This pivotal role blends deep technical execution with strategic leadership across four core disciplines: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (JDE E1), IBM Integration technologies, Cloud Architecture, and emerging Artificial Intelligence practices.\nThe ideal candidate is not a bystander manager - they roll up their sleeves, architect solutions, and directly contribute to development, configuration, and administration while simultaneously guiding a team of engineers and analysts. You thrive in fast-paced environments, absorb new technologies at exceptional speed, and champion a culture of continuous innovation.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\nOperational Leadership & Team Management\nLead, mentor, and manage a cross-functional team of developers, CNC administrators, integration engineers, and cloud architects.\nDefine operational KPIs, SLAs, and delivery roadmaps for all enterprise platform areas.\nDrive Agile/DevOps delivery practices including sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives.\nAct as escalation point for critical incidents and ensure timely resolution with root-cause analysis.\nPartner with business stakeholders, functional analysts, and C-suite to translate business needs into technology solutions.\nJD Edwards EnterpriseOne -

from current-release assessment and gap analysis through to production cutover - including major application releases (e.g., 9.0 to 9.2) and incremental Application Service Packs (ASPs).\nPlan and execute JDE Tools Release upgrades (e.g., TR 9.2.x.x series): download and stage ESU/ASU bundles from Oracle Update Center, run the Tools Release installer on Enterprise and HTML Web Servers, validate planner and spec merge, and post-upgrade regression test all critical business objects.\nManage the full Application Service Update (ASU) and Electronic Software Update (ESU) lifecycle: evaluate Oracle support patches, assess object conflicts using the Object Management Workbench (OMW) conflict checker, apply updates through Change Management, and produce post-apply validation reports.\nPerform and document pre-upgrade checklist activities: hardware and OS prerequisite validation, Oracle Database version compatibility matrix review, JVM and WebLogic/JBoss version alignment, disk capacity planning, and backup verification.\nCoordinate co-existence environments during upgrade cycles - maintaining multiple tools release levels across DV, PY, and PD path codes to support parallel development, QA testing, and production stability simultaneously.\nPerform deep CNC administration across all JDE server tiers: Enterprise Server (Logic Server), HTML Web Server, Deployment Server, and Batch Processing / UBE Server on both Linux (RHEL / Oracle Linux) and Windows Server platforms.\nProvision, configure, and maintain JDE environments from scratch: stand up new logic server instances, configure jde.ini / jdbj.ini / jas.ini, define server maps, configure ports and JMX monitoring, and register environments in the Server Manager Management Console (SMMC).\nAdminister the Deployment Server: manage path codes (PRISTINE, DEMO, DV733, PY733, PD733, and custom path codes), configure package build INI settings, maintain the Central Objects business data source, and control check-in/check-out workflows in OMW.\nExecute full package builds - both Full and Partial packages - including: setting package build definitions, resolving spec merge errors, monitoring Package Assembly and Deploy logs, managing the deployment queue, and validating successful client and server package deployment.\nConfigure and manage JDE Change Management: define environments and path codes, set up promotion paths (DV -> PY -> PD), govern Object Librarian (OL) projects, manage OMW user roles and activity rules, and enforce promotion approval workflows.\nAdminister JDE Security: configure Application Security (Action, Row, Column, Tab, Version security), Orchestrator token-based security, Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML/LDAP integration, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) aligned with SOX and audit requirements.\nManage the JDE Scheduler: configure and monitor UBE job queues, set host and subsystem job priorities, tune concurrent job limits, diagnose stuck/failed jobs, and manage batch version control and interactive server routing.\nMonitor and tune JDE system performance: analyze HTML Server heap dumps and GC logs, tune JVM parameters (Xmx/Xms/MaxPermSize), review logic server kernel configuration, diagnose slow UBE execution, and optimize jde.log / jdedebug.log verbosity and rotation policies.\nLead new JDE environment provisioning projects end-to-end: requirements scoping, server sizing, OS-level prerequisite configuration, Oracle DB schema creation, JDE Planner installation, workbench environment setup, and handoff to development or QA teams.\nBuild and configure additional path codes for specialized purposes (e.g., RETROFIT, TRAINING, UAT, REPORT-DEV) - including creating new business data sources, system data sources, and object librarian data sources, and configuring server map entries accordingly.\nEstablish and maintain Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity (BCP) environments: configure replication or restore procedures for Enterprise Server, Deployment Server, and Oracle databases; document and periodically test failover runbooks.\nAdminister Oracle Database (versions 12c, 19c, and 21c) supporting JDE EnterpriseOne on both Oracle Linux / RHEL and Windows Server platforms - including installation, patching (PSU/CPU/RU), listener configuration, and TNS connectivity.\nManage JDE-specific Oracle DB objects: Central Objects (COCTL), Business Data, Control Tables, and Versions data sources - including tablespace sizing, index management, and regular schema statistics gathering (ANALYZE / DBMS_STATS) to ensure query plan stability.\nPerform Oracle DBA tasks in support of JDE operations: export/import using DataPump (expdp/impdp) for environment refreshes, RMAN backup and restore, Flashback operations, AWR and ADDM performance report analysis, and deadlock/latch contention investigation via V$ views.\nTune Oracle SQL performance for JDE: review execution plans using EXPLAIN PLAN and SQL Trace / TKPROF, identify and resolve full table scans on high-volume JDE tables (F0911, F4211, F43121 etc.), create or rebuild indexes, and gather optimizer statistics on schedule.\nConfigure and manage Oracle Data Guard or Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters) to provide high availability for JDE production database tiers on Linux; manage redo log shipping, standby switchover/failover procedures, and TAF (Transparent Application Failover) settings.\nAdminister Oracle networking on Linux: configure tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, sqlnet.ora; manage Oracle Wallet for encrypted database connections; and control OS-level oracle user permissions, ulimits, and kernel parameter tuning (shmmax, semaphores, open file limits).\nManage Oracle databases on Windows Server: configure Oracle Windows Services, OracleDBConsole, NTFS permission structures for Oracle homes, Windows Scheduler tasks for backup jobs, and Event Log integration for Oracle alert log monitoring.\nPerform periodic JDE database health checks: purge JDE log tables (F9861, jdeDebug), archive obsolete versions, compress historic business data, and manage tablespace free-space thresholds with proactive alerting.\nIBM Integration -
