Oracle Open World 2011 was mainly dominated by Exalogic. Exalogic is hardware and software engineered together to provide extreme performance for Java applications, Oracle Applications, and all other enterprise applications.

And yes, now Oracle is also offering Oracle Fusion Applications HCM and CRM in the Cloud!

The Attachment Framework is available within PeopleSoft for use with several vanilla parts. However, users usually want more places where attachments can be added to functionality. At this point technical people can be glad Application Packages are implemented into PeopleSoft these days, and moreover, that Oracle put the Attachment Framework into these objects.

As an example the usage of personal dossiers can be brought up. A breakdown of functional areas where all relevant documents of an employee can be placed in. Accessible for the employee and in some cases maybe for their manager or team secretary. In order to get something like this going I would need a record where the documents can be stored, a page where users can use this functionality and the Attachment Framework packages. A lot more functionality can be thought of to incorporate into something like this, but the basics are just this.

With PeopleTools you have the ability to create pagelets using the Pagelet Wizard. Pagelet Wizard pagelets, also known to the rest of the world as portlets, are small pages that provide display-only snapshots of applicable content which can be placed on the PeopleSoft Homepage. With the Pagelet Wizard you can create a variety of pagelets:

• HTML
• IB Connector
• Integration Broker
• Navigation Collections
• OBIEE Report
• PeopleSoft Query
• Rowset
• Search record
• URL

This post describes how you can get more control in formatting and setting up your HTML pagelets.
