Just a SQL quick-tip for an overview of all the objects in your project.

This is one possible SQL statement to get the PeopleSoft objects from your PeopleSoft project:

SELECT (CASE OBJECTTYPE WHEN 0 THEN 'Record'
WHEN 1 THEN 'Index'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Field'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Field Format'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Translate Value'
WHEN 5 THEN 'Pages'
WHEN 6 THEN 'Menus'
WHEN 7 THEN 'Components'
WHEN 8 THEN 'Record PeopleCode'
WHEN 9 THEN 'Menu PeopleCode'
WHEN 10 THEN 'Query'
WHEN 11 THEN 'Tree Structures'
WHEN 12 THEN 'Trees'
WHEN 13 THEN 'Access group'
WHEN 14 THEN 'Color'
WHEN 15 THEN 'Style'
WHEN 16 THEN 'N/A'
WHEN 17 THEN 'Business process'
WHEN 18 THEN 'Activity'
WHEN 19 THEN 'Role'
WHEN 20 THEN 'Process Definition'

WHEN 23 THEN 'Job Definitions'
WHEN 24 THEN 'Recurrence Definition'
WHEN 25 THEN 'Message Catalog'
WHEN 26 THEN 'Dimension'
WHEN 27 THEN 'Cube Definitions'
WHEN 28 THEN 'Cube Instance Definitions'
WHEN 29 THEN 'Business Interlink'
WHEN 30 THEN 'SQL'
WHEN 31 THEN 'File Layout Definition'
WHEN 32 THEN 'Component Interfaces'
WHEN 33 THEN 'AE program'
WHEN 34 THEN 'AE section'
WHEN 35 THEN 'Message Node'
WHEN 36 THEN 'Message Channel'
WHEN 37 THEN 'Message'
WHEN 38 THEN 'Approval rule set'
WHEN 39 THEN 'Message PeopleCode'
WHEN 40 THEN 'Subscription PeopleCode'
WHEN 41 THEN 'N/A'
WHEN 42 THEN 'Component Interface PeopleCode'
WHEN 43 THEN 'AE PeopleCode'
WHEN 44 THEN 'Page PeopleCode'
WHEN 45 THEN 'Page Field PeopleCode'
WHEN 46 THEN 'Component PeopleCode'
WHEN 47 THEN 'Component Record PeopleCode'
WHEN 48 THEN 'Component Rec Fld PeopleCode'
WHEN 49 THEN 'Image'
WHEN 50 THEN 'Style sheet'
WHEN 51 THEN 'HTML'
WHEN 52 THEN 'Not used'
WHEN 53 THEN 'Permission List'
WHEN 54 THEN 'Portal Registry Definitions'
WHEN 55 THEN 'Portal Registry Structures'
WHEN 56 THEN 'URL Definitions'
WHEN 57 THEN 'Application Packages'
WHEN 58 THEN 'Application Package Peoplecode'
WHEN 59 THEN 'Portal Registry User Homepage'
WHEN 60 THEN 'Problem Type'
WHEN 61 THEN 'Archive Templates'
WHEN 62 THEN 'XSLT'
WHEN 63 THEN 'Portal Registry User Favorite'
WHEN 64 THEN 'Mobile Page'
WHEN 65 THEN 'Relationships'
WHEN 66 THEN 'Component Interface Property Peoplecode'
WHEN 67 THEN 'Optimization Models'
WHEN 68 THEN 'File References'
WHEN 69 THEN 'File Type Codes'
WHEN 70 THEN 'Archive Object Definitions'
WHEN 71 THEN 'Archive Templates (Type 2)'
WHEN 72 THEN 'Diagnostic Plug In'
WHEN 73 THEN 'Analytic Model'
ELSE 'UNKNOWN OBJECT TYPE' END) AS OBJECTTYPE
, RTRIM(RTRIM(OBJECTVALUE1) || '.' || RTRIM(OBJECTVALUE2) || '.' || RTRIM(OBJECTVALUE3) || '.' || RTRIM(OBJECTVALUE4),'.') OBJECTNAAM
FROM PSPROJECTITEM
WHERE PROJECTNAME = 'RFC123456' --- Replace with your project name...
ORDER BY OBJECTTYPE, OBJECTVALUE1, OBJECTVALUE2, OBJECTVALUE3;

Just note the following line and replace it with the desired project name

WHERE PROJECTNAME = 'RFC123456' --- Replace with your project name...


The output could be something like this, for a small project:
OBJECTTYPE          OBJECTNAAM
AE program               TEMP
AE section               TEMP.MAIN
Job Definitions          TEMP
Process Definition       Application Engine.TEMP
Recurrence Definition    Something about TEMP
AE PeopleCode       TEMP.MAIN GBLdefault 1900-01-01.Step01.OnExecute


Very useful for documenting purposes, for example!
