Maintenance of objects in ARIS 7.1

During the use of ARIS, the designers and architects has sometimes unexpected problems using the objects and models. When they make models, a lot of different objects were used. Not only objects in their own domain, but also objects defined by other modelers and somewhere stored in the repository on the server. Even new objects were made beside the same objects, so the same object could stand more than once in the repository. Using these objects create sometimes smaller of bigger problems. In this article the most asked questions about the use of objects will be answered, like disappeared objects, disappeared text in objects, the use of objects in the repository and the consolidation of the objects.

And there are a lot of WOW’s. But do they come of the box or do you have to put a  lot effort  to get them available to the user when you are upgrading from an earlier version?
Here I’ll give an overview about what Oracle says about some of these, so you can get an idea.

Release Value Proposition for PeopleTools 8.51

After the long-awaited and quite revolutionarily PeopleTools 8.50, Oracle announced PeopleTools 8.51. With this release Oracle will enhance PeopleTools and add some new features that will be a great markup for PeopleSoft in general.

Here are some snippets from the RVP, which I think will have a great added value to the PeopleSoft application.

Generic prompting PeopleTools 8.50

As of PeopleTools 8.50, Oracle introduced Generic Prompting for process definitions. With this feature the creation of runcontrol pages has become obsolete.   PeopleBooks describes the ability of Generic Prompting, but does not give an example how to achieve this, nor does DMO provided an example.

This post describes the steps needed to get Generic Prompting working properly.

Integration PeopleSoft – JobPartners ActiveRecruiter

Active Recruiter  is an Applicant Tracking System. In this case I discuss using the application for internal job application. The manager posts a concept vacancy in PeopleSoft HCM MSS. The concept vacancy only consists of some elementary data ( the department, the details of the manager, the amount of people needed, the amount of weekly hours, a jobcode, a unique identifier of the vacancy and ther closing date). But does not contain the job description or de demands. After the concept-vacancy is approved further up the organization (using PeopleSoft workflow), the concept vacancy is sent to ActiveRecruiter by means of SOAP messaging. There is a link on PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal which leads the manager to the ActiveRecruiter application with Single Signon, where he can finish the concept into a complete vacancy. There is another link on the PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal which leads an employee to the ActiveRecruiter application with single signon, where he can apply on the job. ActiveRecruiter is an external application, hosted by JobPartners.
