Explore C&A Technology’s Q3 2026 updates, enhancements, and planned features across our JD Edwards products. This quarter’s development focused on migration configuration, upgrade documentation, comparison tools, and database analysis.

Migration processing and table management
- Updated the record update logic to modify only mapped columns.
- Added the ability to build tables using JD Edwards table definitions.
- Added source connection retry handling when a communication failure occurs during a migration run.
- Added an option to populate null columns with blanks or zeros.
- Corrected column default settings when creating tables without prefixes.
- Added automated table and index creation when building migration scripts.
Migration planning and configuration
- Added a table listing review report, with options to build table listings from the report.
- Added analysis of tables above a user-defined record count threshold to help identify tables for splitting across table listings.
- Added the ability to copy data migration definitions in bulk.
- Introduced tabbed configuration screens, providing more vertical space to display settings.
- Added filters to configuration tabs to simplify management of large configuration sets.
- Improved readability by displaying running process counts with thousands separators.
- Added a timing analysis report that uses selected previous migrations and current table row counts to forecast migration timings.
Email notifications
- Updated email configuration to support OAuth2 credential management and Gmail or Office 365 HTTP sending methods. This supports notifications in environments that restrict external SMTP access.
Documentation and query analysis
- Added the ability to select a single object and generate documentation for its related objects.
- Added Query Analysis to extract user-defined object (UDO) queries and review data selections across multiple queries.
- Added Compare Queries to extract UDO queries from two connections and generate a report of their differences.
EnterpriseOne upgrade support
- RICE Update Object Completion: Reads the Object Librarian and updates the existing RICE list with the date, user, and development project for objects at Promote status.
- Validate System Codes: Generates a report of Object Librarian system codes and allows users to mark objects requiring corrections.
- Fix System Codes: Reads the reviewed System Codes report and corrects the marked objects.
- Review Merge Options: Generates a report of object merge options from the Object Librarian.
- Update Merge Options Report from RICE: Reads migration and development settings from the RICE list and updates the Merge Options report.
- Update E1 Merge Options from Report: Applies new merge codes to EnterpriseOne objects marked for update in the Merge Options report.
- Update RICE List DSTR from Parent Object: Identifies the processing option data structure used by a parent application or batch report and aligns its RICE status and Copy/Mod settings with the parent object.
- Bulk RICE List Code Review: Provides an interactive review of objects requiring analysis. Users can open the related CAT-Doc documentation, determine development and customization requirements, and update the RICE list directly.
- Generate RICE List Estimate: Creates a development estimate from objects marked with Develop status.
CAT-DB Analyzer — Version 3.03
- Added the ability to paste a list of tables directly into the tool for analysis.
- Added a Column Analysis Rollup report that identifies columns matching a specified list of column aliases and performs minimum, maximum, and count analysis across the corresponding tables. This supports a consolidated review of data ranges and volumes within a database.
CAT-Unit Test — Version 1.00
- Added support for data selections on called reports, allowing users to create more focused test scripts.
CAT Toolkit Foundation

- Added separate storage for each local cache build to simplify data versioning.
- Moved cache build progress reporting into the application, replacing the popup status bar.
- Added support for parallel cache builds to help shorten the overall comparison process.
- Added report history tracking, with each report run recorded for later review.
CAT-Data Selection Compare — Version 2.00
- Redesigned the interface with configurations grouped into tabs by type for easier navigation and data management.
- Rebuilt the application to meet updated CAT Toolkit framework standards.
- Added reusable connection settings that are independent of locally cached data.
- Added separate storage for each local cache build to simplify data versioning.
- Integrated cache build status reporting directly into the application.
- Added support for parallel cache builds to help shorten the overall comparison process.
- Added a history table to track report runs for later review.
CAT-Udc Compare — Version 2.00
- Introduced a tabbed interface that groups configurations by type and simplifies data management.
- Rebuilt the application to meet updated CAT Toolkit framework standards.
- Separated connection settings from locally cached data so connections can be reused.
- Added separate storage for each local cache build to simplify data versioning.
- Integrated cache build progress reporting directly into the application.

CAT Product Roadmap (Planned but not confirmed)
CAT-Migrator
- Process batches – Group process definitions into repeatable batches with queues for single-threaded and multithreaded operations. This is intended to help teams run migration processes in the correct sequence during testing and go-live preparation.
- Multiple Outputs from a single source – Allow one source table or query to feed multiple destinations without reprocessing the source separately for each output.
CAT-Doc
Expand documentation and comparison capabilities to include:
- Composed Pages.
- Orchestrations and related UDOs.
- Grid Formats.
- Form Personalizations.
- Form Extensions.
CAT-Comparison Toolkit
- Continue work toward a unified interface across CAT comparison tools to simplify adoption and use.
CAT-Processing Option Compare
- Add the ability to generate comparison lists by Object Management Workbench (OMW) project to support upgrades and development projects.
CAT-Data Selection Compare
- Add the ability to generate comparison lists by OMW project to support upgrades and development projects.
CAT-Stat
- Add XML List/Call testing to check system connectivity and identify business function (BSFN) kernel issues.
- Add a Historical transaction viewer
- Add an issues browser
CAT-Object Analyzer
- Add the ability to generate CAT’s standard RICE list document.
CAT-Unit Test
- Extend data selection support for scripted batch reports (UBEs).
