PeopleSoft Tools

Interfaces & ConversionTool: SQR’s

People Code: The proprietary scripting language used in the development of PeopleSoft applications.

People Tools:•Development •Administration•Reporting and Analysis

Panel Designer:

Tree Manager:

Used for creating panels (screens) for user input

Process Scheduler:Process Scheduler provides PeopleSoft applications with a user-configurable tool that integrates with PeopleSoft panels, PeopleSoft security, and PeopleCode functions. Through this integration, Process Scheduler enables users to request and monitor batch processes related to their PeopleSoft application.

1) Reporting

2) Conversion

3) Interface Tool

Used for security and reporting.

PeopleSoft Tools

Application Designer: Using Application Designer to build, maintain, customize, and upgrade PeopleSoft applications. We can use Panel, panel group and menu to create application.

Data Management:

Data Mover: It allows you to import and export data across multiple database platforms.

Import Manager: to import data into your PeopleSoft tables.

Mass Change: It use to create SQL processes which supplement your application functionality.

PeopleSoft Tools

Reports:SQR’s:

Crystal: Crystal Reports from Seagate software is a report formatter that helps you generate clear and easy-to-read printed reports containing data from your PeopleSoft applications.

N vision (mainly financials):

PS/nVision enables you to retrieve information from your PeopleSoft database into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet—not merely as "raw" data, but as information in a form that helps you see the big picture, explore the details, and make decisions.

Query:For defining database queries in an easy-to-use graphical environment. You create queries to extract the data you need from your PeopleSoft database.

Tree Manager:Tree Manager to create and maintain trees. A tree is a PeopleSoft object that defines the groupings and hierarchical relationships between the values of a database field.

Cube Manager:Cube Manager allows you to define and save templates for building and updating OLAP cubes. The Cube Manager provides all these benefits while achieving a nearly platform-independent solution -the great majority of a cube's design attributes can be applied to either Arbor Essbase or Cognos PowerPlay.

Used for complex reporting

Business Process:

Workflow:

Message Agent:

To automate the process with 3rd party applications.

To automate the Business process without any human intervention.

LEGACY MANAGEMENT PRACTICE

What are legacy systems? IBM Mainframes in the high-range and AS/400, Unix in the mid-range systems Developed 2-3 decades ago Poorly documented, expensive to maintain and yet extremely fast and robust! Used by most banks, insurance companies, manufacturing, automotive, power/ utilities

and retail clients

Introduction of Legacy Practice

What are Legacy Systems?

Mainframes

Relatively large computers built to handle very large databases, thousands of user terminals with fast response times, and millions of transactions

Used mainly by

•Large companies for mission critical applications and bulk data processing

e.g. Banking and Insurance (Mellon Bank, Allstate), Retail (Wesco, Les Schwab, Lowe’s), Healthcare (Kaiser Permanente, Harrington Benefit Services), Automotive (Blue Bird, Goodyear), Telecommunications (Alltel)

•Government organizations (e.g. Ohio Dept. of Taxation)

Mid Range Systems

Application System 400 (AS/400)

Middleware

Technologies used to connect Legacy to Open Systems (Microsoft/ Sun technologies)

IBM MQ Series

TIBCO

Skills – Mainframe

Combinations :

–COBOL, CICS, VSAM, JCL

–COBOL, CICS, DB2, JCL

–COBOL, IMS DB/DC, JCL

COBOL – VS COBOL II, MF COBOL, AcuCOBOL

Database Management Systems (DBMS)

IMS DB/DC – an older hierarchical DBMS (Info Mgmt System – DB is the database component and DC is online screens) – very complex logic, used from within COBOL programs

IDMS – an older network DBMS – also very complex

DB2 – a Relational DBMS like Oracle

VSAM (Virtual Storage access method) is a file based system – used for data storage and access…which is now done by a DBMS

JCL (Job Control Language)

Tools

Version Control: Changeman, Endevor, CA-Panvalet

Debugging: Xpeditor

Tool-writing: Rexx, CLIST

Environment

MVS or Z/OS – OS; TSO (Time Sharing Option), ISPF (Interactive System Productivity Facility) – Development Environments

Skills – AS/400

Languages:

RPG, RPGLE – different versions (COBOL programmers can usually learn this very fast)

COBOL, C, C++, Java etc. also work on AS/400

Operating System:

OS/400

Control Language:

CL/400 – similar to batch programming on DOS and JCL on mainframe

Development Tools:

PDM (Programming Development Manager), SEU (Source Entry Utility – the editor for PDM), DFU (Database File Utility – similar to SPUFI for DB2), SDA (Screen Design Aid), RLU (Report Layout Utility), QUERY/400

Signon / Synon / 2E- An integrated development environment to develop COBOL and RPG code for AS/400s

Database:

DB2/400 – IBM DB2, but operates on OS/400 – Knowledge of SQL
