Release PeopleSoft 9.1 and PeopleTools 8.50: Effort to implement the Wow
As stated in an earlier blog post the new PeopleTools 8.50 really gives you a WOW.
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.
Peopletools 8.50: The Wow-effect
It has been a while since I had the “WOW-effect” about a new application.
Most internet applications have been set-up with technologies that we find normal nowadays. Technologies like partial page refresh (AJAX), drag and drop layout, WEB 2.0 like wiki, communities etc.
But these rules do not seem not to apply to ERP systems. They are still robust, pretty user-unfriendly en most of all not appealing.
Well, Oracle seems to have done it.
Oracle introduced a new layout with Peoplesoft 9.1 in combination with Peopletools 8.50, with building blocks of today’s technologies.
Setting up predelivered Related Content services
With the release of PeopleTools 8.50, Related Content was introduced. Related Content Framework enables you to contextually link PeopleSoft pages to other PeopleSoft pages and non-PeopleSoft pages and view all related pages within one frame, without leaving the primary page.
See following datasheet from Oracle describing the license use.
This post describes the steps that need to be taken to enables Portal Related Content Services in PeopleSoft Applications.
