Overview

You can use the Cantara Administration Console to run a function that exists in your JDE environment.

The following details are returned when you run a function:

  • Function Response: The data that the JDE server returns.

  • JDE Transaction: The data that is being transmitted between the Cantara Server and the JDE server.
