable and then
• It starts up the correct version of JDEdwards® EnterpriseOne® - the one, which was activated with Snapshot last.

These are the main effects of using this solution:

• No more "Memory Violations" on startup *);
• No issues with OMW functionality - usual with snapshot'ed versions *);
• No more issues with running UTB or RDA, etc. *)
• No need to check the currently active version of JDEdwards® EnterpriseOne® and waste time finding the correct icon to start it up;
• Clean up your Windows® desktop from the now unnecessary numerous copies of JDEdwards® EnterpriseOne® icons.

Note: OneExplorer does not replace Snapshot. It's used after switching between OW installations with Snapshot, to start the correct version of OW and fix certain issues, caused by Snapshot.

Installation instructions: Unzip the executable and either place it on your Windows® desktop, or place it anywhere on your computer and create a shortcut on your Windows® desktop, pointing to the actual executable. To un-install, delete the executable (and any shortcuts pointing to it).

*) - at least, no more than usual with a single installation of JDEdwards® EnterpriseOne® - this tool does not fix all possible issues, it only helps to alleviate some of the issues, commonly caused by Snapshot.
