PeopleSoft and RSS feeds
Since PeopleSoft is an Internet architecture one suspects that it should support the commonly used RSS feeds that are available through internet. And guess what: it does!
Let me show you by adding the RSS feed of my favorite soccer club (http://rssfeeds.headliner.nl/rssfeeds/az/feed.xml).
Go to PeopleTools > Portal > Pagelet Wizard and add a new value. In the first step, specify a title and a meaningful description (might be the hardest part):
Watch out: your colleague is ‘stealing’ your code!
Imagine this; you open your recently saved project in PeopleSoft Application Designer and…all of your precious code has vanished!
Your first thought might be “Well at last something exciting is finally happening on my (in general boring) office jobs!”. And your second thought should be “What the **** happened to my precious peoplecode!?”.
Setting dependencies between PeopleSoft views
Sometimes you want to create a view in PeopleSoft which is based on another view.
Example:
View 1 (named PS_LOCKED_USR_VW) is defined as follows:
SELECT OPRID FROM PSOPRDEFN WHERE ACCTLOCK = 1;
View 2 (named PS_GET_LOCKED_NAME_VW) is defined as follows:
SELECT A.NAME FROM PS_PERSON_NAME A, PS_LOCKED_USR_VW B WHERE A.EMPLID = B.EMPLID;
When creating views using the createvw.dms script (or the REPLACE_VIEW * command from Data Mover) the situation above creates an error, because Data Mover is building views in alphabetic order. This means that views PS_GET_LOCKED_NAME_VW is built before view PS_LOCKED_USR_VW and goes into error.
A new years post.
We hope you all enjoyed the Holiday season and are now fully rested and energized for a great 2008. We certainly want to thank all of you for your continued support, contributions and comments to this blog, and the authors of this blog look forward to publishing a quite a few new and interesting posts over the coming year.
As for myself my client has kept me pretty busy building feeder programs, concurrent programs, staging tables and as the year closed transferring data from flat files to the apps financial interface tables. Therefore I haven’t gotten around to blogging much. I still have some more BIPublisher pitfalls, suggestions and comments that I would like to share with you as well as some other interesting stuff.
So stay tuned to this blog.
PeopleSoft upgrade: a job well done!
Upgrading from one version of PeopleSoft to another one is a complex job. This post gives an overview for a practice case of an upgrade from HRMS v8.3 to HCM v8.9 for three individual hospitals, located in different area’s but with a co-working system.
A mixed team of people from both technical and functional backgrounds from Logica was appointed to fulfill this task.The RFP consisted of a number of guarantees that we were required to give to the client. It also included that the hospitals would like to complete the upgrade within a specified period of time.
